A poor match for oily skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Extremely unsuitable for oily skin due to the presence of shea butter and dimethicone, which provide emollient and occlusive actions beneficial for dry skin.
- Offers moderate moisturizing due to the presence of glycerin and caprylic capric triglyceride in proper concentrations for hydrating the skin, but these benefits are irrelevant or mostly supportive for your oily shine and oily skin.

## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization. ([Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against PRAI Ageless Throat & Decolletage Creme for oily skin?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it contains heavy ingredients like shea butter and dimethicone that trap moisture and can feel too heavy. Oily skin needs a product that provides lightweight hydration with peptides or soothing extracts, and avoids heavy oils and pore-clogging ingredients.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/)

### Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for oily skin?

This cream is a poor fit for oily skin mainly because it contains shea butter and dimethicone, which create a heavy layer that traps moisture and is meant for dry skin. A body lotion for oily skin needs effective hydrating and soothing ingredients, lightweight textures without heavy oils, and components that manage oily shine without clogging pores or causing breakouts.

### What does Water do for oily skin?

Water helps keep oily skin hydrated without adding grease or clogging pores. Keeping oily skin properly hydrated may also help balance oil production and reduce unwanted shine.

### What does Glycerin do for oily skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy and supports the skin barrier. Because this product is a weak fit for your skin, an ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil while protecting the skin.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [International Journal of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31840548/)

### Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it contains heavy butters and silicone that trap moisture and oil, which can feel too heavy. Oily skin needs lightweight hydrating products with glycerin and light hydrators instead of heavy creams.

### Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin due to heavy ingredients like shea butter and dimethicone, which can feel too rich and trap oils, so it is best to avoid using it with your retinol. Oily skin needs lightweight hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid that provide moisture without extra heaviness.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin due to heavy butters and smoothing agents that trap oils, so it is best to avoid using it. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that balance oil instead.

### Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it contains heavy ingredients like shea butter and dimethicone that can trap oil and clog pores. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that balance oil without heavy blockers.

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
