The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Germany.

Brand: [AmLactin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/brands/amlactin)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin due to the presence of ammonium lactate, but the concentration is insufficient for your concerns, posing risks of worsening them.
- Mineral oil and glycerin provide hydration but can feel heavy and occlusive, offering limited benefits for oil control on 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/))
- Application of a cream containing lactic acid 12% and pramoxine HCl 1% significantly improved skin dryness, hydration, and itch compared with a nontreated control in 24 women with a history of dry itchy skin. ([Cutis, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15027519/))
- Topical 12% ammonium lactate produced a significant sparing of epidermal and dermal atrophy induced by clobetasol propionate in human volunteers, without influencing the corticosteroid's bioavailability or antiinflammatory properties. ([Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1597538/))
- A lactic acid/ceramide lotion significantly improved skin moisturization and desquamation compared to no treatment in women with dry, rough skin on the anterior shins. ([The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33178384/))
- 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/))
- Repeated application of concentrated water-in-oil emulsions over four weeks caused no skin irritation, positively affected skin properties, and delivered almost 50% of the applied fluorescein sodium, with isopropyl myristate showing superior penetration performance compared to liquid paraffin in healthy volunteers. ([International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31525444/))
- A soap-free cleansing lotion containing cetyl alcohol and sodium cocoyl apple amino acids reduced skin surface impurities and improved skin hydration, barrier function, and skin tone in 27 healthy adult subjects over 30 days. ([Cureus, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40978887/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with AmLactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because this lotion offers only moderate exfoliation that may be insufficient for your oily skin, while its mineral oil and glycerin can feel heavy and occlusive with limited oil-control benefits. Oily skin needs a product that features lightweight hydration, peptides, and ingredients that support the skin barrier without heavy oils or breakout risks.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Ammonium lactate, mineral oil, and glycerin make this body lotion a poor fit for oily skin. The lotion needs peptides, lightweight hydrating agents, soothing extracts, and ingredients that support the skin barrier without heavy oils to control shine and prevent breakouts.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Lactic Acid do for oily skin?

Lactic acid helps manage oily skin by significantly reducing oil production and pore size while improving moisture levels. It supports a clearer and smoother look through gentle surface renewal.
Sources: [Frontiers in Physiology, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42326996/)

### What does Ammonium Lactate do for oily skin?

Ammonium lactate is not a typical fit for oily skin because it is designed to intensely soften and moisturize very dry, rough skin rather than control oil. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight ingredients that help clear pores and balance oil, such as salicylic acid.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1350137/)

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

Exercise caution when using this body lotion on oily skin because its heavy ingredients can feel too rich and offer limited oil control. Oily skin needs lighter hydrators and effective exfoliating ingredients to keep pores clear and skin balanced.

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

Exercise caution when using this lotion with retinol, as its exfoliating acids and heavy mineral oil may increase the likelihood of skin irritation and feel too heavy on oily skin. To help manage oil and keep skin balanced, this skin type typically needs lightweight, oil-controlling ingredients and dedicated treatments rather than heavy, occlusive lotions.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22648223/)

### How often should I use this body lotion?

AmLactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion is a poor match for oily skin because its ingredients can feel heavy and clog pores without controlling oil. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and targeted blemish-control ingredients instead.

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

This lotion contains heavy ingredients like mineral oil that can feel thick and trap oils, which makes it more likely to clog pores and cause breakouts on oily skin. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and targeted exfoliants that keep pores clear without heavy layers.

### Is this body lotion fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
