A weak match for oily skin; the eye cares alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for oily skin as niacinamide helps regulate sebum and hyaluronic acid provides hydration, but it lacks stronger oil-controlling ingredients to fully address your oily shine.
- The presence of peptides and hyaluronic acid offers some plumping and fine line reduction, but these benefits are secondary to your primary concern of managing oily shine.
- The formula is safe for your oily skin, containing soothing ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid with no harsh or prohibited substances.
