Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing and treatment for your oily skin due to Jojoba Seed Oil and Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, which hydrate and nourish without exacerbating oiliness.
  • While Salicylic Acid provides some exfoliation beneficial for acne, the inclusion of multiple oils like Coconut Oil may not be ideal for managing breakouts.
  • The formulation is safe for your skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and is unlikely to cause irritation.

How to apply

  • Use this AM and PM routine every day to help clear your skin. Always remember to finish with SPF in the morning.
  • Apply the moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your SPF during the day.
  • Gently press a small amount into your skin and avoid rubbing to keep pores clear.
  • Apply on clean, slightly damp skin to help the product absorb better and control oil.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a simple patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers

How well does Murad Multi-Vitamin Infusion Oil work for oily acne-prone skin?

Murad Multi-Vitamin Infusion Oil is an average fit for oily acne-prone skin because while jojoba oil and salicylic acid help nourish and clear blemishes, the inclusion of coconut oil may trigger breakouts. A product of this type needs lightweight ingredients that provide hydration and blemish care without clogging pores or adding excess oil.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012

Which ingredients make this treatment a good fit for oily acne-prone skin?

Jojoba seed oil and moringa oleifera seed oil hydrate and nourish your oily skin without adding excess oil, while salicylic acid provides gentle exfoliation that helps manage breakouts. Products of this type need lightweight textures, powerful hydrating and repairing ingredients, soothing extracts, and the absence of heavy oils to prevent clogged pores and excess oiliness.

What does Vitamin C do for oily acne-prone skin?

Vitamin C helps calm red and irritated skin and may improve the look of post-acne marks when used as part of your routine. For oily and acne-prone skin, this type of product also needs soothing ingredients and lightweight hydrators that keep pores clear without feeling heavy.

European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2017Archives of Dermatological Research, 2024

What does Retinyl Propionate do for oily acne-prone skin?

Retinyl propionate helps maintain skin and sebaceous glands by supporting the normal turnover of cells. It helps improve the look of aging and skin texture while generally causing less irritation than stronger prescription options.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2010International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024

Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?

Apply this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. This product is unlikely to cause irritation, though an oily acne-prone skin type needs a lightweight, oil-free formula with salicylic acid or niacinamide to help control breakouts without clogging pores.

Can I use this treatment with niacinamide, and in what order?

You can use this treatment with niacinamide, applying niacinamide first after cleansing and toning, and this oil afterward. This product works for your skin, though other products fit it better because while it offers moderate hydration without extra oiliness, it includes multiple oils like coconut oil that may not be ideal for managing breakouts. To better care for oily acne-prone skin, a treatment of this type needs lightweight ingredients that hydrate without clogging pores and targeted ingredients that help clear blemishes without heavy oils.

How often should I use it?

This treatment is used in the evening as part of your routine. This product of this type needs lighter, oil-free hydration and targeted blemish-clearing ingredients to properly manage oily skin without clogging pores.

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?

This oil works for your oily acne-prone skin, though other products fit it better because oils like coconut oil may not be ideal for managing breakouts even though salicylic acid helps clear them. It is unlikely to cause irritation since it lacks harsh ingredients, but a product of this type needs lighter, non-clogging hydrators and blemish-fighting ingredients that keep your skin clear without heavy oils.

BioMed Research International, 2020Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012

Can I use this treatment around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this treatment around the eyes and on your body, but it is an average fit for oily acne-prone skin because heavy oils may worsen breakouts. Products for this skin need lightweight hydrators and clarifying ingredients like salicylic acid to keep pores clear and calm.
