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

Brand: [No7](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/brands/no7)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/best/moisturizers)

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.

Works for oily skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as Glycerin provides humectant action, but it lacks strong seboregulating ingredients to address oily shine.
- The presence of sodium hyaluronate and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 offers excellent moisturizing and anti-aging benefits, which are generally supportive but not directly targeted at your primary concern.

- A multi-modal methodology combining MALDI-MSI, in vivo RCM, echography, and histology revealed age-related decreases in extracellular matrix and epidermal-dermal junction proteins and undulation depth, while a blend of palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 improved subepidermal low-echogenic band thickness, density, and extracellular matrix structure compared to placebo.

- Over-the-counter retinol products provided only weak evidence for a mild ameliorating effect on fine facial skin wrinkle lines in randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials, and major methodological flaws call the validity of positive results into question. ([The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34980969/))
- A cosmetic niacinamide/peptide/retinyl propionate regimen significantly improved periorbital wrinkle appearance relative to a 0.02% tretinoin regimen at 8 weeks with comparable benefits at 24 weeks, while demonstrating significantly better tolerability in 196 women.

- A novel triple-active cosmetic formulation containing 4-hexylresorcinol, retinyl propionate, and niacinamide improved the visual appearance of photoageing similarly to 0.02% tretinoin and reversed a consensus gene signature associated with ageing in female adults while causing less skin irritation. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38685700/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.

([Lasers in Medical Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41134387/))
- A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39528438/))
- Rice protein hydrolysate and its characteristic peptides Leu-Leu-Lys, Leu-Pro-Lys, and pyroGlu-Lys reduced melanin content, tyrosinase activity, and ROS production in UVB-induced human epidermal melanocyte PIG1 cells by regulating the JNK/Β-Trcp/NFΗB-p65/MITF signaling pathway and lowering TRP-1 and TRP-2 expression. ([Food & Function, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32955075/))

## What reviewers say

Users consistently praise this night cream for its rich, non-greasy texture that provides immediate and lasting hydration, making it highly effective for dry and mature skin. While many report waking up to smoother, glowing skin with visibly reduced fine lines after a few weeks, results regarding deep wrinkles vary, and the strong fragrance is a polarizing feature.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Night Cream work for oily skin?

This night cream works moderately well for oily skin because glycerin provides good hydration, but it lacks strong ingredients to control oily shine. A product of this type needs lightweight ingredients that balance oil and manage shine without heavy oils or clogging pores.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin make this cream a good fit for oily skin by providing essential moisture without feeling heavy. However, because this skin type needs oil-balancing ingredients, lighter textures, and pore-clearing agents, other products may fit it better.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What do Collagen Peptides do for oily skin?

Collagen peptides help balance sebum production while improving skin hydration and elasticity. Taking them daily may support overall skin health and help keep your skin looking smooth and firm.
Sources: [Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26904164/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26362110/)

### What does Retinyl Palmitate do for oily skin?

Retinyl palmitate helps manage breakouts and smooth texture in oily skin with a low likelihood of irritation. This type of skin also benefits from ingredients that balance oil production and keep pores clear.
Sources: [International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34211271/), [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30674002/)

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

This cream goes in the evening routine as a moisturizing treatment after your cleansing toner. Oily skin needs a product with oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine.

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

You can use this cream alongside niacinamide by applying your niacinamide serum first and following with this moisturizing treatment. This cream needs oil-balancing and shine-controlling ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to better fit oily skin.

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment in the evening as part of your nightly routine. Daily application helps improve skin moisture and texture, though an oily skin type needs oil-balancing and shine-controlling ingredients to manage excess oil.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause purging, but it may feel a bit heavy on oily skin since it lacks strong oil-controlling ingredients. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight ingredients that help balance oil and keep pores clear.

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

You can use this cream on your body, but it is best to avoid the thin skin around your eyes since richer night creams may cause milia or irritation in that delicate area.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
