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

Brand: [Pond's](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/brands/pond-s)
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.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin due to the presence of lactic acid, which promotes skin renewal and helps manage oily shine.
- Glycerin provides hydration, but the formula lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients for optimal results on oily skin.

## What the research says

- Topical application of TAC/Collagen postbiotics gel improved skin moisture score and inflammation index, and reduced porphyrins and brown spots in 20 volunteers with acne vulgaris. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35818134/))
- Topical collagen tripeptide application improved skin wrinkles, elasticity, and density while reducing advanced glycated end products in 22 Asian women over 4 weeks. ([International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35163025/))
- Marine collagen extracted from Greenland halibut skin showed a non-cytotoxic effect on fibroblast cells and provided a slight skin hydration effect when incorporated into cosmetic hydrogel formulations at dosages of 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5% in 23 healthy volunteers. ([Marine Drugs, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36827098/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- 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/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream a weak match for oily skin?

This cream is a weak match for your oily skin because it lacks enough ingredients to control excess oil production. Moisturizers that fit oily skin well need a lightweight texture with hydrating agents and peptides, without heavy oils, to keep the skin clear and balanced.

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

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it includes heavy oils like mineral oil and isopropyl palmitate that may add unwanted shine and clog pores. To work well for oily skin, a moisturizer needs lightweight hydrating agents and oil-controlling ingredients that manage shine without heavy oils.

### What do Alpha Hydroxy Acids do for oily skin?

Alpha hydroxy acids help clear acne and smooth out oily skin by gently lifting away dead cells and calming irritation. These acids are generally well tolerated and may improve skin texture with regular use.
Sources: [Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21029205/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31553119/)

### What does Collagen do for oily skin?

Collagen helps keep oily skin hydrated and balanced without adding heaviness. It improves overall skin condition and helps maintain moisture levels, but an oily skin routine also needs ingredients that control excess oil and clear pores.
Sources: [Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35223163/), [Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38534748/)

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

This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before moisturizing. Because it is a weak match for oily skin, a product of this type needs extra oil-balancing ingredients to manage shine properly.

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

You can use this treatment with retinol by applying your retinol first and following it with this cream to keep your skin soft. Because this formula lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients for oily skin, a moisturizer of this type needs added oil-balancing ingredients like l-carnitine or ceramides to help calm and manage shine.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26293170/)

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a weak match for oily skin, so it needs ingredients that help balance oil along with light hydration.

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

This cream may cause breakouts and clog pores on oily skin because it contains mineral oil and isopropyl palmitate. A product for oily skin needs oil-free hydrators and ingredients that help control oil instead.

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

This cream is generally too heavy and active for the very thin skin around your eyes and may not spread well on larger body areas. To care for these specific zones, skin of this type needs lightweight hydrators and gentle, soothing formulas that absorb easily without feeling greasy.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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