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

Works for oily acne-prone skin; other sunscreens fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing and sun protection for your oily skin, with emollients like Caprylic Capric Triglyceride and UV filters such as Avobenzone and Octisalate providing hydration and defense, though these ingredients do not directly address your concerns with acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- Grape Seed Oil and Coconut Oil offer some emollient action suitable for oily skin, but the formula lacks sufficient ingredients for effective oil control.
- The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

## Key ingredients

Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, Octocrylene, Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

## What the research says

- Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization. ([Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/))
- Encapsulating avobenzone in low-porosity TiO2-embedded mesoporous silica (TiO2/SBA-S) reduced cutaneous avobenzone absorption from 0.76 to 0.50 nmol/mg while providing effective pollutant adsorbability, UVA protection, and a two- to three-fold reduction in photoaged skin cytokines/chemokines compared to the non-treatment control. ([European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36455708/))
- Chemical sunscreens containing avobenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, and octisalate showed no to minimal risks of dermal irritation, sensitization, photo-allergy, and photo-irritation in human subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/))
- The application of a sunscreen formulation containing ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, methyl anthranilate, and octocrylene does not significantly affect critical acne-related species such as Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, refuting the induction of facial dysbiosis in men. ([Archives of Dermatological Research, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39499337/))
- Encapsulation of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane in lipid microparticles significantly reduced their in vivo human skin penetration compared to nonencapsulated filters. ([Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21336009/))
- Microencapsulation of the BMDBM/HP-beta-CD complex in lipid microparticles significantly decreased the percutaneous penetration of the UV filter into the stratum corneum of human volunteers compared to the non-encapsulated sunscreen agent. ([Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20934293/))
- Following human skin application of an O/W emulsion containing 2% BMDBM loaded in lipospheres, 15% of the sunscreen accumulated in the uppermost layers of the stratum corneum without remarkably modifying skin permeation compared to unencapsulated sunscreen. ([Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17934329/))
- Dermal application of a sunscreen containing 10% homosalate in four volunteers resulted in delayed elimination with terminal half-times around 24 h and a bioavailability of cis-homosalate a factor of 2 lower than trans-homosalate, while metabolite ratios supported using oral-route urinary excretion fractions for dermal exposure assessments. ([Archives of Toxicology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38485782/))
- Homosalate exhibited the highest permeation among tested filters with a relative permeability rate of 4.2% and a depth of 60 um, and specific thickeners and emulsifiers successfully reduced its permeation without inhibiting the skin permeation of niacinamide. ([Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42594379/))
- An online-SPE-LC-MS/MS method successfully quantified specific urinary homosalate metabolites for up to 96 hours after dermal sunscreen application in a volunteer and detected metabolites exclusively in three German pilot participants who had used sunscreen within five days. ([Analytica Chimica Acta, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34399889/))
- Simulated real-life dermal sunscreen exposure in twenty human volunteers leads to the systemic bioavailability and urinary excretion of the UV filter 2-ethylhexyl salicylate and its metabolite, reaching concentration peaks at 7 to 8 hours with 70-80% of overall excretion within 24 hours. ([Archives of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31435713/))
- Controlled single dermal exposure to an EHS-containing sunscreen in three volunteers resulted in delayed systemic resorption with elimination half-lives between 6.6 and 9.7 hours, where the parent compound EHS occurred as the dominant urinary parameter. ([Archives of Toxicology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39134695/))
- Dermal exposure to EHS-containing sunscreen leads to the urinary excretion of EHS as the main biomarker alongside major metabolites 5OH-EHS, 5cx-EPS, 4OH-EHS, and 5oxo-EHS, measured using an extended enzymatic hydrolysis and on-line SPE LC-MS/MS method. ([Talanta, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38728806/))
- Incorporating rosmarinic acid into sunscreens enhanced the in vivo SPF of octocrylene by over 157% and reduced lipid peroxidation in the human stratum corneum. ([Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40227214/))
- Early application of sunscreen after ablative fractional skin resurfacing significantly increased the sensitization rate of the UV-filter, octocrylene, and the sunscreen compared to intact skin. ([The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25633273/))
- Dermal sunscreen exposure in 20 healthy volunteers led to plasma concentrations of avobenzone, octocrylene, and its metabolite CDAA reaching up to 11 μg/L, 25 μg/L, and 1352 μg/L, respectively. ([Environment International, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31470219/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does Supergoop! Glow Oil work for oily acne-prone skin?

This product works moderately well to provide hydration and sun protection for your oily skin, but it does not directly address breakouts or blemishes. A product of this type needs to include ingredients that help manage excess oil, clear blemishes, and keep skin calm without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/)

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

This oil fits your oily acne-prone skin because Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, Avobenzone, and Octisalate provide hydration and sun defense, while Grape Seed Oil and Coconut Oil offer emollient action without causing irritation. However, since it lacks oil control and acne-fighting ingredients, an alternative for this skin needs lightweight hydration, oil-balancing components, and ingredients like niacinamide or centella asiatica to manage breakouts.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/), [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/)

### What does Avobenzone do for oily acne-prone skin?

Avobenzone helps protect your skin from sun damage, but it does not treat oily or acne-prone skin on its own. Sunscreens for this skin type need ingredients that feel light, absorb excess oil, and won't clog your pores.

### What does Homosalate do for oily acne-prone skin?

Homosalate acts as a UV filter in sunscreen to protect oily and acne-prone skin from sun damage without feeling heavy. Chemical sunscreens containing this ingredient show a very low likelihood of causing skin irritation or breakouts.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/)

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

Supergoop! Glow Oil goes in the morning routine as the final step before makeup, following your cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. While it provides sun protection and hydration, oily acne-prone skin needs a product with effective oil control ingredients to better manage blemishes.

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

You can use this moisturizing spf during the day before retinol applications at night, and it is unlikely to irritate your oily acne-prone skin. However, because it lacks oil control and acne-fighting ingredients, this skin type needs a lightweight, oil-free formula with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to keep pores clear.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/)

### How often should I use it?

Supergoop! Glow Oil works for your oily acne-prone skin with moderate sun defense and hydration, though an average fit for this skin needs oil-control ingredients. It is unlikely to irritate your skin and can be applied daily in the morning as your sunscreen step.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/), [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/)

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

This product is unlikely to irritate your skin or cause breakouts, but because it leaves a greasy feel, oily acne-prone skin needs a lighter sunscreen with oil-absorbing ingredients to keep pores clear.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/), [Archives of Dermatological Research, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39499337/)

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

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