Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Moderate suitability for oily skin is offered due to the presence of avocado oil and olive oil, which provide hydration but can feel heavy on oily skin and do not directly address your concern of oily shine.
- The formula offers general skincare benefits like hydration from oils such as Persea Gratissima Oil and Olea Europaea Oil Fruit, but lacks specific ingredients for seboregulation.
- The safety profile is good, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like lavender oil and rose extract.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine every day to keep your face fresh.
- Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and toning, but right before your SPF in the morning.
- Gently press a small amount into your skin and let it absorb fully.
- Apply on clean, slightly dry skin to help control that oily shine.
- Avoid the eye area and do a quick patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers
How well does Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil work for oily skin?
This facial oil works okay for oily skin, though other products fit it better because rich oils like avocado and olive oil can feel heavy and do not help with oily shine. An oily skin type needs a moisturizing treatment that combines lightweight hydrating agents, peptides, and barrier-supporting ingredients without heavy oils to manage shine and keep skin soft.

What does Collagen do for oily skin?
Collagen helps keep oily skin soft and smooth while supporting skin hydration without feeling heavy. A product of this type for oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators and pore-clearing ingredients to balance moisture without clogging pores.
What does Avocado Oil do for oily skin?
This product type may feel too heavy for oily skin, which typically needs lightweight hydrators like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide to stay smooth without clogging pores.
Where does this facial oil go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This facial oil goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before your moisturizer. Oily skin works best with a moisturizing treatment that includes lightweight hydrators and ingredients that help control shine.
Can I use this facial oil with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this facial oil in your evening routine after applying your retinol, as it has a good safety profile with no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation. Oily skin works better with a lighter moisturizer that helps control shine and includes specific ingredients for balancing oil.
How often should I use this facial oil?
This facial oil can be used in your evening routine as a treatment, though oily skin needs a product that includes oil-controlling ingredients to properly manage shine.
Can this facial oil clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This facial oil may cause breakouts for oily skin, as some reviewers have experienced, though it is unlikely to irritate. It lacks ingredients to control oil and can feel heavy, so oily skin needs a lightweight product with oil-balancing ingredients.
Can I use this facial oil around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body, as it has a safe formula that is unlikely to cause irritation. However, oily skin needs a product that provides lightweight hydration and ingredients that help control shine.
Is this facial oil fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (linalool, limonene, geraniol, citronellol, and farnesol).
