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

Brand: [Eucerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/brands/eucerin)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/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 poor match for oily skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin due to lactic acid and urea, but these ingredients are not specialized enough to effectively address oily shine and may pose risks of worsening the condition.
- Mineral oil and dimethicone are present, which can be occlusive and potentially clog pores, offering limited benefits for oil control on your oily skin.

## What the research says

- Topical 40% urea cream achieved improvement in less time and showed superiority over 12% ammonium lactate lotion in skin roughness, fissure reduction, thickness, and dryness at day 14 in patients treated for moderate to severe xerosis. ([American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11978141/))
- Topical treatment with K101 achieved a significantly higher mycological cure rate compared to placebo in patients with ≤50% nail involvement (27.2% vs 10.4%), while showing early visible improvements in nail appearance and no safety issues. ([Mycoses, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22681227/))
- 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/))
- Topical 12% ammonium lactate produced a significant sparing of epidermal and dermal atrophy induced by clobetasol propionate in human volunteers, without influencing the corticosteroid's bioavailability or antiinflammatory properties. ([Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1597538/))
- A lactic acid/ceramide lotion significantly improved skin moisturization and desquamation compared to no treatment in women with dry, rough skin on the anterior shins. ([The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33178384/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Eucerin Intensive Repair for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because mineral oil and dimethicone can clog pores and offer limited oil control for oily skin. To properly care for oily skin, a moisturizing treatment needs lightweight hydrating agents and peptides without heavy oils, along with ingredients that support the skin barrier.

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

Mineral oil and dimethicone make this cream a poor fit for oily skin because they can clog pores and trap oil. Lactic acid and urea also offer only moderate exfoliation and may not help with oily shine. An oily skin type needs lightweight hydrating agents and peptides without heavy oils.

### What does Alpha Hydroxy Acid do for oily skin?

Alpha hydroxy acid helps clear away dead skin cells to keep oily skin smooth and prevent clogged pores. It may also help calm redness and improve overall skin texture when used consistently.
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 do Natural Moisturizing Factors do for oily skin?

Natural Moisturizing Factors help keep oily skin properly hydrated without feeling heavy. They support a balanced skin barrier by holding onto water and maintaining moisture levels.
Sources: [Dermatologic Therapy, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14728698/), [Molecules, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33809557/)

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

This product is used in the evening for your oily skin, though this heavy formula is a poor match and Lovi advises caution. Oily skin needs lightweight oil-control ingredients and non-clogging moisturizers instead.

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

This lotion may not be the best match for oily skin when used alongside retinol, as heavy ingredients like mineral oil and dimethicone can clog pores and worsen shine. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-controlling moisturizers with ingredients that manage excess oil without blocking pores.

### How often should I use it?

This heavy moisturizing treatment is a poor match for oily skin, so it should be used cautiously or avoided to prevent clogged pores and excess shine. Oily skin needs lighter products with oil-controlling ingredients and gentle exfoliants that specifically target shine rather than heavy mineral oils.

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

Yes, this cream may clog pores and cause breakouts on oily skin because it contains mineral oil and dimethicone, which sit heavily on the skin and offer limited oil control. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators and targeted ingredients that clear pores and control shine without feeling greasy.

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

This lotion works well on the body, but you should be careful using it around the eyes where the skin is much thinner. A body moisturizer for oily skin needs lightweight hydrators and oil-controlling ingredients that keep pores clear.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

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