Category: [Eye care and eye patches](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/best/eye-creams)

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 eye cares alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent moisturizing for your oily skin, with shea butter and avocado oil providing emollient action to hydrate and smooth texture, though it lacks sufficient ingredients for effective seboregulation to address oily shine.
- While it provides general skincare benefits like hydration, these are mostly supportive and not directly targeted at your primary concern of oily shine.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado a weak match for oily skin?

This eye care is a weak match for oily skin because its rich shea butter and avocado oil provide heavy moisture but lack ingredients to manage oily shine. Eye care for oily skin needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients that hydrate without feeling heavy.

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

Avocado oil and shea butter make this cream a weak match for oily skin because their rich texture does not help manage excess shine. Eye care for oily skin needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients that hydrate without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31957954/), [Lasers in Medical Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41134387/)

### 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.

### What does Shea Butter do for oily skin?

Shea butter may feel too heavy for oily skin and is unlikely to be the best fit without careful testing. This skin type needs light, non-greasy moisturizers and ingredients that balance oil production without clogging pores.

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

This eye care product is a weak match for your oily skin because it lacks ingredients to manage oily shine, though it offers hydration with shea butter and avocado oil. Oily skin needs lightweight moisturizers and targeted ingredients that control excess oil while keeping texture smooth.

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

You can use this rich cream with retinol, but apply your retinol first and let it absorb before putting this on top. Because this is a weak match for oily skin, an eye product for your skin needs lightweight hydrators and oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to manage shine while keeping the area smooth.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?
