Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin due to glycerin and hydrolyzed collagen, which hydrate and plump, but it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control to address your main goal of reducing oily shine.
  • Niacinamide provides some seboregulation and humectant action from glycerin, offering general skincare benefits like hydration and soothing.
  • The formula is safe for your oily skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

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.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 200+ reviews

Users consistently praise this serum for delivering an immediate "glass skin" finish and deep hydration, making it particularly effective for dry, dull, or mature skin types. The innovative twist-click packaging and milk protein formula are hits for their hygienic and smoothing properties, though some users find the 15ml quantity too small for the price and the texture slightly too sticky for oily skin.

Questions and answers

Why is medicube Collagen Glow Booster Milk Serum a weak match for oily skin?

This treatment is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients for oil control to reduce oily shine. To truly fit oily skin, a product of this type needs high concentrations of hyaluronic acid for hydration, niacinamide to regulate oil production, and soothing ingredients like allantoin.

Which ingredients make this serum a poor fit for oily skin?

This serum is a weak match for your oily skin because it lacks sufficient oil-controlling ingredients to reduce shiny skin. To better suit oily skin, a product of this type needs high concentrations of hyaluronic acid for optimal hydration, along with ingredients like niacinamide and allantoin to help regulate oil production, minimize pores, soothe the skin, and maintain overall balance.

What does Milk Protein Extract do for oily skin?

Milk protein extract is unlikely to be a good fit for oily skin because ingredients containing dairy or milk components may stimulate oil glands and promote acne breakouts. Oily skin types typically need lightweight, oil-free hydrators and ingredients that help balance sebum production without heavy dairy proteins.

Nutrition, 2010Journal Der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft = Journal of the German Society of Dermatology, 2009

What does Hydrolyzed Collagen do for oily skin?

Hydrolyzed collagen helps keep oily skin hydrated and balanced without feeling heavy or greasy. Because this type of skin tends to lose moisture while producing excess oil, it needs lightweight ingredients that provide hydration and support overall skin health.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2015Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2019

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

This serum goes in the evening routine after cleansing and toning, followed by a moisturizer. Oily skin needs a product of this type that also includes ingredients for oil control to target shine effectively.

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

You can use this serum with retinol, applying the serum before your retinol if you want extra hydration, or after to help calm potential dryness. This product is unlikely to irritate your skin, though it is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks oil-controlling ingredients. Oily skin needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or oil-absorbing minerals to reduce shine.

How often should I use this serum?

You can use this serum in the evening as part of your routine, or twice a day if your skin tolerates it well. Because it is a weak match for oily skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that help control oil and reduce shine.

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

This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your oily skin, as the formula is generally safe with no harsh ingredients that typically cause irritation. However, because it is a weak match for your skin, an ideal product for you needs ingredients that provide strong oil control to properly manage excess shine.

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

This serum is safe to use around the eyes and on the body because it lacks harsh ingredients and has a gentle safety profile. However, an oily skin type needs a product of this type to include targeted oil-control ingredients and lightweight hydrators to properly balance shine in those areas.

Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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