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

Brand: [Vaseline](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/brands/vaseline)

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 products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Highly unsuitable for your oily skin due to the presence of petrolatum and dimethicone, which provide occlusive and emollient actions that can exacerbate oiliness.
- While glycerin offers moderate moisturizing benefits and enhances barrier resilience, these ingredients are not specialized for managing oiliness.

## What the research says

- 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/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against Vaseline Cocoa Glow for oily skin?

Lovi advises against using this lotion on oily skin because it contains petrolatum and dimethicone, which can worsen oiliness. Oily skin needs a product that provides lightweight hydration using peptides and soothing ingredients without heavy oils or pore-clogging ingredients.

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

Petrolatum and dimethicone make this cream a poor fit because they trap moisture and create a heavy layer that may worsen oiliness. A body lotion for oily skin needs peptides and lightweight hydrating agents that provide moisture without heavy oils or breakouts.

### What does Water do for oily skin?

Water helps keep oily skin hydrated without adding grease or clogging pores. Keeping oily skin properly hydrated may also help balance oil production and reduce unwanted shine.

### What does Glycerin do for oily skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy and supports the skin barrier. Because this product is a weak fit for your skin, an ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil while protecting the skin.

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

This product is a poor match for oily skin because heavy ingredients like petrolatum and dimethicone trap moisture and may make excess oiliness worse. Oily skin needs lightweight lotions with humectants like glycerin that hydrate without clogging pores.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

You should not use this cream on your oily skin because heavy ingredients like petrolatum and dimethicone may make your face feel too greasy and clog pores. To manage oily skin properly, you need a lightweight moisturizer with oil-controlling ingredients and water-based hydrators instead of rich butters and heavy oils.

### How often should I use it?

This body lotion is a poor match for your oily skin because petrolatum and dimethicone can make your skin feel oilier. To care for oily skin, a product needs lightweight hydrators and balancing ingredients that do not trap extra oil.

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

This body lotion is a poor match for oily skin and may make your skin feel heavier or oilier due to ingredients that trap moisture on the skin. Oily skin needs lightweight moisturizers with hydrating ingredients like glycerin that do not block pores or add extra weight.

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
