Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • This formulation offers excellent moisturizing for your oily skin due to avocado oil and apricot kernel oil, which provide emollient action and hydration without exacerbating oiliness.
  • While Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate offer general hydration, they are not specialized for managing oily shine, which is your main goal.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin, featuring soothing ingredients like calendula officinalis flower extract and chamomile extract with no harsh or prohibited substances.

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 Ultra Hydrating Overnight Dream Cream work for oily skin?

This moisturizing treatment works well for oily skin, though other products fit it better because its hydrators are not specialized for managing oily shine. To best care for oily skin, a product of this type needs peptides and lightweight hydrating agents that support the skin barrier without heavy oils or excess grease.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily skin?

Avocado oil and apricot kernel oil make this cream a good fit for oily skin by providing moisture without making your skin oily. A product of this type needs peptides and hydrating ingredients to manage oily shine while keeping a lightweight texture, along with barrier-supporting ingredients that prevent breakouts.

What does Melatonin do for oily skin?

Melatonin helps calm the skin and supports its overnight repair, making it a soothing addition to your routine. It is lightweight and unlikely to clog pores, so it works well for keeping oily skin balanced and comfortable.

What does Hemp Seed Oil do for oily skin?

Hemp seed oil helps balance oily skin by providing lightweight moisture that does not clog pores, keeping your face feeling soft and smooth. It is unlikely to trigger breakouts, making it a comfortable choice for daily hydration.

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