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

Brand: [L'Oréal](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/brands/l-oreal)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/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 moisturizing for your oily skin due to glycerin and water-soluble collagen, which hydrate and plump the skin, but it lacks specialized ingredients to address oily shine, potentially worsening the condition.
- While glycerin provides humectant action suitable for oily skin, the formula lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control.

## Key ingredients

Glycerin, Water-Soluble Collagen

## What the research says

- Both oral and topical collagen supplements help delay the skin aging process by improving moisture, elasticity, and hydration, with no differences arising between the two types of collagen. ([Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35223163/))
- 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 use of cosmetic products containing collagen or its peptides improves the general condition of the skin, reduces wrinkle depth, improves hydration and density, reduces transepithelial water loss, and delays the aging process, while oral bioactive collagen peptides also reduce nail breakage. ([Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38534748/))
- 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/))
- Topical application of TAC/Collagen postbiotics gel improved skin moisture score and inflammation index, and reduced porphyrins and brown spots in 20 volunteers with acne vulgaris. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35818134/))
- Topical collagen tripeptide application improved skin wrinkles, elasticity, and density while reducing advanced glycated end products in 22 Asian women over 4 weeks. ([International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35163025/))
- Marine collagen extracted from Greenland halibut skin showed a non-cytotoxic effect on fibroblast cells and provided a slight skin hydration effect when incorporated into cosmetic hydrogel formulations at dosages of 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5% in 23 healthy volunteers. ([Marine Drugs, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36827098/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with L'Oréal Collagen Moisture Filler for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because this moisturizing treatment lacks ingredients to control oily shine and may worsen your oily skin. A product of this type for oily skin needs a lightweight texture without heavy oils, along with ingredients that manage oil and support the skin barrier while providing hydration.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it relies on glycerin and water-soluble collagen, which hydrate the skin, but it lacks specialized ingredients to control oily shine and may worsen the condition. A moisturizing treatment for oily skin needs effective hydrating and soothing ingredients, light textures without heavy oils, and ingredients that support the skin barrier while managing shine and preventing 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.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [International Journal of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31840548/)

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

This moisturizing treatment goes near the end of your evening routine, after your cleanser, toner, and treatment. Because this product is a poor match for oily skin, an ideal product of this type for your skin needs lightweight hydrators and oil-controlling ingredients to keep shine in check while softening the face.

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

You may use this moisturizing treatment with retinol, but apply the retinol first and let it absorb before putting on this cream. Because this formula lacks oil control ingredients for oily skin, a product of this type needs mattifying agents and oil-absorbing ingredients to keep shine under control.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it lacks ingredients to manage oily shine, which may worsen your skin. An oily skin routine needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to keep pores clear and control excess oil.

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

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it lacks oil-controlling ingredients, which may worsen your shine and pore issues. An oily skin type needs lightweight or mattifying ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to help balance oil and keep pores clear.

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

This cream can be used on the body and the thin skin around the eyes, though it is a poor match for oily skin. Oily skin needs lightweight oil-controlling ingredients and balancing hydrators to stay clear and fresh.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
