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 the presence of coconut oil and glycerin, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, but these ingredients may not offer sufficient seboregulation for oily shine.
- The product provides general skincare benefits, such as cleansing and soothing, with ingredients like allantoin and vitamin E, which are supportive but not directly targeted at managing oily shine.

## 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/))
- Topical gel containing chitosan, 0.2% chlorhexidine, allantoin and dexpanthenol did not improve postoperative comfort regarding swelling and pain, but improved the wound's aesthetic appearance following impacted lower third molar extraction compared to no gel. ([Medicina Oral, Patologia Oral Y Cirugia Bucal, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27475700/))
- A topical gel containing chitosan, chlorhexidine, allantoin, and dexpanthenol significantly reduced postoperative pain, trismus, swelling, and analgesic consumption, while improving wound healing after third molar surgery compared to a placebo. ([Medicina Oral, Patologia Oral Y Cirugia Bucal, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32683390/))
- Overnight virgin coconut oil application provides a skin protective effect against damage and increased TEWL from frequent alcohol-based hand sanitizer usage in 60 volunteers, resulting in a 25% increase in perceived moisture content compared to the control group.

- 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.

- Over-the-counter retinol products provided only weak evidence for a mild ameliorating effect on fine facial skin wrinkle lines in randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials, and major methodological flaws call the validity of positive results into question.

- A cosmetic niacinamide/peptide/retinyl propionate regimen significantly improved periorbital wrinkle appearance relative to a 0.02% tretinoin regimen at 8 weeks with comparable benefits at 24 weeks, while demonstrating significantly better tolerability in 196 women. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20374604/))
- A novel triple-active cosmetic formulation containing 4-hexylresorcinol, retinyl propionate, and niacinamide improved the visual appearance of photoageing similarly to 0.02% tretinoin and reversed a consensus gene signature associated with ageing in female adults while causing less skin irritation. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38685700/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with NatureWell Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Moisturizing Cream for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because while this cream provides moisture using coconut oil and glycerin, it may not offer enough oil control for your oily skin. A moisturizing treatment for oily skin needs a lightweight texture without heavy oils, combining peptides and hydrating agents to manage shine without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
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 fit for oily skin because it contains coconut oil and mineral oil, which may add unwanted oiliness and shine instead of controlling excess oil. An oily skin type needs lightweight hydrating agents and peptides without heavy oils to maintain a balanced, non-greasy feel.

### What does Coconut Oil do for oily skin?

Coconut oil is generally not a good fit for oily skin because it is heavy and may clog pores, leading to breakouts. Skin of this type needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help keep pores clear and control excess 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 it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This cream is used as a moisturizer in the morning and evening steps of a routine for oily skin. It offers moderate hydration, but oily skin of this type needs ingredients that help control shine and balance oil production.

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

You can use this cream with retinol, and applying it after your retinol treatment helps calm and hydrate your skin. This type of product works best for oily skin when it includes oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use it?

This product is a poor match for oily skin and may not help manage extra shine. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free moisturizers with ingredients that balance oil production and keep pores clear.

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

This cream may not suit oily skin because it lacks ingredients to manage extra oil and shine. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to stay clear and balanced.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is well suited for the body, but it is not ideal for the thin skin around the eyes. A product for the eye area needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that target puffiness and dark circles without heavy oils.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, hexyl cinnamal, coumarin, and benzyl alcohol). Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
