Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as niacinamide helps regulate oil production and glycerin provides hydration, though stronger oil-controlling ingredients are absent for optimal results.
- The formulation provides excellent antioxidant treatment and general hydration benefits due to niacinamide and camellia sinensis leaf extract, which shield from environmental stressors and hydrate your skin.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like niacinamide and panthenol.
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
★4.8Overall rating based on 1.9k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this moisturizer is widely praised for its unique "pudding" texture that provides deep hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, making it ideal for combination, oily, and normal skin types.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores for oily skin, as it has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients. However, an oily skin type needs stronger oil-controlling ingredients to manage excess shine and achieve optimal results.
