Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin due to glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which hydrate without adding excess oil, but it lacks specialized ingredients to address oily shine, potentially worsening the condition.
- Caprylic capric triglyceride and dimethicone provide emollient properties that are generally well-tolerated by oily skin.
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.

Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for oily skin?
This cream is a weak match for your oily skin because it lacks specialized ingredients to manage oily shine, which may worsen your shine.

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 this cream go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This moisturizer goes as the third step in your morning routine and the final step in your evening routine, after cleansing and applying any treatments. While glycerin and hyaluronic acid help hydrate oily skin without adding excess oil, this product lacks specialized ingredients to address oily shine and may worsen the condition. Oily skin needs moisturizers with ingredients that balance oil production and reduce shine.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream with retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe the skin. To work well for oily skin, this type of product needs added ingredients to control shine and oil.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizer daily in your morning and evening routines, as it hydrates your skin without adding excess oil. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to control shine, oily skin also needs oil-balancing or mattifying ingredients to properly manage excess oil.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Life, 2023
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This cream is a weak match for oily skin because, while glycerin and hyaluronic acid hydrate without adding excess oil, it lacks specialized ingredients to control shine and may worsen it. A product for this skin type needs oil-absorbing or balancing ingredients to keep shine in check while keeping the skin soft and smooth.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Life, 2023
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this cream around the eyes and on the body because its ingredients hydrate and soften the skin safely. However, for oily skin, this product needs specialized ingredients to control shine and address excess oil.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
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, 2017Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization.
Life, 2023The 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, 2020Ten 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, 2001Niacinamide/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, 2012Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.
Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days.
BMC Oral Health, 2019
