Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration for your oily skin, with niacinamide helping to regulate oil production and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid providing deep moisturization. While beneficial for general hydration and oil control, the formula lacks specific ingredients to target acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water and Anthemis Nobilis Oil Flower, and avoids harsh or prohibited substances.
  • This formulation provides excellent moisturizing treatment due to the presence of multiple forms of hyaluronic acid, such as sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, in concentrations that provide deep hydration.

How to apply

  • Use this AM and PM routine every day to help clear your skin. Always remember to finish with SPF in the morning.
  • Apply the moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your SPF during the day.
  • Gently press a small amount into your skin and avoid rubbing to keep pores clear.
  • Apply on clean, slightly damp skin to help the product absorb better and control oil.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a simple patch test before your first use.

What does Niacinamide do for oily acne-prone skin?

Niacinamide helps balance oil production, calms redness, and is unlikely to irritate oily, acne-prone skin while improving blemishes. Clinical tests show it reduces excess oil and helps clear up both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne breakouts.

Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024

Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?

This treatment goes in your evening routine, after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing, though some serums can also be used in the morning or twice a day. It is safe for your oily skin and helps keep it calm, but because it lacks ingredients to target blemishes and breakouts, this skin type also needs targeted acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

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

You can use this treatment alongside retinol to help keep your skin comfortable and hydrated while using stronger ingredients. Apply the treatment first to clean skin to provide deep moisture, and follow with your retinol once it is fully absorbed.

Cutis, 2006

How often should I use this serum?

You can use this serum in your evening routine, as treatments fit simply and safely there, though some can also be used in the morning or twice a day.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?

This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause purging for oily acne-prone skin, as it contains soothing ingredients and has a safe profile, though it lacks specific ingredients to target breakouts.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body, as its multiple forms of hyaluronic acid and soothing plant waters provide safe and deep hydration for delicate skin.

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2026

Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
