- A targeted skincare regimen containing active ingredients such as rhodophyceae extract, ergothioneine, and L-carnosine significantly reduced transepidermal water loss by 24.09%, improved skin elasticity, and decreased redness, dryness, and desquamation in thirty-five female Chinese participants over 4 weeks following advanced optimal pulse technology treatment. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40497421/))

([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19146606/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against Shiseido Benefiance NutriPerfect Night Cream for oily skin?

Shiseido Benefiance NutriPerfect Night Cream is a poor match for oily skin because it is a rich moisturizing treatment that may feel too heavy and clog pores. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that control shine without adding excess oils or weight.

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

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it contains heavy oils and rich moisturizing ingredients like Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil and mineral oil. Oily skin needs a product with lightweight hydrating agents and peptides that balance moisture without adding excess oil or clogging pores.

### What does Carnosine do for oily skin?

Carnosine helps oily skin by acting as an antioxidant and reducing inflammation and lipid oxidation that can lead to breakouts and damage. It is unlikely to cause greasiness, but an oily skin routine also needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and gentle clearing ingredients to keep pores clear and smooth.
Sources: [Antioxidants, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34203479/), [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37373157/)

### What does Vitamin B do for oily skin?

Vitamin B helps calm oily skin by balancing oil production and keeping the skin smooth. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve skin texture when used regularly.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16766489/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38299457/)

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

This heavy cream is a poor match for oily skin, as it may feel too thick and clog pores. Oily skin needs a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that keeps skin hydrated without feeling greasy.

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

This heavy moisturizing treatment is a poor match for oily skin and is best avoided to prevent clogged pores and breakouts. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators with ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid that balance oil without adding heavy weight or greasiness.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin and is unlikely to be suitable for your routine. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and balancing ingredients that keep pores clear without adding extra weight.

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

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because its rich texture and oils may clog pores and trigger breakouts. A product for this skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydration with ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid to keep pores clear and skin balanced.

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

This rich night cream is generally too heavy for the very thin skin around the eyes and works better on areas that need deeper moisture. It contains hydrating ingredients like sodium acetylated hyaluronate and plant oils that help soften dry skin.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [Polymers, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37896378/)

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, limonene, linalool, geraniol, and citronellol). Behenyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and cetyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
