Oat

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Oat

Colloidal oat extracts and plantlet extracts soothe skin dryness, scaling, roughness, and itch intensity while enhancing skin barrier function, improving microbiome diversity, and reducing microinflammation. This gentle ingredient suits both dry skin and oily skin best, and it is available in creams, exfoliators, cleansers, and toners. Because it layers easily, oat integrates smoothly into any daily skincare routine.
