Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin due to aloe barbadensis leaf juice, which provides hydration without exacerbating oiliness.
- While the formula offers general skincare benefits, it does not directly address your primary concern of oily shine.
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.
Questions and answers
Why does Lovi advise caution with Aloderma Organic Aloe Vera Gel for oily skin?
Lovi advises caution because this moisturizer does not directly address your primary concern of oily shine. A better match for your oily skin needs a lightweight texture with peptides, hydrating agents, and ingredients that support the skin barrier without heavy oils.
Which ingredients make this moisturizer a poor fit for oily skin?
This moisturizer is a poor fit for oily skin because it lacks peptides and ingredients that manage oily shine. A moisturizer for this skin needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that support the skin barrier without heavy oils.
What does Aloe Vera Juice do for oily skin?
Aloe vera juice helps calm oily skin by reducing redness and soothing blemishes without adding heavy oils. This ingredient supports clearer skin by easing irritation and keeping breakouts under control.
Clinical Pharmacology, 2018The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2014
What does Carbomer do for oily skin?
Carbomer helps create lightweight gel formulas that feel comfortable on oily skin without clogging pores or causing irritation. It allows products to spread smoothly while maintaining a safe, gentle profile for daily use.
Where does this moisturizer go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This moisturizer goes in your morning and evening routines after cleansing and toning, though it is only a poor match because it does not directly address oily shine. An oily skin routine needs a lightweight moisturizer that controls excess oil and shine using ingredients like niacinamide.
Can I use this moisturizer with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizer with retinol, but it is a poor match for oily skin because it does not help reduce oily shine. Oily skin needs a moisturizer that manages excess oil and helps balance shine.
How often should I use this moisturizer?
You should use this moisturizer as part of your morning and evening routine, though it requires caution since it does not directly control oily shine.
Can this moisturizer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This moisturizer is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts because its aloe juice hydrates oily skin without adding heavy oils. However, since it does not directly control oily shine, this skin type needs a gel formula with oil-absorbing ingredients and gentle exfoliants to stay clear and matte.
Can I use this moisturizer around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizer on your body and around the eyes, because these areas have very thin skin that benefits from light hydration. The aloe and simple gel texture suit these regions well and are unlikely to cause heavy build-up.
What the research says
A cream combining propolis, tea tree oil, and Aloe vera reduced erythema scars, acne severity index, and total lesion count better than erythromycin cream in sixty patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris compared to placebo.
Clinical Pharmacology, 2018Topical aloe vera gel significantly accelerated split-thickness skin graft donor-site healing compared to placebo in 12 patients, but showed no significant difference in pain relief.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2018Topical application of Aloe vera cream reduced postoperative pain at rest and during defecation, accelerated wound healing at two weeks, and decreased analgesic requirements in patients after open hemorrhoidectomy compared to placebo.
Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2010Topical chloramphenicol-betamethasone combined with sodium hyaluronate/trehalose/carbomer gel compared to chloramphenicol-betamethasone alone reduced most subjective symptoms at 1 week but increased blurred vision at 4 weeks following strabismus surgery in 31 patients, with no significant differences in conjunctival inflammation between treatments.
Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2019Incorporating nanoemulsions into hydrogels with increasing Carbopol 934 proportions from 1% to 3% progressively decreased the percutaneous flux rates of terbinafine and citral, increased drug accumulation in the stratum corneum while decreasing it in the epidermis/dermis compared to nanoemulsions alone, and shifted delivery routes from skin appendages to intercellular paths.

Journal of Ginseng Research, 2022Sensory skin irritation potential of 1,2-alkanediols increased with alkane chain length, whereas 1,2-hexanediol showed the lowest objective skin irritation potential compared to both shorter and longer chain lengths, and percutaneous absorption negatively correlated with alkane chain length.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2011Topical 2% tea lotion significantly decreased inflammatory lesions and was superior to 5% zinc sulphate solution in patients with acne vulgaris.
