The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Italy.

Brand: [Aveeno](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/aveeno)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A poor match for oily skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Low suitability for oily skin due to the presence of petrolatum and shea butter, which can feel heavy and potentially clog pores, despite oat kernel flour and extract offering soothing benefits.
- While glycerin and oat kernel extract provide excellent hydration and barrier support, the formula lacks targeted ingredients to address your oily shine concerns.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because petrolatum and shea butter can feel heavy and clog pores on oily skin. A body lotion for this skin needs lightweight texture, peptides, and ingredients that manage oily shine without heavy oils.

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

Petrolatum and shea butter make this body lotion a poor fit for oily skin because they can feel heavy and may clog pores. An oily skin type needs a body lotion with lightweight hydrating agents and no heavy oils to keep the skin balanced without extra shine.

### What does Dimethicone do for oily skin?

Dimethicone helps protect skin and lock in moisture, though it may have limited performance compared to petrolatum. For oily skin, a product of this type needs a lightweight, oil-free formula that hydrates without clogging pores.
Sources: [Ostomy/wound Management, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16439809/)

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

This body lotion is a poor match for oily skin because ingredients like petrolatum and shea butter can feel heavy and potentially clog pores. Oily skin needs lightweight lotions with oil-free or balancing ingredients that provide hydration without adding extra shine.

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

You can use this body lotion with retinol, applying the lotion after your retinol has fully absorbed to help keep your skin comfortable and protected. This type of product needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil to keep oily skin clear and shine-free.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this body lotion?

This body lotion is a poor match for oily skin because petrolatum and shea butter can feel heavy and potentially clog pores, even though it offers soothing oat ingredients and good hydration. Oily skin needs a lightweight moisturizer with oil-controlling or balancing ingredients that keep pores clear while maintaining hydration.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27272074/)

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

This lotion has a low suitability for oily skin because ingredients like petrolatum and shea butter can feel heavy and may clog pores. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that help balance excess shine without heavy oils.

### Is this body lotion fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol). Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
