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

Brand: [Clarins](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/clarins)

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

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

## Why this fit

- This cream offers moderate firming and plumping benefits for the neck and décolleté due to Anigozanthos Flavidus Extract and Mitracarpus Scaber Extract, but the rich emollients like Shea Butter and Coconut Oil may not adequately address your oily skin and acne concerns.
- While oat kernel extract and sunflower seed oil provide soothing and hydration, the formula's primary function is not aligned with your goals of managing acne, blemishes, and breakouts.

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, users consistently praise this cream for its luxurious, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly, leaving the delicate neck and décolleté area feeling immediately smoother and more hydrated. While many report visible improvements in skin firmness and a reduction in "crepey" texture over time, a minority of users feel the high price point is not justified by the subtle results.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Clarins Extra-Firming Neck & Décolleté Cream for oily acne-prone skin?

This cream is a poor match because its rich shea butter and coconut oil may not address your oily skin and acne concerns. Oily acne-prone skin needs products with lightweight hydration and ingredients that clear breakouts without clogging pores.

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

This cream is a poor match because ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil are too rich and heavy for oily skin prone to breakouts. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight hydration, oil-controlling ingredients, and pore-clearing agents to stay clear and balanced.

### What does Kangaroo Flower Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?

This type of ingredient helps balance oil production and keeps pores clear for oily and acne-prone skin. Skincare for this skin type needs sebum-normalizing extracts and anti-inflammatory ingredients to keep the face smooth and calm.

### What does Butyrospermum Parkii Butter do for oily acne-prone skin?

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter helps protect the skin barrier, but because it is quite heavy, it may feel too rich for oily acne-prone skin. Skin of this type usually needs lighter, balancing ingredients like natural plant oils with a higher linoleic acid to oleic acid ratio that help keep pores clear and smooth.
Sources: [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28707186/)

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

This cream is not a good fit for oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil may clog pores and trigger breakouts. Oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, oil-free moisturizers with balancing and clarifying ingredients that hydrate without adding excess oil.

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

This cream is a poor match for your oily acne-prone skin, as rich ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil may clog pores and trigger breakouts. Oily and acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-greasy lotions with soothing and blemish-clearing ingredients rather than heavy firming creams. If you still choose to use it with your retinol, apply the retinol first to clean skin, let it absorb, and follow with this cream.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for your oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil may clog pores and worsen breakouts. Oily and acne-prone skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and targeted blemish-clearing ingredients to stay clear and balanced.

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

This cream is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin because rich ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil may clog pores and trigger breakouts. Oily and acne-prone skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators and ingredients that help clear blemishes without adding heavy oils.

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

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