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

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

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

- Offers moderate benefits for oily shine on your oily skin due to retinol and lactic acid promoting cell turnover and exfoliation, but these ingredients may pose risks of irritation.
- Retinol offers keratolytic action for your oily skin, but the formula lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients to fully address excess oil.

## What the research says

- Topical 0.4% retinol significantly increased epidermal thickness, dermal vascularity, and extracellular matrix production by stimulating keratinocyte proliferation, endothelial cell proliferation, and fibroblast activation in naturally aged human skin compared to vehicle. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27261203/))
- Topical bakuchiol 0.5% applied twice daily compared with retinol 0.5% applied daily significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation with no statistical difference between the compounds in 44 patients over 12 weeks, while retinol users reported more facial skin scaling and stinging. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/))
- Silicone particles encapsulating retinol increased its half-life by 9-fold and yielded 12-23% lower skin irritation in human subjects compared to Microsponge particles while maintaining biological activity. ([Journal of Controlled Release, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29604311/))
- Squalane at 0.005-0.015% counteracts UVA-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen metabolism inhibition while stimulating fibroblast migration in human dermal fibroblasts. ([Molecules, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40363772/))
- Plant-derived squalane protected human dermal fibroblasts against UVA-induced damage by counteracting ROS formation, suppressing apoptosis-related proteins p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and PARP, and restoring the pro-survival p-Akt/mTOR pathway. ([Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40722956/))
- A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events. ([Lasers in Medical Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41134387/))
- A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39528438/))
- Daily application of a cream containing niosomes loaded with purple glutinous rice extract in 20 human volunteers for 28 days resulted in a significant decrease in melanin index and skin roughness by -14.05% and -9.95%, and increases in skin hydration and elastic recovery by +48.73% and +35.98% compared to initial values. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32812663/))
- The iontophoretic delivery of hyaluronic acid nanogel-loaded Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate significantly reduced advanced glycation end products and mitigated skin stiffening in an ex vivo skin tissue glycation model. ([International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40989892/))
- Red rice extract suppressed UVB-induced inflammation and skin aging in human skin fibroblasts by inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway, leading to decreased NF-kappa B and AP-1 activation, reduced ECM degradation, and increased ECM synthesis compared to UVB-irradiated controls. ([Natural Product Communications, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30508356/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with cocokind Retinol Body Cream for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because this lotion may cause irritation on oily skin while lacking enough oil-controlling ingredients. Body lotions for oily skin need lightweight hydrating ingredients, peptides, and barrier-supporting components that manage shine without heavy oils or clogging pores.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

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

Retinol and lactic acid make this cream a poor fit because they may cause irritation on oily skin while lacking enough oil-controlling ingredients. Oily skin needs a body lotion with peptides, lightweight hydrating agents, and barrier-supporting ingredients that manage moisture without heavy oils or breakouts.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

### What does retinol do for oily skin?

Retinol helps keep oily skin clear by maintaining healthy skin cell growth and controlling pore activity. This ingredient is unlikely to stop oil production entirely, so oily skin usually needs extra ingredients that soak up excess oil and keep pores clear.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27261203/), [Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21914489/)

### What do ceramides do for oily skin?

Ceramides help keep oily skin balanced by strengthening the skin barrier and locking in moisture without feeling heavy. Products of this type for oily skin need lightweight hydrators and ingredients that help control excess oil while maintaining skin health.
Sources: [International Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18717861/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17147561/)

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

This cream is a poor match for oily skin and calls for caution because its rich formula lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients, meaning an oily routine needs a lightweight lotion with oil-balancing ingredients like niacinamide.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31461548/)

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

Using this cream with another exfoliating acid is not recommended because combining multiple strong treatments on oily skin can easily cause irritation, stinging, and dryness. To safely manage oily skin, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients and oil-balancing agents that calm the skin and control excess shine without overloading it.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for your oily skin, as it may cause irritation while lacking enough oil-controlling ingredients. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight lotions with oil-balancing ingredients and gentle hydrators to stay comfortable.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores, but the retinol inside may cause minor purging or irritation as it speeds up skin cell renewal on oily skin. To work well for this skin type, a product needs oil-balancing ingredients and lightweight hydrators that keep pores clear without feeling heavy.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
