Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin due to glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which hydrate effectively, while niacinamide provides some seboregulation. This combination offers general skincare benefits but lacks specialized ingredients for optimal oil control.
- The formula is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation from harsh or prohibited ingredients.
- It provides moderate suitability for oily skin, addressing hydration and offering some oil control through niacinamide, but could be enhanced with more potent ingredients for comprehensive oil management.
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
How well does No.7 Future Renew work for oily skin?
No.7 Future Renew Night Cream works moderately well for oily skin, providing basic hydration and some oil control while keeping your skin safe from irritation. To be a better fit for this skin, a moisturizing treatment needs lightweight textures, no heavy oils, and ingredients that manage oil and support the skin barrier without clogging pores.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2021
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily skin?
Niacinamide, glycerin, and sodium hyaluronate make this cream a fit for oily skin by providing oil control and hydration without irritation. However, oily skin needs a product with specialized oil control ingredients, a lightweight texture free of heavy oils, and ingredients that support the skin barrier without clogging pores.
What does Niacinamide do for oily skin?
Niacinamide helps balance oily skin by significantly reducing excess oil production and shine. It is well tolerated and may improve skin texture without clogging pores.
Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006Antioxidants, 2021
What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?
Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.
Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after your cleansing toner and before your moisturizer. It is safe for oily skin and provides moderate hydration with some oil control, though oily skin works best with products featuring specialized oil-balancing ingredients.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream at night after your retinol, and it is safe and unlikely to irritate your skin. A product for oily skin used with retinol needs stronger oil-controlling ingredients and lightweight hydrators to keep your skin clear and balanced.
How often should I use it?
You can use this moisturizing treatment nightly as part of your evening routine. It is safe for oily skin and unlikely to cause irritation, though oily skin of this type needs specialized ingredients for optimal oil control.
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily skin, as its ingredients have a safe profile with a low risk of irritation. Oily skin works best with lightweight hydrators and targeted oil-control ingredients that manage shine without heavy residues.
Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?
This moisturizing treatment is safe to use around the eyes and on the body, though the skin on the body and the thin skin around the eyes have different thicknesses. While it provides good general hydration, this skin needs targeted ingredients like low molecular weight heparan sulfate or specialized botanical extracts to properly address specific concerns in those delicate areas.
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum). Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
