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

Brand: [Revision Skincare](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/revision-skincare)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/best/moisturizers)

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 weak match for oily skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for oily skin due to the humectant action of glycerin and butylene glycol, which hydrate without exacerbating oiliness, though it lacks stronger ingredients for comprehensive oil control.
- The formula provides excellent moisturizing benefits with glycerin and porphyridium polysaccharide, which hydrate and plump the skin, but these functions are not directly targeted at your primary concern of oily shine.

## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Topical application of 5% vitamin C cream significantly improved global clinical scores, increased skin microrelief density, and induced elastic tissue repair in photoaged skin compared to excipient control in healthy female volunteers. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12823436/))
- Ascorbic acid 2-glucoside gel significantly reduced gingival melanin pigmentation after 4 weeks compared to placebo in 73 subjects with symmetric pigmentation. ([Journal of Periodontology, 2009](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19186973/))
- Topical application of VC-IP cream twice daily for 8 weeks reduces periorbital wrinkles in female subjects compared to a placebo cream. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34910367/))
- 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/))
- Topical green tea extract significantly improved clinical symptoms, tear breakup times, and meibomian gland health compared to standard treatment in patients with dry eye and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. ([Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28384900/))
- Topical low-dose green tea extract reduces UVB-induced p53 expression and apoptosis in human skin keratinocytes compared to placebo. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2009](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18631247/))
- An anti-acne hydrogel containing Aloe barbadensis, Garcinia mangostana, and Camellia sinensis extracts showed superior antiacne and antiblotch activities compared to 1% clindamycin gel in sixty subjects with mild-moderate acne. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31239743/))

## Why other moisturizers fit oily skin better

- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38366684/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Revision Skincare Nectifirm Advanced a weak match for oily skin?

Revision Skincare Nectifirm Advanced is a weak match for oily skin because, while it provides basic hydration with glycerin and butylene glycol, it lacks stronger ingredients specifically targeted at comprehensive oil control. Oily skin needs a product that features lightweight hydration, soothing ingredients, and components that manage excess shine without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks stronger ingredients for comprehensive oil control and targets hydration rather than oily shine. Oily skin needs a moisturizing treatment with lightweight textures, ingredients that support the skin barrier without heavy oils, and components that actively manage excess oil and shine.

### What does Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 do for oily skin?

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 helps firm oily skin and smooth the look of lines without clogging pores or adding extra shine. It supports skin structure so your face stays smooth and bouncy over time.

### What does Vitamin C do for oily skin?

Vitamin C helps oily skin by fighting oil oxidation and calming redness, making it a useful addition to your daily routine. Formulas with vitamin C keep skin balanced without clogging pores.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18492184/), [European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28385617/)

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

This cream is applied in the evening as a moisturizing treatment after cleansing and toning. Because this is a weak match for oily skin, an ideal product of this type for this skin needs lightweight hydrators and stronger oil-control ingredients.

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

You can use this treatment with retinol by applying it before your retinol product to help keep skin comfortable. A moisturizer used this way may reduce irritation while allowing the retinol to work effectively. Oily skin of this type needs targeted oil-control ingredients and balancing agents to properly manage shine.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks stronger ingredients for comprehensive oil control. To manage oily skin well, a product of this type needs oil-absorbing and sebum-regulating ingredients to keep shine under control.

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

This product is a weak match for oily skin because its rich formula focuses on heavy moisturizing rather than controlling shine. To better suit oily skin, a product of this type needs lightweight ingredients that hydrate without feeling heavy or greasy.

### Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?

This moisturizing treatment is well suited for the very thin skin around the eyes and body areas thanks to its gentle hydrating ingredients. Because oily skin needs lighter hydration, a product of this type for oily skin needs oil-absorbing minerals and lightweight balancing extracts to keep shine under control.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum). Cetearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
