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

Brand: [Sol de Janeiro](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/sol-de-janeiro)

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

## Why this fit

- This formulation offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as ingredients like Caprylic Capric Triglyceride and Shea Butter provide emollient action, but it lacks targeted ingredients for acne and breakouts. Coconut oil and shea butter, while hydrating, can be occlusive and potentially clog pores on oily or acne-prone skin.
- The product provides excellent moisturizing for body care, hydrating and smoothing skin texture with shea butter and coconut oil.

## Key ingredients

Caryodendron Orinocense Oil, Plant Collagen, Squalane, Collagen Amino Acids, Retinol-Mimicking

## What the research says

- Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization. ([Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/))
- Caryodendron orinocense oil exhibited good emollient efficiency, activity, and stability in cosmetic formulations due to the presence of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta-tocopherols. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18503421/))
- 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/))

## Why other products fit oily acne-prone skin better

- Co-delivery of paeonol and madecassoside via nanoemulsions improved transdermal delivery, promoted barrier repair proteins, inhibited inflammatory cytokine secretion in cellular and 3D models, and reduced transepidermal water loss and acne in human facial skin compared to free components. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/))
- 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/))
- A facial serum containing snail secretion filtrate, Calendula officinalis, and Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract significantly reduced inflammatory acne lesions compared to placebo in 66 participants with mild-to-moderate maskne over 12 weeks. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35763437/))

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, users consistently praise this cream for its ability to deeply hydrate and smooth rough skin texture, often noting visible improvements in skin bounce and softness. The fruity-floral scent is a major selling point for many, though it is occasionally cited as overpowering or a migraine trigger for some. Some users also find the price point high and the thick formula difficult to apply.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Cream a weak match for oily acne-prone skin?

This cream is a weak match because it contains rich ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter that can clog pores and trap oil. Oily, acne-prone skin needs lightweight hydration and targeted ingredients that help clear blemishes without adding heavy oils.

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

Coconut oil and shea butter make this cream a weak match for oily skin because they are heavy and may clog pores. An oily, acne-prone body care product needs lightweight, non-clogging hydrators and ingredients that actively target breakouts.

### What does Caryodendron Orinocense Seed Oil do for oily acne-prone skin?

Caryodendron Orinocense Seed Oil helps moisturize oily acne-prone skin without feeling heavy or greasy, leaving the face soft and smooth. It is unlikely to clog pores and may help calm irritation while supporting the skin barrier.

### What does Plant Collagen do for oily acne-prone skin?

Plant collagen helps keep oily acne-prone skin feeling smooth and balanced while supporting a healthy skin barrier. Because it is lightweight, it is unlikely to clog pores and may help calm stressed areas.
Sources: [Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40864795/)

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

This cream is a weak match for your oily, acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter may clog pores, though they do moisturize well. A body care product for this skin type needs lightweight, non-clogging hydrators and ingredients that help clear breakouts.

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

This cream may not be the best fit for your oily, acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter can block pores and trigger breakouts. If you still want to use it with retinol, apply the retinol first, let it absorb, and then follow with this cream to help lock in moisture. For an oily, acne-prone routine, this skin type needs lightweight, non-blocking hydrators and targeted ingredients that help clear blemishes.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a weak fit for your oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter may clog pores. To care for this skin type properly, a body product needs lightweight, oil-balancing hydrators and ingredients that help keep breakouts under control.

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

This cream may clog pores and cause breakouts on oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter can trap oil and block pores. An oily acne-prone skin needs a body care product with lightweight, non-pore-clogging hydrators and ingredients that help clear breakouts.

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

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