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

Brand: [Alpha Skin Care](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/brands/alpha-skin-care)

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

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin and acne concerns due to glycolic acid's keratolytic action, which promotes skin renewal and helps clear blemishes.
- While glycolic acid addresses oiliness and breakouts, the formula lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients for optimal results on oily skin.

## What the research says

- Repeated short-contact 70% glycolic acid peels provided superior results in atrophic acne scars compared to daily low-strength glycolic acid cream or placebo in 58 women over 24 weeks. ([International Journal of Dermatology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11095203/))
- Serial glycolic acid peels combined with a modified Kligman formula significantly reduced facial PIH severity in Indian patients compared to the modified Kligman formula alone. ([Dermatologic Surgery, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28114204/))
- 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/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Wearing an N95 mask alone compared to using dimethicone cream or hydrocolloid dressing caused more adverse skin reactions among 73 military health care workers, with no significant differences in fit test failure rates between groups. ([Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/))
- A dimethicone skin protectant lotion significantly decreased visual scoring and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control and SLS-only treated sites in 12 healthy humans exposed to sodium lauryl sulfate. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11428946/))
- Treatment with a moisturizer containing dimethicone and glycerine increased epidermal thickness by 0.019 mm, improved barrier function by decreasing transepidermal water loss by 13%, decreased melanin intensity, and induced keratins 6 and 16 in fifteen women with moderately photoaged forearms. ([Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/))
- Topical treatment with skin-identical lipids in a petrolatum-rich cream base showed no superiority over pure petrolatum in promoting normalization of barrier recovery and inflammation in detergent- and tape-stripped-perturbed human skin over 14 days. ([Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11243632/))
- Topically applied extra virgin olive oil and petrolatum both significantly improved skin barrier function and microtopographic features in 54 healthy adult volunteers, with petrolatum exerting stronger occlusive effects and extra virgin olive oil uniquely promoting epidermal renewal. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40649050/))
- Repeated application of concentrated water-in-oil emulsions over four weeks caused no skin irritation, positively affected skin properties, and delivered almost 50% of the applied fluorescein sodium, with isopropyl myristate showing superior penetration performance compared to liquid paraffin in healthy volunteers. ([International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31525444/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Alpha Skin Care Renewal Body Lotion for oily acne-prone skin?

Lovi advises caution because, while this lotion offers moderate exfoliation for breakouts, it lacks sufficient oil-controlling ingredients for optimal results on oily skin. A product for this skin needs oil-regulating ingredients and lightweight, non-pore-clogging hydration to manage shine and breakouts.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30858720/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30548170/)

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

This exfoliant is a poor fit for oily acne-prone skin because the heavy oils like petrolatum and mineral oil can clog pores and worsen oiliness, even though the glycolic acid helps clear breakouts. A body scrub for this skin needs oil-controlling ingredients and lightweight hydrators that keep pores clear without adding extra shine.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30858720/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30548170/)

### What does Glycolic Acid do for oily acne-prone skin?

Glycolic acid helps clear breakouts and smooth oily skin by exfoliating dead surface cells. It may reduce both inflamed and non-inflamed blemishes when used regularly, though a product of this type also needs soothing ingredients like niacinamide or ceramides to keep skin calm and comfortable.
Sources: [Dermatologic Surgery, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24447110/), [Dermatologic Surgery, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18053051/)

### What does Glycerin do for oily acne-prone skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily acne-prone skin hydrated without feeling heavy. It draws moisture into the skin while supporting the skin barrier so it stays soft and balanced.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This product is a poor match for your oily acne-prone skin, as it lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients to manage breakouts effectively. To work well for this skin type, a product of this type needs added oil-regulating ingredients.

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

Using this lotion with retinol is likely to cause irritation on oily acne-prone skin, so it is best to avoid combining them in the same routine. A product of this type needs soothing and oil-controlling ingredients to manage breakouts without overwhelming the skin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30858720/)

### How often should I use this exfoliant?

Start using this exfoliant just once a week to see how your skin reacts, as this product is a poor match for your oily acne-prone skin. If your skin handles it well, you may carefully use it more often. To truly manage oil and breakouts, this skin type needs a formula with extra oil-controlling ingredients.

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

This lotion may help clear blemishes with glycolic acid, but it is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin because it lacks oil-controlling ingredients. A product of this type needs ingredients that balance oil and lightweight hydrators to truly work for this skin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30858720/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30548170/)

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

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