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.

Works for oily skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin, as glycerin and squalane provide hydration and enhance barrier resilience without exacerbating oiliness.
- While the formula offers general skincare benefits, its primary function of hydration is not directly targeted at managing oily shine.

## Key ingredients

Bakuchiol, Glycerin, Caprylic Capric Triglyceride

## 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 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/))
- 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/))
- A dermocosmetic containing bakuchiol, Ginkgo biloba extract, and mannitol improves inflammatory lesions, Investigator Global Assessment, and seborrhea intensity when added to adapalene 0.1% gel in patients with acne vulgaris. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25914553/))
- Topical application of a serum containing supramolecular Bakuchiol and Terminalia chebula extract significantly improved barrier function, reduced redness and sensitivity, and improved wrinkles and elasticity in 34 Chinese subjects with sensitive skin after 28 days. ([Health Science Reports, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41424674/))
- 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/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))

## 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/))
- Gluconolactone chemical peels lower skin pH and transepidermal water loss while demonstrating seboregulatory properties in 16 female subjects. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37335807/))
- Combining 10% gluconolactone chemical peeling with oxybrasion or microneedle mesotherapy increased skin hydration and decreased sebum, pH, and TEWL in twenty-one Caucasian women, with no significant differences between the two methods. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37357656/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does Beekman Dream Booster work for oily skin?

Beekman Dream Booster works moderately well for oily skin by providing hydration without making it overly greasy. However, it does not actively manage oily shine, so a product for this skin type needs ingredients like hyaluronic acid for lightweight moisture, Niacinamide to help control oil, and soothing additions like Allantoin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this treatment a good fit for oily skin?

Glycerin and squalane make this treatment a fit for oily skin by providing hydration and enhancing barrier strength without making skin too oily. However, a product for oily skin also needs ingredients like hyaluronic acid for balanced moisture, niacinamide to control oil and pores, and allantoin to calm the skin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Bakuchiol do for oily skin?

Bakuchiol helps balance oily skin by regulating sebum production and reducing inflammation with a very low likelihood of irritation. This type of skin needs ingredients that provide antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits to help control breakouts and keep pores clear.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27621660/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36176207/)

### What does Glycerin do for oily skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy and supports the skin barrier. Because this product is a weak fit for your skin, an ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil while protecting the skin.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [International Journal of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31840548/)

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

This treatment goes in the evening routine before your moisturizer, as treatments with actives are typically placed at night for simplicity and safety around sun exposure. It provides moderate hydration with glycerin and squalane without making your skin oily, but because it does not manage shine, an oily skin routine also needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients and targeted blemish-control actives.

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

You can use this treatment with retinol by applying the treatment after your retinol to help keep your skin comfortable and hydrated. Using a gentle moisturizer alongside retinoids may reduce common skin irritations like dryness and flaking while supporting your skin barrier.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this treatment?

Use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. Daily application helps provide moderate moisture and keeps your skin comfortable without making it too oily.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This treatment is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts, as reviewers rarely report breakouts or purging from it. A product of this type for oily skin needs ingredients that provide hydration without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body, as its gentle ingredients like glycerin and squalane hydrate safely across different skin thicknesses. However, because oily skin needs targeted oil control rather than just general moisture, body or eye care for this skin type often benefits from lightweight, balancing ingredients that help keep excess shine in check.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

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