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 moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin due to beef tallow and honey, which hydrate and smooth texture, but these ingredients may also clog pores and worsen acne.
- The presence of coconut oil and almond oil can exacerbate oiliness and breakouts, making the formula less suitable for your primary concerns.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Evil Goods Whipped Tallow Honey Balm for oily acne-prone skin?

Lovi advises caution because beef tallow, coconut oil, and almond oil may clog your pores and worsen breakouts on oily skin. Oily and acne-prone skin needs lightweight, oil-free moisturizers with peptides and barrier-supporting ingredients that hydrate without adding excess oil.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25319767/)

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

Coconut oil, almond oil, beef tallow, and beeswax make this cream a poor fit because they may clog pores and add excess oil to acne-prone skin. A moisturizer for this skin needs lightweight hydrating ingredients and peptides that support the skin barrier without heavy oils.

### What does Beef Tallow do for oily acne-prone skin?

Beef tallow is generally too heavy and rich for oily, acne-prone skin, as it can easily clog pores and make breakouts worse. A product for this skin type needs lightweight, non-greasy ingredients that balance moisture without adding extra oil.

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

Honey helps calm oily acne-prone skin and may fight breakout-causing bacteria. It acts as a gentle, safe option that is unlikely to cause irritation while keeping the skin balanced.
Sources: [Current Microbiology, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41963586/), [International Journal of Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38013499/)

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

This cream is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like tallow and coconut oil may clog pores and worsen breakouts. To properly care for this skin type, a moisturizer needs lightweight, non-clogging ingredients that hydrate without adding excess oil.

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

This cream is a poor match for your oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like coconut oil and tallow may clog pores and worsen breakouts. If you still choose to use it with retinol, apply your retinol first to clean skin and let it absorb completely before gently patting on a very thin layer of the cream. Oily and acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-clogging moisturizers containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or niacinamide to hydrate without blocking pores.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for your oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like tallow and coconut oil may clog pores and worsen breakouts. If you still choose to use it, limit application to once a day or a few times a week to minimize pore clogging, and look for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide instead.

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

Yes, this cream can clog pores and worsen breakouts on oily skin because ingredients like coconut oil, beef tallow, and almond oil are heavy and likely to trap oil. A moisturizer for this skin type needs to be oil-free, lightweight, and non-clogging to keep pores clear.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25319767/)

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

You can use this moisturizer on your body, but you should use caution around your eyes since the skin there is much thinner. The rich ingredients help soften and smooth dry body skin, though heavy ingredients like beef tallow and coconut oil may clog pores.
