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.

Works for oily acne-prone skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin due to the presence of niacinamide for seboregulation, but lacks sufficient specialized ingredients like salicylic acid or retinoids to effectively address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The serum provides excellent moisturizing and plumping benefits with squalane and sodium hyaluronate, which are beneficial for general skin hydration but do not target your primary concerns.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing agents like Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate.

## Questions and answers

### How well does the That JLo Glow Serum work for oily acne-prone skin?

This serum works moderately well for oily skin, helping keep oil in check while giving good hydration, but it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid to properly clear up breakouts. Oily acne-prone skin needs a product that specifically targets blemishes and balances oil with lightweight, non-clogging ingredients like niacinamide and salicylic acid.
Sources: [Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34198790/)

### Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for oily acne-prone skin?

Niacinamide and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate make this serum a fit by helping control oil and soothe your skin. A product of this type needs specialized ingredients like salicylic acid or retinoids, along with lightweight hydrators that do not clog pores, to properly address acne and breakouts on oily skin.
Sources: [Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34198790/)

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

Niacinamide helps balance oil production, calms redness, and is unlikely to irritate oily, acne-prone skin while improving blemishes. Clinical tests show it reduces excess oil and helps clear up both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne breakouts.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16766489/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38299457/)

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

Squalane may help keep oily skin soft and smooth, but oxidized squalene can trigger inflammation in acne-prone skin. Because of this, oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-greasy ingredients that balance moisture without clogging pores.
Sources: [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16778793/)

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

This serum fits into the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though some serums can also be used in the morning or twice a day. This product works for your skin, but an oily acne-prone skin type needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or retinoids to properly address acne, blemishes, and breakouts.

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

You can use this serum with retinol by applying the serum first to hydrate your skin and then following with retinol. This routine helps keep your skin smooth and calm while you use stronger treatments.

### How often should I use this serum?

You can use this serum in the evening as part of your routine, or twice a day if your skin tolerates it well. It is very unlikely to cause irritation for your oily skin, though an oily acne-prone skin type needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or retinoids to properly address breakouts.

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

This serum is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on oily skin because it has a very safe formula with soothing ingredients, though it lacks specialized blemish-fighting ingredients. A product for this skin needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or retinoids to properly clear up acne and breakouts.
Sources: [Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34198790/)

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

This serum is safe to use around the eyes, but keep in mind that the skin there is very thin and requires targeted care like the other facial areas. While it provides good moisture, a product of this type needs specialized ingredients like low molecular weight heparan sulfate or plant extracts to properly care for the delicate eye area.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30636356/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
