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

Brand: [MAËLYS](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/brands/maelys)

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

- Offers moderate firming and tightening for your oily skin due to Chondrus Crispus and Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, which enhance barrier resilience, though these ingredients do not directly address your primary concerns of acne and breakouts.
- The inclusion of Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin provides general hydration benefits that are supportive but not targeted for your specific skin issues.

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, users frequently report that this serum helps improve skin texture, firmness, and hydration, particularly for concerns like loose skin, stretch marks, and cellulite. While many appreciate the lightweight, non-greasy feel and pleasant scent, results are often described as temporary, requiring consistent, long-term use to maintain the visible tightening and smoothing effects. This should definitely be taken into account.

## Questions and answers

### Why is MAËLYS RE-LURE a weak match for oily acne-prone skin?

This body serum is a weak match because it focuses mainly on firming rather than tackling your breakouts and oily skin. For a better fit, oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients like niacinamide or low molecular weight hyaluronic acid that balance oil and manage blemishes without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
Sources: [Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35775872/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This body serum is a weak match for oily acne-prone skin because its firming and general hydrating ingredients, such as Chondrus Crispus, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, do not directly target breakouts and blemishes. A product of this type needs ingredients like Niacinamide and ceramides that balance oil and manage acne without clogging pores or feeling heavy.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35775872/)

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

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid helps hydrate oily acne-prone skin without clogging pores, keeping it soft and smooth. It is generally well tolerated and unlikely to cause irritation when used daily.
Sources: [Archives of Dermatological Research, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38829483/), [Colloids and Surfaces. B, Biointerfaces, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36279763/)

### What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for oily acne-prone skin?

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice helps calm redness and reduces acne breakouts for oily skin. Studies show it effectively targets acne lesions and lowers redness when used regularly.
Sources: [Clinical Pharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588129/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23336746/)

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

This serum fits poorly for your oily acne-prone skin because it focuses on general hydration and firmness rather than targeting breakouts. Oily acne-prone skin needs products with clarifying and blemish-fighting ingredients to properly manage breakouts.

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

This body serum is a weak match for your oily acne-prone skin, as it lacks targeted ingredients for breakouts and relies instead on general hydration and firming agents like glycerin and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid. When combining body products of this type with retinol, apply the retinol first on clean, dry skin, and follow with the serum once it has fully absorbed to help keep your skin soft. Oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-clogging formulas with acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or niacinamide to help clear blemishes and prevent clogged pores.

### How often should I use this serum?

This product is a weak match for your oily acne-prone skin because it focuses on firming and general hydration rather than addressing breakouts. Oily acne-prone skin needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help clear blemishes and control oil.

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

This serum may not be the best fit for oily acne-prone skin because it focuses on general hydration and firming rather than tackling breakouts and clogged pores directly. To properly care for this skin type, a product needs ingredients that balance oil and keep pores clear.

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum and limonene).
