People Say

★3.5Overall rating based on 3.0k+ reviews

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 does Lovi advise caution with MAËLYS RE-LURE Tight & Tone Body Serum for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because its hydrating formulation may not fully address your oily shine concerns. A product of this type needs lightweight ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide, and pro vitamin B5 to balance oily skin without adding heaviness.

Which ingredients make this body serum a poor fit for oily skin?

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin make this body serum a poor fit because they may not directly address your oily shine concerns. A product for this skin needs ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides, or pro vitamin B5 to deliver lightweight moisture without greasiness.

What does Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid helps keep oily skin well-hydrated without feeling heavy, and it is unlikely to clog pores. This lightweight hydration may help balance skin and improve texture while keeping your skin calm and smooth.

Archives of Dermatological Research, 2024Colloids and Surfaces. B, Biointerfaces, 2022

What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for oily skin?

Aloe vera leaf juice helps hydrate oily skin by increasing water content in the outer skin layer without adding heavy oils or modifying water loss. It is also often combined with treatments to help calm redness and reduce acne breakouts.

Clinical Pharmacology, 2018Skin Research and Technology, 2006

Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This product is a treatment serum, so a routine for oily skin places it in the evening. Oily skin also needs lightweight, oil-absorbing ingredients like silica and mattifying minerals, along with gentle exfoliants to help keep pores clear and manage excess shine.

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

You can use this body serum with retinol, applying the serum first and letting it absorb before putting on your retinol. However, because this product is a poor match for oily skin, an ideal product for this skin type needs oil-absorbing ingredients like silica and lightweight hydration that will not add extra shine or clog pores.

How often should I use it?

You should use caution when applying this body serum on oily skin, as it may not directly address shine concerns. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-absorbing ingredients to help keep your skin balanced and comfortable.

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This body serum contains dimethicone, which may feel a bit heavy and is unlikely to cause purging since it lacks exfoliating acids, but it could potentially clog pores on oily skin. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free formulas with balancing ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to keep pores clear without feeling greasy.

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

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