Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for oily skin due to squalane and glycerin providing emollient and humectant actions, but lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control to address your oily shine.
- The product provides excellent hydration with multiple forms of hyaluronic acid, which is beneficial for overall skin health, though not directly targeting oiliness.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine every day to keep your face fresh.
- Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and toning, but right before your SPF in the morning.
- Gently press a small amount into your skin and let it absorb fully.
- Apply on clean, slightly dry skin to help control that oily shine.
- Avoid the eye area and do a quick patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers
How well does Hada Labo Gokujyun Perfect Gel work for oily skin?
This product works decently for oily skin by giving it plenty of moisture without causing irritation, though it lacks strong ingredients to control extra shine. To fit oily skin best, a product needs lightweight hydrating agents and peptides that manage excess oil while keeping the skin barrier healthy and free of heavy oils.
Which ingredients make this moisturizer a good fit for oily skin?
Sodium Hyaluronate, squalane, ceramide, and glycerin make this moisturizer a good fit for oily skin by providing essential hydration and keeping skin soft. To work best for oily skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that control oil and maintain a lightweight texture without heavy oils.
What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?
Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.
What does Squalane do for oily skin?
Squalane helps keep oily skin soft and smooth without feeling heavy, though oxidized forms may sometimes trigger irritation. To work well for oily skin, this type of product needs lightweight, non-clogging ingredients that balance moisture without adding excess grease.
Where does this moisturizer go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This moisturizer works for oily skin as an average fit, providing good hydration with multiple forms of hyaluronic acid while lacking strong oil control. To best care for oily skin, a moisturizer of this type needs added oil-absorbing or balancing ingredients to manage unwanted shine.
Can I use this moisturizer with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizer with retinol to help keep your skin comfortable and reduce dryness. Apply your retinol first, let it absorb, and then smooth on the moisturizer. To work best for oily skin, this type of product also needs targeted oil-control ingredients to help manage shine.
How often should I use this moisturizer?
You can use this moisturizer daily in your morning and evening routines to keep your skin hydrated. It is unlikely to cause irritation and works well for daily moisture, though oily skin of this type also needs ingredients for oil control to help manage shine.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this moisturizer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This moisturizer is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on oily skin, as it has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients. However, because it can feel sticky and leave a film, an oily skin type needs a lighter formula with oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine.
Can I use this moisturizer around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizer around the eyes and on your body because it has a very safe formula with no harsh ingredients that may cause irritation. The skin around the eyes is quite thin and delicate, making a gentle and hydrating product of this type helpful for maintaining comfort.
Is this moisturizer fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Behenyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
