Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin due to glycerin and shea butter, which hydrate and smooth texture, but lacks specialized ingredients to effectively manage oiliness, potentially worsening oily shine.
- Ascorbyl glucoside provides some brightening benefits, but the overall formula is not optimized for your primary concern of oily shine.
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 Triple Age Repair Night Moisturizer work for oily skin?
This moisturizer provides moderate hydration for oily skin, but it lacks ingredients to manage excess oil and may worsen oily shine. A product of this type needs lightweight textures, no heavy oils, and ingredients that support the skin barrier and control oil without clogging pores.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily skin?
Glycerin and shea butter make this cream a moderate fit for oily skin by hydrating and smoothing texture. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to manage oiliness, a product for oily skin needs light textures and ingredients that control excess shine without clogging pores.
What does Hexinol do for oily skin?
Hexinol helps address aging concerns while leaving skin feeling smooth and balanced, making it a suitable addition to your routine. It is unlikely to cause irritation when used as directed in standard skincare products. A product for oily skin should also include lightweight, oil-free hydrators to keep your face soft and clear.
What does Ascorbyl Glucoside do for oily skin?
Ascorbyl Glucoside helps brighten skin and fade dark spots, making it a good fit for oily skin when you want a more even complexion. It is unlikely to feel heavy or greasy, but oily skin also benefits from lightweight hydrators and gentle exfoliants to keep pores clear.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2024Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2016
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and any cleansing toner, as a step to hydrate and smooth texture. Because your skin is oily, a product of this type needs specialized ingredients to effectively manage oiliness without worsening oily shine.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizing treatment with retinol in your evening routine, but apply your retinol first and let it absorb before putting on this cream. This product provides moderate hydration and helps smooth your texture, but oily skin needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients and mattifying agents to manage shine.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment daily to hydrate your skin and smooth texture. Oily skin works best with lighter products that balance oil and shine without feeling heavy.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This cream works for your oily skin, though this type needs ingredients that help balance oil and a lightweight, oil-free feel to keep pores clear.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
This cream works on your face, but using it around the eyes or on the body requires knowing that skin thickness varies greatly across the body, with areas like the eyelids being much thinner. Because of this, body skin and delicate eye areas may need products specifically formulated for their unique thickness and sensitivity rather than a standard facial moisturizer.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Behenyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, arachidyl alcohol, and cetyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
