Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Extremely unsuitable for oily skin due to the presence of shea butter and dimethicone, which provide emollient and occlusive actions beneficial for dry skin.
  • Offers moderate moisturizing due to the presence of glycerin and caprylic capric triglyceride in proper concentrations for hydrating the skin, but these benefits are irrelevant or mostly supportive for your oily shine and oily skin.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise against PRAI Ageless Throat & Decolletage Creme for oily skin?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it contains heavy ingredients like shea butter and dimethicone that trap moisture and can feel too heavy. Oily skin needs a product that provides lightweight hydration with peptides or soothing extracts, and avoids heavy oils and pore-clogging ingredients.

Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for oily skin?

This cream is a poor fit for oily skin mainly because it contains shea butter and dimethicone, which create a heavy layer that traps moisture and is meant for dry skin. A body lotion for oily skin needs effective hydrating and soothing ingredients, lightweight textures without heavy oils, and components that manage oily shine without clogging pores or causing breakouts.

What does Water do for oily skin?

Water helps keep oily skin hydrated without adding grease or clogging pores. Keeping oily skin properly hydrated may also help balance oil production and reduce unwanted shine.

What the research says

    Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

  • Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization.

    Life, 2023

  • The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.

    Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020

  • Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.

    International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001

  • Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
