Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for oily skin as Glycerin and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid provide essential hydration without exacerbating oiliness, though it lacks targeted ingredients for significant oil control.
  • The inclusion of Allantoin, Panthenol, and Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract ensures a soothing experience, which is beneficial for maintaining overall skin health.

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 Torriden Dive-In Cream work for oily skin?

This cream works moderately well for oily skin, providing essential hydration without adding extra oil, though it lacks targeted ingredients for significant oil control. To truly thrive on oily skin, a moisturizer of this type needs lightweight hydrating agents paired with peptides and oil-controlling ingredients that keep shine in check without clogging pores.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002

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

Glycerin and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid make this cream a good fit by giving oily skin essential hydration without extra oiliness, while allantoin and panthenol help calm it. To fit oily skin even better, a moisturizing treatment of this type needs peptides, ingredients that control oil and manage shine, and a lightweight feel without heavy oils.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017

What does Allantoin do for oily skin?

Allantoin helps calm oily skin and keeps it feeling soft and smooth by supporting skin healing and keeping irritation low. This ingredient works well for skin that gets easily bothered, helping it stay comfortable and balanced.

Acta Cirurgica Brasileira, 2010

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

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This moisturizing treatment goes near the end of your routine, right before sunscreen in the morning and as the final step in the evening. Glycerin and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid help provide essential hydration without making oily skin heavier, but oily skin of this type also needs targeted ingredients for significant oil control.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe your skin and lower the risk of dryness or irritation. Oily skin also needs lightweight moisturizers with oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine.

Cutis, 2006

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment daily to keep your skin hydrated and calm. Twice-daily application helps maintain moisture and improve overall skin comfort.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

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

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on oily skin because it has a gentle formula without harsh ingredients, though breakouts from it are rarely reported. Oily skin works best with a product that provides light hydration while also including targeted ingredients for oil control.

Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body as its gentle formulation has a safe profile. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid alongside soothing ingredients like allantoin and panthenol to keep skin healthy without feeling heavy.
