The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Saudi Arabia.

Brand: [Lush](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/brands/lush)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/best/moisturizers)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A poor match for oily skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin, but the rich emollients like Sesamum Indicum Oil and Theobroma Cacao Butter can exacerbate oiliness and clog pores, rather than providing seboregulation.
- While the formula contains soothing ingredients like aloe and rose absolute, its primary benefits are general skincare, which are irrelevant or mostly supportive for your oily shine concerns.

([Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39192646/))
- Treatment with moderately ozonated sesame oil accelerates cutaneous wound closure and enhances cell response, angiogenesis, and VEGF and cyclin D1 expression in SKH1 mice compared to oil with lower or higher peroxide values and controls. ([Wound Repair and Regeneration, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21134039/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with LUSH Skin Drink for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because rich oils and butters in this moisturizer can increase extra oil and clog pores on oily skin rather than balancing shine. A moisturizer for this skin needs light hydrating agents and peptides without heavy oils to keep the skin clear and comfortable.

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

Sesamum Indicum Oil and Theobroma Cacao Butter make this cream a poor fit because their rich texture can increase oiliness and clog pores on oily skin. A moisturizer for this skin needs light hydrators, peptides, and ingredients that support the skin barrier without heavy oils.

### What does Sesame Oil do for oily skin?

Sesame oil is unlikely to irritate oily skin and helps keep it soft and calm. It supports the skin barrier and provides antioxidant benefits.
Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21772026/), [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29280987/)

### What does Avocado do for oily skin?

Avocado oil is generally too heavy for oily skin and may clog pores, making it a poor fit for this skin type. Oily skin needs lightweight, balancing ingredients that control shine without blocking pores, such as niacinamide or gentle AHAs.

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

This cream goes as the final moisturizer step in morning and evening routines for oily skin. Because this rich cream may increase shine and clog pores, oily skin needs a lightweight moisturizer with oil-controlling ingredients instead.

### Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

This moisturizer is a poor match for oily skin because heavy ingredients like sesame oil and cocoa butter may clog pores and increase oiliness, so oily skin needs lightweight, oil-controlling moisturizers with ingredients that balance sebum rather than heavy butters.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin, as heavy ingredients like sesame oil and cocoa butter may make oiliness worse and clog pores instead of balancing oil. Oily skin needs light, oil-free hydrators with ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid that provide moisture without heaviness.

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

Yes, it can clog pores and make oily skin feel greasier because it contains rich ingredients like Sesamum Indicum Oil and Theobroma Cacao Butter. Oily skin needs lighter products with ingredients that help control shine rather than heavy butters and oils.

### Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

This moisturizer is not ideal for the thin skin around your eyes and is better suited for dry areas on your body. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that help balance oil without heavy butters.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (geraniol, farnesol, limonene, linalool, citronellol, and parfum). Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
