Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as Bifida Lysate Ferment and Niacinamide provide barrier repair and some oil control, though more potent ingredients could enhance results for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • Glycerin and Panthenol offer general hydration and soothing benefits, supporting your skin's overall health.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your PM routine. Start 3 times a week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply your serum after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2 to 3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the serum on clean, dry skin to help manage your blemishes safely.
  • Do a patch test before your first use and avoid the delicate eye area.

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 700+ reviews

Users consistently praise this ampoule as a powerful anti-aging treatment that delivers deep hydration and a "glass skin" glow overnight, often comparing it favorably to the much more expensive Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair. It is particularly effective for dry, mature, and sensitive skin types, helping to smooth rough texture and plump fine lines, though a minority of users with sensitivities to fermented ingredients or essential oils experienced irritation.

Questions and answers

How well does MISSHA Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule 5X work for oily acne-prone skin?

This treatment works moderately well for oily acne-prone skin, as it helps repair the skin barrier and control oil while keeping skin calm. However, a product of this type needs more potent ingredients and antioxidants like vitamin C and propolis to better address breakouts and uneven texture.

Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for oily acne-prone skin?

Bifida lysate ferment and niacinamide make this serum a fit by helping repair your skin barrier and control oil, while glycerin and panthenol keep it hydrated and calm. Oily acne-prone skin typically needs treatments with targeted blemish-fighting ingredients and oil-controlling elements to properly manage breakouts and uneven texture.
