Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- This cream offers moderate benefits for your oily skin, with niacinamide and peptides supporting seboregulation and collagen stimulation, though it lacks ingredients specifically targeting oily shine. Glycerin and peptides provide excellent hydration and improve skin elasticity, contributing to overall skin health.
- While the formula is generally safe and free from harsh ingredients for your oily skin, its primary function is hydration rather than directly addressing the control of oily shine.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
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 BIOHEAL BOH Probioderm Lifting Cream work for oily skin?
This cream offers moderate benefits for your oily skin, providing good hydration and elasticity with glycerin and peptides, though it lacks ingredients specifically targeting oily shine. A product of this type needs ingredients that effectively manage oily shine and maintain a lightweight texture without heavy oils.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily skin?
Niacinamide and peptides help support oil balance and firmness, while glycerin provides moisture without feeling heavy. Oily skin often benefits most from a product that controls shine while offering lightweight hydration without clogging pores.
What do Peptides do for oily skin?
Peptides help support skin health and may improve the look of oily skin, but this type of skin needs formulas with ingredients that balance oil production and keep pores clear.
Advanced Science, 2025International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2025
What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?
Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes near the end of your morning and evening routines, right before sunscreen in the morning. Oily skin also needs lightweight moisturizers with oil-absorbing ingredients to help keep shine under control.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can I use this cream with vitamin C, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizing treatment with vitamin C by applying vitamin C first and following with this cream. This combination is generally safe for your skin, though an oily skin type also needs targeted ingredients that specifically control excess shine.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment twice daily as part of your morning and evening routine, as its safe formula and gentle ingredients suit your oily skin well. Daily application helps keep your skin hydrated and supports firmness, though an oily skin type also needs ingredients that specifically target and control excess shine.
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 irritation or breakouts on your oily skin because it is free from harsh ingredients, though it tends to feel a bit heavy and lacks specific ingredients to control oily shine. Oily skin often needs lightweight formulas with oil-absorbing minerals or clarifying acids to stay matte and clear.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
You can safely use this cream around the eyes and on your body because its formula is gentle and free from harsh ingredients. It helps keep the thin skin around the eyes and body hydrated and soft, though an oily skin type needs a lighter product that specifically targets excess shine for these areas.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
