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

Brand: [Elemis](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/elemis)

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 serums alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate plumping for your oily skin due to Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-50 and Heptapeptide-15, which improve elasticity, while Hyaluronic Acid provides hydration but does not address oily shine.
- Punica Granatum Seed Oil offers emollient benefits, but the formula lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on oily skin.
- The product is safe for your oily skin as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients and poses no risk of irritation.

## What the research says

- Topical hyaluronic acid filler serum combined with Botulinum toxin type A lengthened the duration of the toxin's effect in reducing wrinkles compared to Botulinum toxin type A alone. ([Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36200921/))
- Optimized transfersomes loaded with epigallocatechin-3-gallate and hyaluronic acid increased cell viability while reducing lipid peroxidation, intracellular ROS, and MMP expression in HaCaT cells, and exhibited higher skin permeation and deposition compared to plain EGCG. ([Drug Delivery, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28155509/))
- Pomegranate seed oil exhibited no cytotoxicity up to 500 µg/mL, suppressed LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines, and accelerated fibroblast wound closure by approximately 20% over 24 hours in human keratinocyte and dermal fibroblast models compared to untreated controls. ([Inflammopharmacology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41065959/))
- Application of a cosmetic cream containing Punica granatum seed oil and Croton lechleri resin extract increased dermis thickness, hydration, and elasticity in subjects with striae distensae after 6 weeks. ([Drug Design, Development and Therapy, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28280300/))
- Pomegranate seed oil extract, Avocom-M, and TROSYD reduced levels of cyclooxygenase-2, lipid peroxidation, tyrosinase, hyaluronidase, elastase, collagenase, and nitric oxide, improving biochemical status in rats and ameliorating skin inflammation in human volunteers. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36677961/))
- Pomegranate seed oil stimulated human keratinocyte proliferation while pomegranate peel extract stimulated type I procollagen synthesis and inhibited matrix metalloproteinase-1 production in human dermal fibroblasts compared to untreated controls. ([Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16221534/))

## What reviewers say

Based on limited data, this serum is highly effective for individuals with mature or dehydrated skin looking to target deep-set wrinkles, loss of firmness, and dullness. Users frequently report a noticeable improvement in skin plumpness, radiance, and overall texture after consistent use.

## How to apply

- Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
- Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but right before your moisturizer for the best results.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin. Let it absorb ⏱ for a minute before applying the next product.
- Apply the serum on clean and dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and you want to target oily shine. This helps control excess oil throughout the night.
- Avoid the delicate eye area and do a patch test before using the serum for the very first time.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Elemis Ultra Smart Pro-Collagen Complex Serum for oily skin?

This treatment is a poor match for your oily skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control and does not address oily shine. A treatment of this type needs effective ingredients like niacinamide and zinc PCA that control sebum production and enhance skin radiance, along with the optimal combination of soothing extracts.

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

Punica Granatum Seed Oil makes this serum a poor fit for oily skin because it provides heavy softening without helping control excess oil shine. A treatment of this type needs effective ingredients like niacinamide and zinc PCA to control sebum production and manage shine.
Sources: [Inflammopharmacology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41065959/)

### What does Pomegranate Seed Oil do for oily skin?

Pomegranate seed oil is generally a poor fit for oily skin because it is a rich oil that can feel too heavy and clog pores. To work well for oily skin, a product of this type needs lightweight textures, fast-absorbing plant oils, and ingredients that help balance oil and calm the skin.
Sources: [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29280987/), [Pharmaceuticals, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42515784/)

### What does Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-50 do for oily skin?

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-50 helps firm and smooth oily skin without making it feel heavy or greasy. It supports skin bounce and elasticity while keeping the surface feeling soft and balanced.

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

This treatment serum goes in the evening routine for oily skin, applied after cleansing and before moisturizing. Oily skin needs a product of this type to include ingredients that help control oil while providing hydration.

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

You can use this serum alongside retinol by applying the serum before your moisturizer at night, keeping in mind it is a poor match for oily skin. Oily skin needs targeted oil-control ingredients and lightweight hydrators to properly balance shine and moisture.

### How often should I use this serum?

You should use this serum in the evening, applying it to your oily skin just once or twice a week to start. While it is safe and causes no irritation, it lacks the oil-control ingredients needed to balance extra oil. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid.
Sources: [Inflammopharmacology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41065959/)

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

This serum is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on oily skin because it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients. However, it lacks sufficient ingredients for oil control, so an oily skin type needs lightweight hydrating ingredients and ingredients that help balance excess shine instead.
Sources: [Inflammopharmacology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41065959/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
