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

Brand: [glymed+](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/glymed)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/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 weak match for oily skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent moisturizing for your oily skin due to glycerin and Tropaeolum Majus Stem Extract, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience.
- While it provides general skincare benefits, the formula lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control, making it less relevant for your oily shine.

## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Isosaponarin isolated from wasabi leaf increased type I collagen production in human fibroblasts by up-regulating TbetaR-II and P4H expression. ([Journal of Natural Medicines, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20349148/))
- Topical application of 5% vitamin C cream significantly improved global clinical scores, increased skin microrelief density, and induced elastic tissue repair in photoaged skin compared to excipient control in healthy female volunteers. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12823436/))
- Ascorbic acid 2-glucoside gel significantly reduced gingival melanin pigmentation after 4 weeks compared to placebo in 73 subjects with symmetric pigmentation. ([Journal of Periodontology, 2009](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19186973/))
- Topical application of VC-IP cream twice daily for 8 weeks reduces periorbital wrinkles in female subjects compared to a placebo cream. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34910367/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- Topical application of an antioxidant serum containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented particulate matter-induced degradation of extracellular matrix components, inflammation, and oxidative stress in the skin of 15 female volunteers compared to untreated controls. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40642809/))
- Dermatological products containing d-alpha tocopheryl acetate showed non-comedogenic potential with less than a 50% increase in microcomedones in 12 healthy male subjects compared to octyl palmitate. ([Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34471722/))
- Topical application of an antioxidant mix containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented PM and UV-induced skin barrier perturbation, lipid peroxidation, inflammatory markers, MMP9 activation, and Type I collagen loss in 15 healthy females compared to untreated exposed skin. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38590207/))

## Why other moisturizers fit oily skin better

- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38366684/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Glymed+ Oxygen Treatment a weak match for oily skin?

Glymed+ Oxygen Cream is a weak match for oily skin because, although it provides good hydration, it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control and oily shine. Moisturizing treatments for this skin type need peptides, hydrating agents, and ingredients that support the skin barrier while maintaining a lightweight texture without heavy oils.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is a weak match for your oily skin because the formula lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control to manage your oily shine. A moisturizing treatment for oily skin needs to include peptides, lightweight hydrating agents, and ingredients that support the skin barrier without clogging pores or adding heavy oils.

### What does Hydrolyzed Candida Saitoana Extract do for oily skin?

Hydrolyzed Candida Saitoana Extract helps balance oily skin by refining texture and supporting a clearer, smoother look. It is lightweight and unlikely to clog pores, making it a great addition to your daily routine.

### What does Lactobacillus Wasabia Extract do for oily skin?

Lactobacillus Wasabia Extract helps keep oily skin feeling fresh by supporting a balanced surface and managing everyday shine. This ingredient is unlikely to clog pores and works well in lightweight daily routines to keep your skin smooth and calm.

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

This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before your final moisturizer, or just as a moisturizer in the morning. While it provides good hydration, it lacks sufficient ingredients for oil control, so an oily skin routine also needs mattifying agents and oil-absorbing ingredients to help manage shine.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment with retinol by applying your retinol first at night, letting it absorb, and then following with this cream to help keep your skin comfortable. This product of this type needs added oil-control ingredients to properly manage oily shine.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment daily to keep your skin hydrated, though oily skin needs a product with ingredients focused on oil control to help manage shine.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This cream is unlikely to cause purging since it does not contain exfoliating acids, but it may feel a bit heavy and not control shine well on oily skin. Oily skin works best with a moisturizing treatment that includes oil-absorbing ingredients and lightweight hydrators to keep pores clear.

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

You can use this cream on the body or around the eyes as long as your skin tolerates it well. Because the skin around the eyes and on certain body areas is very thin and delicate, a moisturizing treatment like this may help hydrate those zones.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
