Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as niacinamide helps regulate sebum and glycerin provides hydration, though it may not fully address all your concerns.
  • The formula provides excellent moisturizing benefits with glycerin and propanediol, which hydrate and plump the skin, supporting overall skin health.
  • 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.

People Say

★4.0Overall rating based on 3.3k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this lightweight jelly moisturizer is highly praised by users with oily and combination skin for providing a refreshing, non-greasy feel and a radiant "glass skin" finish. However, users with dry skin frequently find it lacks sufficient hydration, and the strong floral fragrance is a common concern for those with sensitive skin.
