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

Brand: [SkinCeuticals](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/skinceuticals)

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 products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate benefits for oily shine and oily skin due to the presence of retinol and glaucine, which provide mild exfoliation and sebum regulation, but these benefits are not sufficient to fully address your concerns and may pose risks of worsening them.
- While retinol offers some desquamation regulation for your oily skin, the formula lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients to fully manage excess oil.

## What the research says

- Topical 0.4% retinol significantly increased epidermal thickness, dermal vascularity, and extracellular matrix production by stimulating keratinocyte proliferation, endothelial cell proliferation, and fibroblast activation in naturally aged human skin compared to vehicle. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27261203/))
- Topical bakuchiol 0.5% applied twice daily compared with retinol 0.5% applied daily significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation with no statistical difference between the compounds in 44 patients over 12 weeks, while retinol users reported more facial skin scaling and stinging. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/))
- Silicone particles encapsulating retinol increased its half-life by 9-fold and yielded 12-23% lower skin irritation in human subjects compared to Microsponge particles while maintaining biological activity. ([Journal of Controlled Release, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29604311/))
- Rice protein hydrolysate and its characteristic peptides Leu-Leu-Lys, Leu-Pro-Lys, and pyroGlu-Lys reduced melanin content, tyrosinase activity, and ROS production in UVB-induced human epidermal melanocyte PIG1 cells by regulating the JNK/Β-Trcp/NFΗB-p65/MITF signaling pathway and lowering TRP-1 and TRP-2 expression. ([Food & Function, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32955075/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- Wearing an N95 mask alone compared to using dimethicone cream or hydrocolloid dressing caused more adverse skin reactions among 73 military health care workers, with no significant differences in fit test failure rates between groups. ([Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/))
- A dimethicone skin protectant lotion significantly decreased visual scoring and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control and SLS-only treated sites in 12 healthy humans exposed to sodium lauryl sulfate. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11428946/))
- Treatment with a moisturizer containing dimethicone and glycerine increased epidermal thickness by 0.019 mm, improved barrier function by decreasing transepidermal water loss by 13%, decreased melanin intensity, and induced keratins 6 and 16 in fifteen women with moderately photoaged forearms. ([Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/))

## Why other products fit oily skin better

- A botanical face cleanser with hops and willow bark extract continuously reduced skin sebum levels without reactive seborrhea after treatment in 21 healthy volunteers compared to a sodium laureth sulfate cleanser, with neither cleanser causing skin irritation. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30022595/))
- Daily treatment with a facial serum containing multiple acids reduced post-inflammatory hyperchromia lesion grade and number by 29.4% at 56 days, and decreased skin oiliness by 30.7% at 7 days in Brazilian patients with acne vulgaris. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33617668/))
- Chemical peels with 30% supramolecular salicylic acid effectively treated acne and reduced facial sebum secretion while improving skin hydration and barrier function in 25 patients. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35073439/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair a weak match for oily skin?

SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair is a weak match for oily skin because it only offers moderate benefits for oily shine and lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients to fully manage excess oil. To fit oily skin well, a product of this type needs effective clarifying and detoxifying ingredients like salicylic acid, zinc oxide, BHA, and natural extracts that control oil and refine pores without irritation.

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

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients like salicylic acid, zinc oxide, or BHA to fully manage excess oil and reduce shine. A product for oily skin needs purifying ingredients and natural extracts that clarify the complexion and refine pores without irritation.

### What do Tripeptides do for oily skin?

Tripeptides help control oil production while keeping skin moisturized. They absorb well into the skin to balance oily areas.
Sources: [Pharmaceutics, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38675215/)

### What does Retinol do for oily skin?

Retinol helps oily skin by keeping pores clear and balancing sebum production, which may reduce shine and breakouts. Because it can sometimes cause dryness or peeling in the beginning, starting slowly is recommended.
Sources: [Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21914489/)

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

This cream is a treatment step for oily skin that goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though it is a weak match for this skin type and may not fully manage excess oil. Oily skin of this type needs a product that includes strong oil-controlling ingredients and lightweight, oil-balancing hydrators to properly manage shine.

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

Using this product with glycolic acid may overly dry and irritate oily skin, so it is safer to use them on different nights or alternate days. A neck cream for this skin needs oil-balancing ingredients and lightweight hydration to help keep pores clear without adding heaviness.

### How often should I use this cream?

This neck cream is a weak match for oily skin, so it requires careful testing and likely less frequent use to avoid irritation. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight formulas with stronger oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide or clay to properly manage excess shine.

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

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks sufficient oil-controlling ingredients to fully manage excess oil and may worsen breakouts. To properly care for oily skin, a product of this type needs stronger oil-balancing and clarifying ingredients to keep pores clear.

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

It contains fragrance (linalool) and drying alcohol (alcohol).
