Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin due to the presence of sodium hyaluronate and glycerin, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience without exacerbating oiliness.
  • While supportive for general hydration, ingredients like watermelon and apple extracts are not specifically targeted to address your primary concern of oily shine.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin, featuring soothing ingredients like Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract and Bisabolol with no risk of irritation.

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 Rich Cushion Cream work for oily skin?

This moisturizer works moderately well for oily skin by hydrating and soothing without adding extra shine, though it lacks specific ingredients to target oiliness directly. A product for oily skin of this type needs lightweight hydration, soothing extracts, and ingredients that control excess oil without clogging pores.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily skin?

Sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and squalane help hydrate your oily skin and keep your skin barrier strong without adding extra oiliness. A moisturizer for this skin needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that manage shine without heavy oils.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017

What does Glycerin do for oily skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy and supports the skin barrier. Because this product is a weak fit for your skin, an ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil while protecting the skin.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008International Journal of Toxicology, 2019

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

This moisturizer goes near the end of your morning and evening routines, after cleansing and any treatments or toners. Oily skin works best with lightweight hydrators containing niacinamide or salicylic acid to help control excess shine and keep pores clear.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying the retinol first, letting it absorb, and then smoothing on this moisturizer. This helps keep your skin calm and hydrated while managing dryness from the retinol. Oily skin works best with a gel or fluid moisturizer that controls shine and absorbs excess oil.

Cutis, 2006Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizer daily in both your morning and evening routines to keep your skin hydrated. Daily application helps improve skin moisture and barrier function, keeping your face soft and smooth.

Health Science Reports, 2021

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, as it contains soothing ingredients with no risk of irritation. However, because it offers only moderate moisture, oily skin typically needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients that control excess shine while keeping the skin calm.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016

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

Yes, you can use this moisturizing cream safely around the eyes or on your body. The skin around the eyes and on parts of the body can be very thin, but this product features soothing ingredients with no risk of irritation.

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
