Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- This formulation offers moderate emollient action for your oily skin due to shea butter and caprylic capric triglyceride, but it lacks sufficient ingredients for effective seboregulation to address oily shine.
- While it provides excellent moisturizing with ceramides and hyaluronic acid to enhance barrier resilience, these benefits are mostly supportive and not directly relevant to your primary concern of oily shine.
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
Why does Lovi advise caution with Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream for oily skin?
Lovi advises caution because this cream lacks sufficient ingredients to control oily shine, even though it provides good moisture and barrier support. An oily skin type needs ingredients that manage excess oil and maintain a lightweight texture without heavy oils or breakout risks.
Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for oily skin?
This cream is a poor fit for oily skin because shea butter and caprylic capric triglyceride add rich moisture that does not help control oily shine. To properly care for oily skin, a moisturizer needs ingredients that manage excess oil and reduce shine while keeping a lightweight feel without heavy oils.
What do Ceramides do for oily skin?
Ceramides help balance and strengthen oily skin by supporting the natural barrier and keeping moisture locked in without feeling heavy. They may also help calm irritation and reduce blemishes when used as part of a regular daily routine.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004
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 cream goes as the final step in the morning and evening routine for oily skin, though it may feel too heavy since it lacks oil-balancing ingredients. Oily skin of this type needs a lightweight moisturizer with oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide to manage shine while keeping it soft.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream with retinol, and you should apply your retinol first followed by the cream. This helps keep your skin soft and calm while reducing the dryness that retinol may cause. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight ingredients to balance shine alongside soothing ceramides.
How often should I use this cream?
You may use this moisturizer twice a day as part of your routine, though it is a poor match for oily skin because it lacks oil-controlling ingredients. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators with oil-balancing ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to help manage excess shine.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This cream may cause breakouts and clog pores on oily skin because it contains rich, heavy ingredients like shea butter that can feel too heavy. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that help control shine without heavy oils.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
This cream is generally safe to use on the body and around the eyes, though the skin around the eyes is much thinner and more delicate than body skin. While it provides good moisture and barrier support with ceramides, an eye area or body product for oily skin still needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients to manage shine properly.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
What the research says
