Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/oily-acne-prone-skin The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Kingdom. Brand: [Lubriderm](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/brands/lubriderm) This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily acne-prone skin: shine, breakouts, blemishes, and enlarged pores. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app. A poor match for oily acne-prone skin; the products alongside fit it better. ## Why this fit - Extremely unsuitable for oily skin due to the presence of mineral oil and petrolatum, which provide occlusive action that can exacerbate oiliness and potentially worsen acne and breakouts. - While glycerin and dimethicone offer moderate moisturizing benefits, they do not address your primary concerns of acne, blemishes, and breakouts. ## Fit by skin type - [Oily skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/oily-skin): Warning - [Dry skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/dry-skin): Low - [Combination skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/combination-skin): Warning - [Sensitive skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/sensitive-skin): Low - [Acne-prone skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/acne-prone-skin): Warning - [Skin with dark spots](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/dark-spots): Low - [Mature skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/mature-skin): Low - [Dry sensitive skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/dry-sensitive-skin): Average - [Oily acne-prone skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/lubriderm/daily-moisture-lotion/for/oily-acne-prone-skin): Warning (this page) ## Key ingredients Glycerin, Mineral Oil ## 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/)) - 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/)) - Repeated application of concentrated water-in-oil emulsions over four weeks caused no skin irritation, positively affected skin properties, and delivered almost 50% of the applied fluorescein sodium, with isopropyl myristate showing superior penetration performance compared to liquid paraffin in healthy volunteers. ([International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31525444/)) ## What reviewers say Based on a very large amount of data, this product is highly regarded for its ability to hydrate normal to dry and sensitive skin, leaving it soft and smooth without a heavy feel. A significant number of users report that it absorbs quickly and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. Some users with very dry skin find it insufficient for long-lasting moisture, and a moderate number of recent reviews indicate a formula change has resulted in a sticky texture or mild irritation. - Liked: Effective hydration (mostly mentioned) - Liked: Lightweight, non-greasy (mostly mentioned) - Liked: Fast absorbing (often mentioned) - Liked: Good for sensitive (often mentioned) - Disliked: New formula sticky (sometimes noted) - Disliked: Causes reactions (rarely noted) - Disliked: Not moisturizing (rarely noted) ## Questions and answers ### Why does Lovi advise against Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion for oily acne-prone skin? Lovi advises against this lotion for oily acne-prone skin because it contains mineral oil and petrolatum, which can trap excess oil and potentially worsen breakouts. A body lotion for this skin type needs lightweight hydrating ingredients, soothing extracts, and the absence of heavy oils to keep pores clear. ### Which ingredients make this body lotion a poor fit for oily acne-prone skin? This body lotion is a poor fit for your oily acne-prone skin because it contains mineral oil and petrolatum, which trap moisture and oil on your skin and may worsen breakouts. To work well for this skin type, a product needs lightweight hydrating ingredients, soothing extracts, and brightening agents without heavy oils that can clog pores. ### What does Water do for oily acne-prone skin? Water helps keep oily, acne-prone skin hydrated without making it greasy. Keeping skin hydrated is important because acne treatments can dry it out and irritate the skin barrier. Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40196957/) ### What does Glycerin do for oily acne-prone skin? Glycerin helps keep oily acne-prone skin hydrated without feeling heavy. It draws moisture into the skin while supporting the skin barrier so it stays soft and balanced. Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/) ### Where does this body lotion go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin? This body lotion is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like mineral oil and petrolatum may trap oil and worsen breakouts. Oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-clogging moisturizers that hydrate without heavy barriers, along with targeted blemish-fighting ingredients. ### Can I use this body lotion with retinol, and in what order? This body lotion is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like mineral oil and petrolatum trap oil and may worsen breakouts. Oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-greasy moisturizers with soothing ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or licochalcone to keep the skin calm and clear without clogging pores. ### How often should I use this body lotion? This body lotion is a poor match for your oily acne-prone skin because ingredients like mineral oil and petrolatum can make oiliness worse and cause breakouts. Oily skin needs a lightweight moisturizer with niacinamide or other balancing ingredients that hydrate without clogging pores. Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31461548/) ### Can this body lotion clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin? This body lotion is a poor match for your skin because it contains mineral oil and petrolatum, which can trap excess oil and may make breakouts worse. Oily, acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-clogging hydrators and ingredients that help clear blemishes without adding heavy layers. ### Is this body lotion fragrance-free and alcohol-free? Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin. ## Alternatives for oily acne-prone skin - [COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/cosrx/advanced-snail-96-mucin-power-essence/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £12.21 at Amazon - [Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Brightening Moisture Gel Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/some-by-mi/yuja-niacin-brightening-moisture-gel-cream/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £11.90 at Amazon - [belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/belif/the-true-cream-aqua-bomb/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — High fit — £32.00 at Amazon ## Routine for oily acne-prone skin ### AM - Cleanser: [Paula's Choice CLEAR Pore Normalizing Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/paula-s-choice/clear-pore-normalizing-cleanser/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £26.00 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £30.37 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £14.80 at Amazon - SPF: [make p:rem UV Defense Me Blue Ray Sun Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/make-p-rem/uv-defense-me-blue-ray-sun-cream/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £27.50 at Amazon ### PM - Pre-Cleanser: [Pyunkang Yul Deep Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/pyunkang-yul/deep-cleansing-oil/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £23.92 at Amazon - Cleanser: [Paula's Choice CLEAR Pore Normalizing Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/paula-s-choice/clear-pore-normalizing-cleanser/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £26.00 at Amazon - Cleansing Toner: [Rodial Vitamin C Brightening Tonic](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/rodial/vitamin-c-brightening-tonic/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £29.99 at Amazon - Serum or Treatment: [Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/peach-and-lily/glass-skin-refining-serum/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £59.74 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £14.80 at Amazon ### Weekly - Pre-Cleanser: [Pyunkang Yul Deep Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/pyunkang-yul/deep-cleansing-oil/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £23.92 at Amazon - Cleanser: [Paula's Choice CLEAR Pore Normalizing Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/paula-s-choice/clear-pore-normalizing-cleanser/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £26.00 at Amazon - Enzyme Powder: [Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/dermalogica/daily-microfoliant/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £19.00 at Amazon - Cleansing Mask: [VT Cosmetics Cica Purifying Mask](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/vt-cosmetics/cica-purifying-mask/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — High fit — £19.00 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £30.37 at Amazon - Serum or Treatment: [Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/p/peach-and-lily/glass-skin-refining-serum/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — £59.74 at Amazon ## Where to buy - Amazon.co.uk: £16.29 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0000SW8C0?tag=lovi-care-web-product-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) Prices checked 6 Nov 2026. ## Ingredients Water, Glycerin, Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Carbomer, Methylparaben, Propylparaben ## About the Lovi Fit Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.
