Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers excellent moisturizing due to glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, but the emollient action of Olea Europaea Oil Fruit and Squalane may be too heavy for your oily skin.
- While the product provides general skincare benefits, these are largely supportive and do not directly address 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.

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
What does Squalane do for oily skin?
Squalane helps keep oily skin soft and smooth without feeling heavy, though oxidized forms may sometimes trigger irritation. To work well for oily skin, this type of product needs lightweight, non-clogging ingredients that balance moisture without adding excess grease.
Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This moisturizer goes near the end of your morning or evening routine, right before sunscreen in the day. However, this product may be too heavy for your oily skin, which typically needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and ingredients that help control shine.
Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizer with retinol to help keep your skin comfortable and reduce dryness. Apply your retinol first, wait for it to absorb, and then follow with the moisturizer.
How often should I use this moisturizer?
You should use this moisturizer with caution on oily skin because ingredients like olive oil fruit and squalane may feel too heavy for you. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators and balancing ingredients that control shine without clogging pores.
Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This lotion may feel too heavy for oily skin because the oils and squalane inside can clog pores and cause breakouts. Oily skin needs light, oil-free hydration with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin instead.
Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body, as skin is thin there and may benefit from the hydration. For oily skin, a product of this type needs lighter hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid that keep skin soft and smooth without heavy oils.

Is this moisturizer fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
