Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as glycerin and shea butter provide essential hydration and emollient benefits without exacerbating oiliness.
- While beneficial for general skin hydration, the formula lacks targeted ingredients to specifically address your concerns with acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The product is safe for your skin, with no reported irritation risks due to the absence of harsh or prohibited ingredients.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using the creamy mask 3 times a week and slowly move to daily use.
- Apply the creamy mask after your cleanser and toner, but right before your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently smooth a thin layer of the creamy mask over your face. Avoid any harsh rubbing motions.
- Apply the creamy mask evenly on clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes. Let it sit comfortably without rushing the process.
- Always avoid the delicate eye area. Do a quick patch test before your very first application to check for safety.
People Say
★4.7Overall rating based on 1.5k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this mask is highly regarded by users with mature, dull, or dehydrated skin for its ability to provide an immediate plumping, brightening, and softening effect. A significant number of reviews highlight its instant radiance-boosting and deeply hydrating properties, along with a luxurious feel. The most frequently mentioned drawback is the high price point, though a small number of users find the rose fragrance too strong or the texture not rich enough for very dry skin.

Questions and answers
How well does Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask work for oily acne-prone skin?
This mask works reasonably well for your oily skin, as glycerin and shea butter provide essential hydration without making you extra oily, and it is unlikely to cause irritation. However, it lacks targeted ingredients to help with acne and breakouts. An ideal product for this skin type needs ingredients like Niacinamide and Centella Asiatica to soothe blemishes and promote a balanced complexion.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily acne-prone skin?
Glycerin and shea butter make this cream a good fit by providing essential hydration and smoothness without making oily skin heavier. However, because this product is an average fit, an ideal product for this skin needs targeted ingredients like niacinamide and centella asiatica to address blemishes and balance oil.
What does Black Rose Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?
Black Rose Extract helps oily and acne-prone skin by reducing excess oil and calming redness. This type of skin needs ingredients that control shine and keep pores clear to stay smooth and balanced.
What does Shea Butter do for oily acne-prone skin?
Shea butter is generally too heavy for oily, acne-prone skin and may clog pores, leading to breakouts. Skin of this type needs lightweight, non-greasy hydrators like green tea extract to keep it smooth and calm without extra oil.
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?
This nourishing mask fits into your weekly routine after cleansing and exfoliating, and before toning and moisturizing. Oily acne-prone skin of this type needs a mask that also contains targeted blemish-fighting ingredients to properly address breakouts.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help keep your skin soft and comfortable. This type of routine needs ingredients like ceramides and soothing agents to help calm breakouts and support your skin barrier while using strong treatments.
How often should I use this cream?
This nourishing mask works as an average fit for your oily acne-prone skin, providing essential moisture without making you too oily. To better care for this skin type, a product of this type needs targeted ingredients that specifically clear blemishes and breakouts.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?
This mask is unlikely to cause irritation on oily acne-prone skin, but it lacks targeted ingredients to address blemishes and breakouts. A product for this skin needs specialized ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help clear pores and prevent pimples.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (linalool, citronellol, and geraniol).
What the research says
Treatment with a rose extract activated newly identified skin olfactory receptors and prevented epinephrine-induced skin stress responses in epidermal keratinocytes and human skin explants, while clinically decreasing the appearance of under-eye dark circles in stressed women.
Molecules, 2020A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events.
Lasers in Medical Science, 2025A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025A 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, 2017The 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, 2020Ten 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.

Antioxidants, 2025Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002Moisturizer containing 5% panthenol, madecassoside, and copper-zinc-manganese decreased adverse reactions and downtime after ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing with comparable efficacy to 0.02% triamcinolone acetonide cream in 20 subjects.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019Topical dexpanthenol formulated in lipophilic vehicles improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in humans.

Why other nourishing masks fit oily acne-prone skin better
Co-delivery of paeonol and madecassoside via nanoemulsions improved transdermal delivery, promoted barrier repair proteins, inhibited inflammatory cytokine secretion in cellular and 3D models, and reduced transepidermal water loss and acne in human facial skin compared to free components.
