## Key ingredients

Rose Extracts, Lotus Extracts Flower, Glycerin, Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid

## 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, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33081083/))
- Rose petal extract improves stratum corneum moisture levels in humans by upregulating HAS2 expression via the GLK-MAP2K-MAPK signaling pathway. ([BioFactors, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36573713/))
- Rosa gallica petal extract (RPE) exerts skin whitening by attenuating tyrosinase activity and melanin accumulation and exhibits anti-wrinkle activity by suppressing MMP-1 levels in human cells. ([Journal of Medicinal Food, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32609563/))
- Topical green tea and green tea plus lotus multiple emulsions reduced casual sebum secretions compared to placebo in healthy adults, with the combined treatment producing significantly greater reductions than green tea alone over a 60-day period. ([Hippokratia, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23935347/))
- Combined topical application of lotus and green tea improved facial skin surface parameters including roughness, scaliness, smoothness, and wrinkling in healthy Asian men compared to single treatments and placebo. ([Rejuvenation Research, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23267660/))
- Cosmetics containing lotus-derived callus extract showed a significant skin-whitening effect in 21 volunteers. ([Plants, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38068559/))
- 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/))
- Sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment disrupts the ordered intercellular lipid lamellar structure in hairless mouse stratum corneum, and immersion in a ceramide 3, cholesterol, and stearic acid mixture successfully reorganizes this ordered lamellar structure. ([Biophysical Chemistry, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11254216/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against Lancôme Crème Radiance cleanser for oily acne-prone skin?

This cleanser lacks a strong focus on oil control and exfoliation, which are crucial for oily acne-prone skin. Cleansers for this skin type need ingredients that help regulate oil production and prevent breakouts while keeping the skin clean and calm.

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a poor fit for oily acne-prone skin?

This cleanser lacks ingredients that help control oil and clear pores, relying instead on heavy fatty acids like myristic and stearic acid that do not target breakouts well. Oily acne-prone skin needs products with strong oil-controlling and exfoliating ingredients to keep pores clear and balance oil production.

### What does Rose Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?

Rose Extract helps manage oily acne-prone skin by fighting blemish-causing bacteria and calming redness. It is unlikely to cause irritation while supporting clearer and smoother skin.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30414245/)

### What does Lotus Flower Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?

Lotus leaf extract helps calm inflammation and provides strong antioxidant activity that supports balanced, clear skin. It works to soothe irritated areas while being gentle enough for sensitive skin types.
Sources: [ACS Applied Bio Materials, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41662142/)

### Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?

This cleanser is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin, as this skin type needs gentle, non-irritating cleansers that help clear pores without heavy or clogging ingredients.

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

You should avoid using this cleanser with retinol on oily acne-prone skin because it is a poor match and may cause too much irritation. This skin needs a gentle cleanser that supports the skin barrier with soothing ingredients and ceramides rather than harsh foaming formulas.

### How often should I use this cleanser?

This cleanser is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin, so Lovi advises against using it. Oily acne-prone skin needs a cleanser that gently removes excess oil without harsh fatty acids that may clog pores.

### Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?

This cleanser is a poor match for oily acne-prone skin because it may dry or strip the skin, leading to irritation. To keep this skin clean and calm, a cleanser needs soothing ingredients and gentle formulas that do not clog pores.

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

This cleanser is not recommended for the thin skin around your eyes or on your body because its formula and type are a poor match for those areas. Oily acne-prone skin needs gentle cleansers with soothing ingredients and lightweight hydrators to keep skin calm and soft.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, limonene, benzyl salicylate, benzyl alcohol, and linalool).
