This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with acne-prone skin: breakouts, blackheads, and post-acne marks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for acne-prone skin; the cleansers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate cleansing for your acne-prone skin, as Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate help remove impurities, while Glycerin provides some hydration for your combination skin. The formula lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas.
- Lavender oil is included for its soothing properties, contributing to a gentle experience.
- The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

## Key ingredients

Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine

## 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/))
- The cytotoxic effect of sodium lauryl sulphate on normal human keratinocytes was significantly decreased when combined with cocamidopropyl betaine, Tween 20, and Tween 80 at concentrations well below the critical micelle concentration. ([Skin Pharmacology and Applied Skin Physiology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12677096/))

## Why other cleansers fit acne-prone skin better

- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38366684/))
- 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. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Dieux Deliverance cleanser a weak match for acne-prone skin?

This cleanser is a weak match for your acne-prone skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas. A cleanser of this type needs effective ingredients like Niacinamide and Ceramides to target acne and breakouts, along with reliable hydration and barrier-repairing agents to keep combination skin balanced.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Lavender oil and citrus extract in this cleanser can be a poor fit for acne-prone skin because they may cause irritation or sensitivity in easily upset skin. A cleanser for this skin needs powerful ingredients like Niacinamide and Ceramides to target breakouts, along with multiple forms of hyaluronic acid to keep moisture balanced.

### What does Water do for acne-prone skin?

Water-based hydration helps keep acne-prone skin balanced by providing essential moisture without adding excess oil. Proper hydration also helps reduce dryness and flakiness that can sometimes result from harsh acne treatments.

### What does Glycerin do for acne-prone skin?

Glycerin helps keep acne-prone skin hydrated and calm without clogging pores or feeling heavy. It supports the skin barrier so it stays soft and smooth while handling everyday treatments.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [International Journal of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31840548/)

### Where does it go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This cleanser goes in the morning and evening routine for acne-prone skin, after a makeup remover at night. A cleanser for this skin needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage oily areas.

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

You can use this cleanser with retinol, applying the cleanser first on damp skin, rinsing it off, and then following with your retinol treatment once your face is dry. This cleanser is unlikely to cause irritation due to its soothing ingredients, though acne-prone skin needs a cleanser that also provides strong oil control and ingredients that target breakouts.

### How often should I use it?

You can use this cleanser twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. It washes away dirt and oil while keeping your skin calm, though acne-prone skin needs a cleanser with stronger oil-controlling ingredients for the best results.

### Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This cleanser is a weak match for your acne-prone skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas, and reviewers moderately complain that it causes breakouts. A cleanser for this skin needs oil-controlling and pore-clearing ingredients to help prevent clogged pores and breakouts.

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

This cleanser is generally safe to use on the body and around the eyes, as it lacks harsh ingredients and contains soothing components that make it unlikely to cause irritation. However, because it is a weak match for acne-prone skin and lacks sufficient ingredients for oil control on oily areas, this skin type needs a cleanser with targeted balancing ingredients and oil-regulating actives.

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
