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.

Works for oily acne-prone skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as glycerin and panthenol provide excellent hydration and enhance barrier resilience, though it lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients for optimal oil control.
- The formula provides general skincare benefits like hydration due to ingredients such as Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate, which are supportive but not specifically targeted for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

## Key ingredients

Betula Alba Juice, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Glycerin, Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract

## What the research says

- Topical 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, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/))
- 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/))
- A new topical panthenol-containing emollient significantly improved transepidermal water loss reduction, stratum corneum hydration, and intercellular lipid lamellae length compared with control in healthy subjects without negatively impacting bacterial viability. ([The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/))
- Emulgels containing Perilla frutescens seed oil, Moringa oleifera seed oil, and mixed seed oil microemulsions exhibit good stability, lack of cytotoxicity in PBMC, and no skin irritation or allergic reactions in human subjects. ([Polymers, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35745923/))
- Betula alba bark extract and Empetrum nigrum fruit juice upregulated barrier genes, strengthened the skin barrier, and showed significantly better skin restructuring, hydration, and TEWL compared to placebo and 3% niacinamide. ([International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36293365/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction. ([Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34623507/))
- Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))
- Moisturizer 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, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30945430/))
- Topical dexpanthenol formulated in lipophilic vehicles improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in humans. ([Arzneimittel-Forschung, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10965426/))
- Hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid plus dexpanthenol, and isotonic saline nasal sprays all significantly improved dry nose symptoms over four weeks in 240 patients, with hyaluronic acid plus dexpanthenol providing superior nasal moisturisation compared to the other two. ([Auris, Nasus, Larynx, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32067777/))
- 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/))
- Aqueous standardized leaf extracts of Moringa oleifera showed the highest human dermal fibroblast and human keratinocyte proliferation and migration properties, leading to the development of an alginate-pectin film dressing with optimal physicochemical properties. ([Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29080829/))
- Topical administration of Moringa oleifera seed extract on excision wounds in male albino rabbits significantly increased the wound healing rate, elevated TGF-β1, VEGF, and Type I collagen relative expression, and reduced inflammatory markers like IL-1β and TNF-α compared to untreated and MEBO-treated groups. ([Antioxidants, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36139817/))
- Moringa oleifera leaf extracts provided significant UV protection with an SPF of 2 at 2% to 4% concentrations and showed no significant irritant potential in cosmetic formulations. ([Molecules, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29543741/))

## Why other moisturizers 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. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/))
- A facial serum containing snail secretion filtrate, Calendula officinalis, and Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract significantly reduced inflammatory acne lesions compared to placebo in 66 participants with mild-to-moderate maskne over 12 weeks. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35763437/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream work for oily acne-prone skin?

This moisturizer works moderately well for your oily acne-prone skin because glycerin and panthenol provide hydration and support your skin barrier, though it lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients for optimal shine management. It is unlikely to cause irritation, but a product for this skin type needs oil-regulating ingredients and lightweight, non-clogging hydration to properly manage breakouts and excess oil.

### Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily acne-prone skin?

Glycerin and panthenol make this cream a good fit for your oily acne-prone skin because they provide solid hydration and strengthen your skin barrier. However, an ideal moisturizer for this skin type also needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine and targeted ingredients to help clear blemishes.
Sources: [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Birch Juice do for oily acne-prone skin?

Birch juice helps calm oily and acne-prone skin by reducing redness and soothing irritation while boosting hydration. It is unlikely to cause issues and may help keep the skin barrier strong and comfortable.
Sources: [Archives of Dermatological Research, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36961534/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily acne-prone skin?

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

This cream goes toward the end of your morning and evening routines as your moisturizer, after your toner or treatment and before sunscreen in the day. It provides good hydration for your skin, though an oily acne-prone skin type needs a product with oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine and breakouts best.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying the cream after your retinol treatment to help keep your skin calm and hydrated. Using a moisturizer with retinol is unlikely to cause irritation and may help reduce dryness and flaking while supporting your skin barrier.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this cream daily in the morning and evening as part of your routine. It is unlikely to cause irritation on your oily skin, though an oily acne-prone skin needs a moisturizer with oil-controlling ingredients for optimal balance.

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause irritation for your oily skin because it has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients. However, to truly care for acne-prone skin, a moisturizer of this type needs added ingredients that help control excess oil and target blemishes.
Sources: [Polymers, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35745923/)

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

You can use this cream on your body and around your eyes, as it is unlikely to irritate your skin and provides good hydration. The eyelid skin is very thin, but ingredients like glycerin and panthenol help keep it soft and comfortable.
