## What the research says

- Cherry blossom extract reduced nitric oxide production by 31.83% in vitro and decreased visual scores and erythema values compared to placebo in volunteers with sodium lauryl sulphate-induced skin irritation. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25065693/))
- Cherry blossom extract at 1, 10, and 100 μg mL-1 increased type-I procollagen in UVB-irradiated normal human dermal fibroblasts by downregulating MAPK/AP-1 to reduce MMP-1 and MMP-3, upregulating TGF-βI/Smad, and facilitating Nrf2/ARE nuclear translocation. ([Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29421853/))
- Cherry blossom extract protects HaCaT cells from UVB-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis by reducing reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, DNA damage, and pro-apoptotic protein expression while increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and Bcl-2 expression. ([Cytotechnology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30874982/))
- 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/))
- All three treatments—benzoyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide plus erythromycin, and the combination of niacinamide, gallic acid, and lauric acid—were effective in reducing acne vulgaris severity in ninety patients over eight weeks. ([Dermatologic Therapy, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32390309/))
- Co-application of curcumin and lauric acid liposomal gel exhibited enhanced antibacterial effect and a two-fold reduction in comedones count and cytokines in a rat ear model compared to the placebo-treated group. ([Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30442066/))
- Glycerosomes loaded with lincomycin and lauric acid incorporated into a carbopol hydrogel achieved a two-fold increase in skin deposition of lincomycin and reduced inflammation, bacterial load, and improved histopathological changes in an acne mouse model compared to lincomycin hydrogel. ([International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37805147/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against Shiseido Future Solution LX Extra Rich Cleansing Foam for acne-prone skin?

This cleanser is a poor match because acne-prone skin needs a product that is exceptionally safe with no risk of irritation, effectively addresses breakouts with soothing ingredients like aloe, and contains gentle cleansing agents that prevent over-drying to maintain skin balance.

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

This cleanser may be a poor fit for acne-prone skin because it lacks the gentle, soothing ingredients and moisture-balancing agents found in better-matched products, needing instead a formulation that calms breakouts without risking irritation.

### What does Cherry Blossom Extract do for acne-prone skin?

Cherry blossom extract helps calm red and irritated acne-prone skin because it has soothing properties. It is unlikely to clog pores and may help keep your skin looking clear and comfortable.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25065693/)

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

This cleanser is a poor match for acne-prone skin, so Lovi advises against using it. Acne-prone skin needs a gentle cleanser that clears pores without heavy oils or clogging ingredients.

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

This cleanser is a poor match for acne-prone skin, so it is best to avoid it, especially when using retinol. Acne-prone skin needs gentle, non-irritating cleansers that support the skin barrier with soothing ingredients rather than rich formulas that may clog pores.

### How often should I use this cleanser?

It is best to avoid using this cleanser on acne-prone skin, as it is a poor match for your skin type. Acne-prone skin needs a gentle cleanser that removes excess oil and impurities without clogging pores or causing irritation.

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

This cleanser is a poor match for acne-prone skin and may clog pores or trigger breakouts because its heavy fatty acids can trap oil and dirt. Acne-prone skin needs lightweight cleansers with soothing ingredients and salicylic acid to keep pores clear.

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

This cleanser is usually too rich and heavy for the delicate skin around the eyes or the body. Cleansers for these areas need to be extra gentle and hydrating, featuring soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides to keep skin soft and calm without irritation.
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, linalool, citronellol, and geraniol).
