This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for oily skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate benefits for your oily skin, as Centella Asiatica Extract and its derivatives provide excellent soothing and barrier-enhancing effects, though it lacks targeted ingredients for controlling oily shine.
- While the formula is highly suitable for oily skin and offers general hydration, it does not directly address your primary concern of oily shine.
- The product is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol.

## What reviewers say

This gel-cream moisturizer is widely praised by users with oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin for its lightweight, cooling texture that effectively reduces redness and calms active breakouts.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Torriden Balanceful Cica Cream work for oily skin?

This cream works moderately well for oily skin by providing gentle moisture and soothing care, but it lacks ingredients to actively control oily shine. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that manage excess oil without clogging pores to fit this skin best.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

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

Centella asiatica extract and panthenol make this cream a good fit for oily skin because they help calm the skin and support its barrier without causing irritation. Oily skin of this type needs a lightweight texture with ingredients that control shine and hydration without heavy oils.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

### What does Centella Asiatica Extract do for oily skin?

Centella Asiatica Extract helps calm redness and keeps oily skin feeling balanced by soothing irritation and supporting moisture levels. It is unlikely to feel heavy, and products of this type for oily skin need ingredients that control excess shine while maintaining hydration.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/), [Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.
Sources: [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28163068/)

### Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This moisturizing treatment works well as the moisturizer step in your morning or evening routine. While it offers soothing benefits, an oily skin type needs a lightweight moisturizer with targeted ingredients for controlling oily shine.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying your retinol first and following it with this moisturizer. This product helps calm and keep skin comfortable while using strong treatments, though oily skin of this type needs added ingredients that specifically control excess shine.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### How often should I use it?

You can use this moisturizing treatment twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. Regular daily application helps keep your skin hydrated and calm, though oily skin also needs targeted ingredients for controlling shine.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts on oily skin, as it has a safe formula with soothing ingredients like centella asiatica extract and panthenol that are very well tolerated. Reviewers occasionally mention breakouts, but harsh ingredients are absent.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/), [Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/)

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

Torriden Balanceful Cica Cream is suitable for use on the body and around the eyes, as its gentle formula provides safe, general hydration and soothing benefits without harsh ingredients. This type of skin needs lightweight, deeply hydrating ingredients and barrier-supporting extracts to stay soft and comfortable in thinner or wider areas.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
