This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry skin: flakiness, tightness, dehydration, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for dry skin; the cleansers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate cleansing for your dry skin as Witch Hazel Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract help cleanse pores, while Olea Europaea Oil Fruit Olive Oil Fruit provides emollient action but lacks sufficient humectants for optimal hydration.
- The formula provides general skincare benefits, including hydration and cleansing, which are supportive but not directly targeted at alleviating dryness or flakiness.

## Key ingredients

Witch Hazel Extract, Olea Europaea Oil Fruit Olive Oil Fruit, Portulaca Oleracea Extract

## What the research says

- Facial masks containing low-temperature extracted Portulaca oleracea protect sensitive skin from photothermal stimulation and improve skin barrier function during photorejuvenation. ([Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41182319/))
- Hamamelis bark proanthocyanidins strongly increased the proliferation of cultured human keratinocytes and reduced transepidermal water loss and erythema formation in SLS-irritated skin, whereas the polysaccharide fraction had no effect. ([Phytochemistry, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11684194/))
- A Hamamelis virginiana leaf extract increased LOXL1 expression twofold, decreased elafin synthesis, restored functional elastic fibers, reduced nonfunctional elastin aggregates, decreased wrinkles, and improved skin firmness. ([Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30052192/))
- Witch hazel bark extract and hamamelitannin showed pronounced anti-inflammatory activity, supported keratinocyte migration in a wound healing assay, and inhibited Staphylococcus aureus growth, whereas their skin microbiota metabolite ellagic acid stimulated inflammatory mediator release. ([Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40819781/))
- Hamamelis virginiana bark extract inhibited Cutibacterium acnes-induced IL-6 release and TNF-α-induced IL-8 release in human keratinocytes without showing antibacterial or antibiofilm activities. ([Antioxidants, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35740016/))
- Topical purslane at 5% and 10% concentrations achieved alleviation of symptoms and lesion remission comparable to topical 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide in 34 subjects with oral lichen planus over 90 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37726676/))
- Portulaca oleracea extract ameliorated skin barrier damage and inflammation induced by combined exposure to glycolic acid and UVB in HaCaT cells. ([Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35920724/))
- Topical application of a crude extract of Portulaca oleracea accelerates wound healing by decreasing wound surface area and increasing tensile strength in Mus musculus JVI-1, with the greatest contraction achieved at a single dose of 50mg compared to other dosages. ([Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12963132/))

## Why other cleansers fit dry skin better

- A formulation containing glycerol (5%) and xylitol (5%) applied twice daily for 14 days increased skin hydration, filaggrin protein quantity, interdigitation index, and biomechanical properties, and decreased transepidermal water loss compared to untreated and vehicle-treated skin in twelve volunteers with dry skin. ([Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27349297/))
- Phytosphingosine increased filaggrin metabolism and skin hydration in human skin by stimulating filaggrin biosynthesis and degradation leading to natural moisturizing factor formation. ([Archives of Dermatological Research, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28936777/))
- 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/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Arencia Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser a weak match for dry skin?

This cleanser is a weak match for dry skin because it cleans pores and softens with olive oil, but it lacks enough moisture-holding ingredients for deep hydration and does not target flakiness. A cleanser for this skin needs essential ceramides, sodium hyaluronate, and niacinamide for optimal hydration and barrier support.

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a poor fit for dry skin?

This cleanser is a weak match for dry skin because it lacks sufficient moisture-holding ingredients to keep dry skin hydrated. A cleanser for dry skin needs deep hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.

### What does Witch Hazel Extract do for dry skin?

Witch hazel extract helps calm irritated or dry skin by reducing redness and soothing the outer layer. It also supports moisture retention, making the skin feel more comfortable and less prone to tightness.
Sources: [Phytochemistry, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11684194/)

### What does Olive Oil do for dry skin?

Olive oil helps improve hydration and supports epidermal renewal for dry skin, though it may not strengthen the skin barrier as effectively as oils rich in linoleic acid. To truly repair very dry or damaged skin, products of this type need a higher ratio of linoleic acid and soothing ingredients that protect the skin barrier.
Sources: [Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40649050/), [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28707186/)

### Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

This cleanser goes in your morning and evening routine as the first or second cleansing step to help wash away impurities. Because it provides only moderate cleansing and lacks sufficient moisture-attracting ingredients for your dry skin, a cleanser for this skin type needs extra hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

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

You can use this cleanser in your routine before applying retinol, but because it is a weak match for dry skin, this skin type needs a cleanser with rich hydrators to keep it soft and comfortable.

### How often should I use this cleanser?

This cleanser is a weak match for dry skin because it lacks enough moisture-attracting ingredients to properly hydrate dry skin. To properly care for dry skin, a cleanser of this type needs added moisturizing ingredients that pull in hydration and soothe flakiness.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

### Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause purging on dry skin, though some users report a drying after-feel. A cleanser of this type needs rich moisturizing ingredients and powerful moisture-binding components to keep dry skin soft, smooth, and comfortable.

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

This cleanser is unlikely to suit the very thin skin around your eyes or your body because it offers only moderate cleansing and lacks sufficient moisture to care for delicate areas. A product for dry skin needs gentle cleansers and rich moisture-locking ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides to keep skin soft and comfortable.
