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.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing and redness reduction for your combination skin, as glycerin provides hydration and Sphingomonas Extract Ferment calms inflammation. Schisandra Sphenanthera Fruit Extract also contributes to soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, addressing your concerns with acne and breakouts.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, containing no harsh or prohibited ingredients that would cause irritation.
- While it offers benefits for acne and blemishes, the product lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas.

## What reviewers say

A significant portion of reviewers with dry skin find it insufficiently moisturizing, often requiring an additional hydration layer, and some struggle with the pump packaging dispensing too little product.

- Liked: Reduces visible redness (mostly mentioned)
- Liked: Lightweight texture (often mentioned)
- Disliked: Not moisturizing enough (often mentioned)
- Liked: Good makeup base (sometimes noted)
- Liked: Soothing sensation (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Poor packaging design (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Tint issues on pale skin (sometimes noted)

## How to apply

- Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
- Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
- Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
- Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

## Questions and answers

### How well does La Roche-Posay Toleriane Rosaliac AR work for acne-prone skin?

This moisturizing treatment works moderately well for acne-prone skin, as glycerin provides hydration and ingredients like Schisandra Sphenanthera Fruit Extract help calm breakouts and soothe irritation. It is safe and unlikely to cause irritation, though it lacks sufficient oil control for oily areas. An acne-prone skin type needs effective ingredients that offer both blemish benefits and targeted oil control.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Glycerin, Thermal Spring Water, Schisandra Sphenanthera Fruit Extract, and Sphingomonas Extract Ferment help calm redness and soothe breakouts. This moisturizing treatment works for your skin, though an acne-prone skin type needs oil-controlling ingredients and blemish-clearing actives to fit best.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Planta Medica, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17611932/)

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

Thermal spring water helps calm acne-prone skin by reducing dryness and stinging while improving overall tolerability when used alongside standard acne care. It may also help manage acne and reduce local irritation.
Sources: [The Medical Journal of Malaysia, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38553920/), [Dermatology and Therapy, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37338719/)

### 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 moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before your final moisturizer, or in the morning before sunscreen. While it helps calm breakouts and soothe irritation, acne-prone skin needs additional oil-controlling ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to keep pores clear.

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

You can use this cream with retinol, and applying it first helps calm your skin and reduces irritation from the retinol. Using a moisturizing treatment alongside retinoids is unlikely to affect your treatment results and may improve your comfort and how well you stick to your routine.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [The Journal of Dermatology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24930436/)

### How often should I use it?

You can use this moisturizing treatment twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine to help keep your skin calm and hydrated. Daily application is unlikely to cause irritation and helps improve overall skin comfort.
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 acne-prone skin?

This cream is unlikely to cause purging since it does not contain active ingredients that speed up cell turnover, but it may feel a bit heavy on acne-prone skin. While it helps calm irritation, this skin type needs a lighter formula with oil-controlling ingredients to prevent clogged pores.

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

This moisturizer is generally safe for use around the eyes, though it is primarily designed for facial care rather than full body application. Products for the thin skin around the eyes and body need gentle, hydrating ingredients and lightweight textures that provide comfort without clogging pores or causing irritation.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
