Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin as glycerin and citrus aurantium dulcis fruit water provide hydration, but it lacks sufficient emollient or occlusive ingredients for optimal moisture retention.
- The cleansing agents, sodium cocoyl isethionate and cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, effectively remove impurities without stripping your dry skin.
- The product is safe for your dry skin, containing no prohibited or harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.
How to apply
- Use this cleanser AM and PM every day to keep your skin clean. Start using it daily right away since your skin is not sensitive.
- Apply this cleanser as the very first step in your morning routine and right after your pre-cleanser in the evening. Follow with your toner and moisturizer afterwards.
- Gently massage a small amount of cleanser onto your face using soft circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
- Apply this cleanser on slightly damp skin for a comfortable and refreshing wash. This helps maintain your skin's natural moisture while cleansing away dirt.
- Avoid getting the cleanser directly into your eyes to prevent any irritation. Do a simple patch test before your first use to ensure your skin likes it.

Questions and answers
How well does OLEHENRIKSEN Truth Juice work for dry skin?
This cleanser works moderately well for your dry skin, as its fruit water and glycerin provide hydration while gentle cleansing agents wash away impurities without stripping moisture. However, it lacks enough heavy moisturizing ingredients to lock in hydration. A cleanser for dry skin needs extra hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or niacinamide to keep moisture locked in.
Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for dry skin?
Glycerin and fruit water help make this cleanser a decent fit for dry skin by providing hydration while washing away impurities without stripping moisture. However, a cleanser for this skin type needs extra softening and sealing ingredients like essential ceramides and sodium hyaluronate to properly lock in hydration and support the moisture barrier.
What does Fruit Water do for dry skin?
Fruit water helps dry skin by boosting hydration and keeping it soft and smooth. It is unlikely to cause irritation and works well to improve overall skin comfort.
What does Polyhydroxy Acid do for dry skin?
Polyhydroxy Acid helps keep dry skin hydrated and comfortable while smoothing its surface without causing irritation or barrier damage. It effectively binds moisture and supports the skin barrier while delivering gentle anti-aging benefits.
Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This cleanser is used in the morning and evening as the first step of your routine. Because it provides moderate suitability for dry skin by giving hydration while lacking rich softening or sealing ingredients, a dry skin routine needs additional moisturizing creams or richer ingredients to lock in moisture.
Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cleanser with retinol, applying the cleanser first to clean your skin before your retinol treatment. A cleanser for dry skin also needs rich softening ingredients and protective barriers to lock in moisture.
How often should I use this cleanser?
You can use this cleanser daily as part of your morning and evening routine, because its mild cleansing ingredients effectively wash away impurities without stripping dry skin. To keep dry skin comfortable, a cleanser of this type needs added richer moisturizing creams or oils to lock in hydration.
Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin because it contains no heavy oils or harsh ingredients that typically trigger blemishes. However, since dry skin needs extra help to stay comfortable, this skin type works best with cleansers that also add rich oils or butters to lock in moisture.
Can I use this cleanser around the eyes or on my body?
This cleanser works safely on the thin skin around the eyes and on the body because it removes impurities without stripping moisture, though dry skin needs a cleanser with richer oils or butters to lock in hydration.
Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (limonene and linalool).
What the research says
Sodium cocoyl isethionate micelles are too large to penetrate stratum corneum aqueous pores, resulting in significant steric hindrance that prevents skin barrier perturbation and explains its skin mildness.
Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007Betula 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, 2022A cosmetic cream with 6% wild apple fruit water extract showed good stability, antioxidant activity, no skin irritation, increased skin hydration, and a bleaching effect on artificially induced skin hyperpigmentation in human volunteers.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018Opuntia humifusa fruit water extract suppressed solar ultraviolet-induced MMP-1 expression and reactive oxygen species generation while recovering TIMP-1 and type 1 collagen production in ex vivo human skin and human dermal fibroblasts.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018Quercus acuta Thunb. fruit water extract prevents UVB-induced skin photoaging in human keratinocytes by reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting MMP-1 expression, and preventing collagen degradation via inactivation of the ERK/AP-1 signaling pathway.
BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2022Limonene protects immortalized human skin keratinocytes against UVB-induced photodamage and photoaging by increasing cell viability, inhibiting intracellular ROS generation, suppressing alpha-MSH secretion, and preventing depletion of tight junction proteins through activation of the Nrf2-dependent antioxidant defense system.
Environmental Toxicology, 2022Topical application of Foeniculum vulgare compounds fenchone and limonene increased wound contraction and re-epithelialization in rats compared to untreated and sham control groups over 10 days.
Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2017Cold pressed terpeneless Valencia orange oil completely inhibited Campylobacter jejuni and reduced cells attached to chicken skin by 1.5 to 2 logarithms compared to control, while showing variable inhibition against Campylobacter coli and Arcobacter spp.
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2009Glycolic acid, salicylic acid, gluconolactone, and licochalcone A combined with 0.1% adapalene showed no hindrance compared to adapalene monotherapy and provided benefits in reducing complications in 25 subjects with mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019Gluconolactone and tartaric acid significantly lower transepidermal water loss and erythema after sodium lauryl sulphate challenge compared to vehicle, untreated control, and glycolic acid in healthy subjects.
The British Journal of Dermatology, 1997Gluconolactone 14% solution significantly improved mild to moderate acne by reducing inflamed and non-inflamed lesions similarly to 5% benzoyl peroxide, but with fewer side-effects in 150 patients.
The Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1992Topical treatments containing rosehip extract may reduce the size and erythema of postsurgical scars through macrophage polarization and inflammatory cytokine inhibition, though current clinical evidence remains insufficient to recommend its routine use.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024Sunflower and rosehip oil nanoemulsions prepared with a mix of phospholipids and synthetic emulsifiers permeated intact skin to the dermis and showed a more prominent healing effect in a human organotypic skin explant culture wound model compared to nanoemulsions prepared only with phospholipids.
Pharmaceutics, 2023Topical treatment with rosehip seed oil stimulates hair growth in telogenic C57BL/6 mice by inducing the early transition of hair follicles from the telogen to the anagen phase and upregulating hair growth-associated genes.
Preventive Nutrition and Food Science, 2023
Why other cleansers fit dry skin better
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, 2017Topical dexpanthenol formulated in lipophilic vehicles improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in humans.
