Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing benefits for your combination skin, with shea butter and glycerin providing hydration and nourishment without excessive oiliness.
- While Rose Extract offers soothing properties, the formula lacks targeted ingredients to address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The product is safe for your combination skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that would cause irritation.
How to apply
- You can use this creamy mask as part of your PM routine once a week. Start 3×/week if your skin tolerates it well.
- Apply the creamy mask after cleansing and toning, but always before your moisturizer .
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask over your face while avoiding any harsh rubbing. Let it sit ⏱ for the recommended time before rinsing.
- Apply the creamy mask on clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your very first use.
People Say
★4.7Overall rating based on 1.5k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this mask is highly regarded by users with mature, dull, or dehydrated skin for its ability to provide an immediate plumping, brightening, and softening effect. A significant number of reviews highlight its instant radiance-boosting and deeply hydrating properties, along with a luxurious feel. The most frequently mentioned drawback is the high price point, though a small number of users find the rose fragrance too strong or the texture not rich enough for very dry skin.

Questions and answers
How well does Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask work for acne-prone skin?
Sisley Paris Black Rose Cream Mask works as an average fit for acne-prone skin because, while it provides soothing properties and hydration with glycerin and shea butter, it lacks targeted ingredients to address breakouts. To truly fit this skin well, a product of this type needs effective soothing ingredients like niacinamide, retinol, or Centella Asiatica that calm blemishes and target acne while keeping the skin balanced.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for acne-prone skin?
Glycerin, squalane, and shea butter make this cream a reasonable fit by helping provide moisture without feeling overly heavy or greasy on your skin. However, this product needs targeted soothing ingredients and acne-fighting components like niacinamide, retinol, or Centella asiatica to properly care for breakouts.
What does Black Rose Extract do for acne-prone skin?
Products containing black rose extract help calm acne-prone skin and reduce the redness and irritation often associated with breakouts. Because it offers a gentle touch without harsh side effects, it is generally safe for everyday use.
What does Shea Butter do for acne-prone skin?
Shea butter can feel quite heavy on acne-prone skin, as it is very rich and may clog pores and lead to breakouts. If you have acne-prone skin, a product of this type needs lightweight, non-clogging ingredients that hydrate without trapping oil.
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
This nourishing mask fits into a skincare routine for acne-prone skin as an occasional treatment, though other products fit this skin type better. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients and lightweight hydrators to calm skin without clogging pores, along with targeted ingredients to help manage blemishes.
Molecules, 2020Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask along with retinol by applying it after your retinol treatment to help keep your skin calm and moisturized. This type of product works well for acne-prone skin when it includes soothing ingredients and components that actively target breakouts.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this nourishing mask weekly as part of your routine. It offers moderate hydration for your acne-prone skin without feeling overly oily, though this type of skin needs targeted breakout-clearing ingredients to properly address blemishes.
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?
This mask is unlikely to cause irritation on acne-prone skin, but it lacks targeted ingredients to actively address breakouts and blemishes. A product for this skin needs soothing agents and blemish-fighting ingredients to help keep pores clear.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (linalool, citronellol, and geraniol).
What the research says
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, 2017Treatment with a rose extract activated newly identified skin olfactory receptors and prevented epinephrine-induced skin stress responses in epidermal keratinocytes and human skin explants, while clinically decreasing the appearance of under-eye dark circles in stressed women.
Molecules, 2020A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events.
Lasers in Medical Science, 2025A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025The 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, 2020Ten 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, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.

Molecules, 2025Plant-derived squalane protected human dermal fibroblasts against UVA-induced damage by counteracting ROS formation, suppressing apoptosis-related proteins p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and PARP, and restoring the pro-survival p-Akt/mTOR pathway.
Antioxidants, 2025Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002Moisturizer containing 5% panthenol, madecassoside, and copper-zinc-manganese decreased adverse reactions and downtime after ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing with comparable efficacy to 0.02% triamcinolone acetonide cream in 20 subjects.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019Topical dexpanthenol formulated in lipophilic vehicles improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in humans.

Why other nourishing masks fit acne-prone skin better
Co-delivery of paeonol and madecassoside via nanoemulsions improved transdermal delivery, promoted barrier repair proteins, inhibited inflammatory cytokine secretion in cellular and 3D models, and reduced transepidermal water loss and acne in human facial skin compared to free components.
