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

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

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent moisturizing for your oily skin due to glycerin and propanediol, which hydrate and plump the skin, and niacinamide helps with seboregulation.
- While it provides general hydration, it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid to effectively address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The product is generally safe for your oily skin, though the presence of fragrance carries a slight risk of irritation.

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, this lightweight jelly moisturizer is highly praised by users with oily and combination skin for providing a refreshing, non-greasy feel and a radiant "glass skin" finish. However, users with dry skin frequently find it lacks sufficient hydration, and the strong floral fragrance is a common concern for those with sensitive skin.

## How to apply

- Use this AM and PM routine every day to help clear your skin. Always remember to finish with SPF in the morning.
- Apply the moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your SPF during the day.
- Gently press a small amount into your skin and avoid rubbing to keep pores clear.
- Apply on clean, slightly damp skin to help the product absorb better and control oil.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a simple patch test before your first use.

## Questions and answers

### How well does innisfree Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream work for oily acne-prone skin?

This moisturizer works reasonably well for oily skin by keeping it hydrated and soft, but it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid to address breakouts. Oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, oil-free formulas with soothing ingredients and acne-fighting components that clear blemishes without clogging pores.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Glycerin and propanediol help keep your oily skin hydrated, while niacinamide helps balance oil. This skin needs a moisturizer with ingredients that clear breakouts like salicylic acid and avoid heavy oils.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Cherry Blossom Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?

Cherry blossom extract helps calm red and irritated skin, making it a soothing choice for oily and acne-prone skin. It may reduce redness and irritation when used in your daily routine.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25065693/)

### What does Niacinamide do for oily acne-prone skin?

Niacinamide helps balance oil production, calms redness, and is unlikely to irritate oily, acne-prone skin while improving blemishes. Clinical tests show it reduces excess oil and helps clear up both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne breakouts.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16766489/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38299457/)

### Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?

This moisturizer goes after your cleanser and hydrating toner in the morning, and after your makeup remover, cleanser, cleansing toner, and treatment in the evening. Daily use helps keep your skin hydrated and balanced, though oily acne-prone skin also needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid to effectively address breakouts.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

You can use this moisturizer with retinol by applying the cream first to keep your skin soft and smooth, though an occasional fragrance in the formula may carry a slight risk of irritation. A barrier-enhancing moisturizer helps support your skin while using treatments like retinol.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizer daily in both your morning and evening routines to keep your oily skin hydrated. Twice-daily application helps maintain moisture and balance while being generally safe for your skin, though the added fragrance carries a slight risk of irritation.
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 acne-prone skin?

This cream is unlikely to clog your pores, but it may not prevent breakouts since it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid to clear blemishes. A product for oily acne-prone skin needs blemish-fighting ingredients and oil-balancing agents to properly manage breakouts.
Sources: [Molecules, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34771112/)

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

You can use this moisturizer on your body and around the eyes, though the skin on the body is generally thicker while the skin around the eyes is much thinner. This product is generally safe for the skin, but a product of this type needs targeted blemish-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid and soothing extras to properly care for acne-prone areas.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/)

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
