Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate cleansing for your normal skin, as lauric acid and myristic acid effectively cleanse pores, while niacinamide and rice extract provide antioxidant activity and barrier repair.
  • While the formula is generally suitable for your skin type, it lacks specialized ingredients in concentrations that would directly target and soothe your redness and irritation.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use your cleanser in the AM and PM routines every day. Start using it daily since your sensitive skin needs gentle care.
  • Apply this first in your morning and evening skincare routine before toner and moisturizer. This clears away dirt without upsetting your skin.
  • Gently massage a small amount onto your face using soft circles. Avoid any rough rubbing to keep redness away.
  • Apply the cleanser on slightly damp skin to help it wash away impurities softly. Clean skin feels fresh and comfortable afterwards.
  • Avoid getting the cleanser in your eyes and do a quick patch test before first use. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

People Say

★3.7Overall rating based on 100+ reviews

Based on limited data, user experiences with this cleanser are polarized. While some users with oily skin appreciate its deep cleansing and oil-controlling abilities, a significant number of reviewers find it overly stripping and drying. The product is praised for its rich lather and makeup removal, but cautioned against for sensitive skin due to potential eye irritation and a high pH level.

Questions and answers

How well does GLAMFOX Rice Niacinamide Foam Cleanser work for sensitive skin?

GLAMFOX Rice Niacinamide Foam Cleanser works moderately well for sensitive skin, as it cleanses pores and repairs the skin barrier with niacinamide and rice extract, but it lacks specialized ingredients to directly soothe redness and irritation. To fit this skin better, a cleanser needs extra hydrating and soothing ingredients that calm redness while cleansing gently without stripping moisture.

International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2018

Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for sensitive skin?

Niacinamide and rice extract make this cleanser a good fit because they provide antioxidant activity and help repair the skin barrier. To truly soothe redness and irritation on sensitive skin, this type of product needs specialized soothing ingredients and extra barrier-repairing components like ceramides.

International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2018

What does Niacinamide do for sensitive skin?

Niacinamide helps calm sensitive skin by strengthening the skin barrier and reducing redness and irritation. It is very well tolerated and may improve overall comfort and resilience with regular use.

Cutis, 2005Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004

What does Rice Extract do for sensitive skin?

Rice extract helps calm and protect sensitive skin while reducing redness and irritation. It also provides strong antioxidant support and helps keep skin moisturized and smooth.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2018

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

This cleanser goes in your morning and evening routine, before your soothing toner and moisturizer. It is safe for sensitive skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients, though a product of this type for your skin needs specialized soothing ingredients that directly target and calm redness and irritation.

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

You can use this cleanser with retinol, applying it before your retinol step to wash your face. Cleansers of this type work best for sensitive skin when they include calming plant extracts and barrier-restoring ceramides to prevent irritation.

How often should I use this cleanser?

You can use this cleanser daily as part of your morning and evening routine, because its safe formula works well for everyday cleansing without harsh ingredients. A consistent daily cleansing routine helps improve overall skin condition and maintains a healthy barrier.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022

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

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin since it lacks heavy pore-clogging ingredients. However, it may leave skin feeling dry and stripped, so sensitive skin types need a gentle cleanser with extra soothing ingredients and a lower pH to keep the skin calm and comfortable.

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

Yes, you can use this cleanser on your body, but the skin around your eyes is very thin and may need extra gentle care. While the formula is generally safe for your skin type, a cleanser for the eye area needs extra gentle, hydrating ingredients to avoid irritation.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002

Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
