Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Gold

Topically applied gold visibly diminishes acne lesions, softens fine lines, and refines enlarged pores. It suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well when chosen in rich creams and targeted eye creams. Because it layers easily, this ingredient integrates smoothly into a daily skincare routine.

Questions and answers

What does gold do for the skin?

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2015Dermatologic Therapy, 2021

How do you use gold?

Gold is used in professional photothermal treatments with laser pulses, such as for reducing acne lesions and improving signs of photoaging.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2015Dermatologic Therapy, 2021

Should you use gold in the morning or at night?

Gold treatments do not have a specific time of day requirement listed for daily skincare routines, as the ingredient is typically used in specialized clinical photothermal procedures rather than standard home products.

Can you use gold every day?

Gold treatments are typically applied in professional or clinical settings rather than as a standard daily skincare routine. Studies evaluating topical gold microparticles and nanoparticles for acne and photoaging involve specific laser or photothermal procedures administered periodically rather than daily use at home.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2015Dermatologic Therapy, 2021

Does gold cause purging or irritation?

Gold is unlikely to cause serious adverse effects or irritation based on clinical studies. Photothermal treatments using gold particles showed significant improvements in skin conditions without serious adverse effects.
