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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to shea butter and glycerin, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, while salicylic acid provides mild exfoliation to support acne-prone skin.
- The blend of chamomile and calendula extracts offers soothing benefits, which are supportive for acne-prone skin, though it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target breakouts.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

## What the research says

- A moisturizer containing licochalcone A, 1,2-decanediol, L-carnitine, and salicylic acid significantly reduced noninflammatory, inflammatory, and total acne lesion counts compared to a vehicle control in Thai patients during a 12-week maintenance phase.

- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions.

## What reviewers say

- Liked: Hydrating & Moisturizing (often mentioned)

## Questions and answers

### How well does Eminence Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer work for acne-prone skin?

Eminence Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer works moderately well for acne-prone skin, providing gentle hydration with shea butter and glycerin alongside mild exfoliation from salicylic acid. While soothing extracts help calm the skin, it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target breakouts. A moisturizing treatment for acne-prone skin needs effective ingredients that directly target acne and blemishes, a high suitability without irritation risks, and specialized components to manage breakouts.
Sources: [BioMed Research International, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33150170/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37941097/)

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

This cream contains salicylic acid, chamomile, and calendula, which help gently exfoliate and calm acne-prone skin. However, to be a better fit for this skin type, a product needs targeted ingredients that directly treat breakouts.
Sources: [BioMed Research International, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33150170/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37941097/)

### What does Chamomile do for acne-prone skin?

Chamomile is unlikely to clog pores and may help calm angry breakouts and redness on acne-prone skin. This ingredient is generally very gentle, causing no irritation while helping keep skin comfortable and balanced.
Sources: [Revista Latino-americana de Enfermagem, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30517572/)

### What does Aloe Vera Juice do for acne-prone skin?

Aloe vera juice helps calm acne-prone skin by reducing redness, swelling, and the number of blemishes. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve skin texture when used regularly in your routine.
Sources: [Clinical Pharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588129/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23336746/)

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

This cream is used as a moisturizer in both the morning and evening routine for acne-prone skin. Because this product fits acne-prone skin only moderately, a skincare routine for this skin type needs targeted ingredients like retinoids, specialized blemish-fighting actives, or stronger pore-clearing agents to effectively manage breakouts.

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying the retinol first, letting it absorb, and then following with the moisturizer. This routine helps keep your skin soft and calm while reducing the dryness and irritation that often come with retinol use. To truly clear acne-prone skin, a product of this type needs specialized blemish-fighting ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or targeted retinoids.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37276158/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this cream twice daily as part of your morning and evening routine. Regular use helps keep your skin soft and calm while supporting your skin barrier, though acne-prone skin needs products with targeted active ingredients to directly clear breakouts.
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 acne-prone skin?

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts or irritation on acne-prone skin due to its gentle, soothing ingredients and lack of harsh components, though it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target breakouts. An ideal product for this skin type needs targeted blemish-fighting ingredients and light, non-pore-clogging hydration to fully clear and balance acne-prone skin.

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

This moisturizing treatment is unlikely to cause irritation on the thin skin around the eyes or on the body due to its very safe ingredients and lack of harsh components.

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol). Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
