## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, this cream is highly regarded for its lightweight, non-greasy hydration, making it suitable for combination and oily skin types. It effectively supports the skin barrier and provides a dewy finish. However, users with very dry skin or those in colder climates find it lacks sufficient moisture. Some users also find the fragrance too strong or irritating, and a small number report breakouts or dislike the jar packaging.

## Questions and answers

### How well does innisfree Green Tea Seed Cream work for oily acne-prone skin?

This cream works moderately well for oily acne-prone skin, providing balanced hydration and soothing benefits without causing major irritation. However, oily skin needs a moisturizer with lightweight textures, powerful blemish-fighting ingredients, and zero heavy oils to control excess shine and prevent clogged pores.
Sources: [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?

Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil and Lactobacillus Lysate Ferment help your oily skin with antioxidant activity and barrier repair, while Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin provide good hydration. This cream works for your skin, though an average fit of this type needs lightweight hydration, no heavy oils, and ingredients that support the skin barrier without clogging pores or adding excess oil.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Green Tea Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?

Green tea extract helps calm oily, acne-prone skin by reducing excess oil and calming redness. Applying it topically may decrease breakouts and soothe irritation caused by UV rays.
Sources: [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23096708/), [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22763784/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily acne-prone skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps calm oily acne-prone skin by reducing sebum production and lipid synthesis in sebaceous glands. It also supports skin barrier function and improves hydration while helping deliver treatments without causing irritation.
Sources: [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28163068/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35796638/)

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

This moisturizer goes after your hydrating toner and before your SPF in the morning, and after your treatment in the evening. Because it offers an average fit for oily and acne-prone skin, a moisturizer for this skin type needs lightweight hydrators like sodium hyaluronate and glycerin, alongside soothing ingredients like allantoin and green tea extract to keep pores clear and calm.
Sources: [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 cream with retinol by applying the retinol first and following with this moisturizer to help keep your skin calm and hydrated. Using a moisturizer with retinol is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve your skin's comfort while you use active treatments.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [The Journal of Dermatology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24930436/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizer twice a day, in the morning and evening, as part of your routine. Daily use of a moisturizer of this type helps keep skin soft and supports the moisture barrier, though oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that balance oil and soothe breakouts without feeling heavy.
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 cause breakouts for your oily acne-prone skin, as it features soothing ingredients that help minimize irritation risks. However, because this is an average fit, oily and acne-prone skin needs a moisturizer with lightweight, non-pore-clogging hydrators and blemish-clearing botanical extracts.

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

You can use this cream around your eyes and on your body, as its hydrating ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate suit thinner skin well. Regular application helps keep skin soft and smooth while maintaining good skin tolerance.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

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