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

A great choice for acne-prone skin; a few cleansers fit it even better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent cleansing for your acne-prone skin, as salicylic acid and willow bark extract work to exfoliate and decongest pores, while Morinda Citrifolia Extract and Panthenol provide supportive soothing benefits.
- This formula is moderately suitable for your combination skin, offering mild exfoliation and potential soothing effects, though it may not provide optimal sebum regulation for oil control.
- The product has a high safety profile with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing agents like Panthenol and Allantoin.
