The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Kingdom.

Brand: [Haruharu Wonder](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/brands/haruharu-wonder)
Category: [Makeup removers](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/best/makeup-removers)

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.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin, as Rice Bran Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil provide emollient action that hydrates without being overly heavy. While these ingredients offer general cleansing benefits and support for acne-prone skin, they do not directly target acne and blemishes.
- The formulation excels at makeup removal due to Rice Bran Oil and Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, effectively dissolving impurities. However, it lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients for optimal oil control on your combination skin.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your acne-prone skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing agents like Rice Bran Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil.

## What the research says

- A rice bran oil nanoemulsion formulated using low energy methods showed low irritation potential in vitro and improved skin moisture while maintaining normal skin pH in human volunteers during in vivo assessments. ([Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21952107/))
- Clay jojoba oil facial masks reduced total skin lesions by a mean of 54% after 6 weeks in 133 participants with acne-prone, lesioned skin and mild acne compared to baseline. ([Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22585103/))
- Topical application of jojoba wax reduced LPS-induced secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα by approximately 30% and increased the synthesis of pro-collagen III and hyaluronic acid compared to untreated skin in an ex-vivo human skin organ culture model. ([Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38344180/))
- A topical xanthan gum nanogel containing gamma-oryzanol-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers and nanosized TiO2 and MBBT filters demonstrated high photoprotection with an SPF of 34 and no skin irritation or sensitization in a rat model. ([Pharmaceuticals, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37242453/))
- Black rice extract treatment downregulated MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression, increased type I procollagen expression, and reduced reactive oxygen species production in ultraviolet-irradiated HaCaT and human dermal fibroblast skin cells. ([International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29484380/))
- Black rice hydrolyzed peptides induce a dose-dependent increase in hyaluronan synthase 2 gene expression and effectively increase hyaluronan production in HaCaT keratinocytes. ([Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18051758/))
- Nanoencapsulation of rice bran oil in a hydrogel prevented UVB-induced ear edema by 60% and reduced protein carbonylation and NF-κB nuclear translocation by 81% and 87%, respectively, in mice compared to a control hydrogel. ([European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25818120/))
- Topical jojoba oil application in male mice decreased exercise-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression (Il-1b and Il-6 in soleus, Il-1b in gastrocnemius) compared to untreated exercised mice. ([Biomolecules, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41154623/))
- Nanolipidgel formulations with argan or jojoba oil and humectants demonstrate good sensory attributes, instrumental properties, and moisturizing efficacy for cosmetic application. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24772476/))

## Why other pre-cleansers fit acne-prone skin better

- Co-delivery of paeonol and madecassoside via nanoemulsions improved transdermal delivery, promoted barrier repair proteins, inhibited inflammatory cytokine secretion in cellular and 3D models, and reduced transepidermal water loss and acne in human facial skin compared to free components. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does the Haruharu Wonder Deep Cleansing Oil work for acne-prone skin?

This cleansing oil works moderately well for acne-prone skin, dissolving makeup effectively while hydrating without feeling overly heavy. However, it does not directly target blemishes or control oil, so acne-prone skin needs a product with ingredients that soothe breakouts and balance oil production.
Sources: [Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21952107/)

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

Rice Bran Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil make this cleanser a good fit for acne-prone skin by providing gentle moisture without causing irritation. To work even better for this skin type, a cleanser of this type needs specific ingredients that directly target breakouts and help control excess oil.
Sources: [Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21952107/), [Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22585103/)

### What does Black Rice Extract do for acne-prone skin?

Black Rice Extract helps calm angry skin and reduce redness by supporting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may help keep acne-prone skin balanced and clear.
Sources: [Scientific Reports, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33077734/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35587098/)

### What does Rice Bran Oil do for acne-prone skin?

Rice bran oil helps improve skin moisture while maintaining a normal skin pH and has a low irritation potential. However, because it is an average fit for acne-prone skin, a product of this type for this skin needs lightweight, non-clogging ingredients that help calm breakouts and balance oil without heavy greasiness.
Sources: [Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21952107/)

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

This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your regular cleanser. To better fit acne-prone skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that actively control oil and directly target blemishes.

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

You can use this makeup remover in your evening routine before your regular cleanser when using retinol, as it is very safe and unlikely to cause irritation. To work best for acne-prone skin, this type of product needs extra oil-clearing and blemish-targeting ingredients.
Sources: [Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21952107/)

### How often should I use this cleanser?

You can use this makeup remover in the evening as the first step of your PM routine to dissolve makeup and impurities without irritating your skin. It has an excellent safety profile with soothing ingredients, but because it lacks ingredients that actively control oil and breakouts, acne-prone skin needs a cleanser of this type with added blemish-fighting or oil-balancing ingredients.

### Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This cleanser is unlikely to cause irritation on acne-prone skin, but it does not directly target acne or control excess oil. A product for this skin needs ingredients that help balance oil and actively target blemishes.
Sources: [Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21952107/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
