Finding the right facial moisturiser for oily skin can be a nightmare. Ideally you'll want something water-based rather than oil-based. A light moisturiser rather than a heavy one. And it's a good idea to read the ingredient list because if a moisturiser contains comedogenic ingredients it can serve to block pores and create breakouts - something we can all do without, oily skin or not.
Of course, the easy option when it comes to finding a great moisturiser for oily skin is to ask the hive mind - aka the wonderful members of Beauty Review who have tried, tested and reported back on their experiences. So which moisturiser hit the spot for those of us with oily skin? Here's five of the best...
1. Trilogy Mattifying Moisturising Lotion
RATED: 4.6/5!
Beauty Review Member HurleyH says: This mattifying moisturiser does what it says! It keeps skin moisturised but keeps oil away. It doesn't leave skin shiny either which I loved and is a lovely base for makeup.
2. Oasis Beauty Knock Out SPF 25
RATED: 4.5/5!
Beauty Review Member golddiamond says: After really struggling with oily skin this year, I was on the hunt for some oil reducing mattifying majical facial moisturizer. Well I found it!! I really do feel this has helped reduce my excess oil, and as soon as you apply the moisturizer you can feel the difference.
3. essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser
RATED: 4.4/5
Beauty Review Member Cass01 says: I have quite oily sensitive skin and other products have dried my skin out whereas this moisturiser is amazing and helps control my oil levels without drying my skin out.
4. Skinfood Light Moisturiser
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member yun says: I’ve got super oily skin and this is the only moisturizer that doesn’t make me even more oily or give me break outs.
5. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member deeturner23 says: This is my go-to morning moisturiser for under my make-up, no primer required despite my usually oily skin. It hydrates without making skin shiny or slick. I just love it.
