What This Moisturizer for Oily Skin Does

Many moisturizers feel heavy on oily skin, but skipping moisturizer can make skin produce more oil. This formula aims to hydrate without greasiness. It uses Sebulyse Technology, zinc pidolate and LHA to manage shine and refine the appearance of pores, giving a velvety matte look through the day.

The texture is light and absorbs quickly, and the formula is non-comedogenic and paraben-free.

What Is Inside

The formula includes Sebulyse Technology, zinc pidolate and LHA. It is oil-free and designed so that it does not clog pores.

How to Use It

Apply to clean skin morning and night. Use a pea-sized amount for the face and smooth it in until it is absorbed. It layers well under makeup and sunscreen.

Who Should Use It

It suits oily and combination skin, shiny T-zones and anyone who wants a matte, oil-free base for makeup. If your skin is dry, a richer cream may be more comfortable.

Where It Fits in a Routine

After cleansing and any treatment serum, apply this moisturizer, then sunscreen in the morning. Pair it with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser.

Understanding the Key Ingredients

Zinc pidolate is a zinc salt used in oily-skin care for its role in the look of balanced sebum. LHA, a lipo-hydroxy acid derived from salicylic acid, gently exfoliates the surface of skin and is used to keep pores looking clear and refined. Together with the brand Sebulyse Technology, they target shine and the look of enlarged pores without drying the skin out.

Tips for Oily and Combination Skin

Choose a gentle foaming or gel cleanser rather than a harsh one, because stripping the skin can make it produce more oil. Use blotting papers in the T-zone instead of layering powder, and wear sunscreen daily. If you use acids or retinol, apply them before the moisturizer and introduce them slowly. Give any new moisturizer at least four weeks to judge results.
