The Best Oil Free Moisturisers
What To Use When Your Skin Feels Oily, Greasy And The Breakouts Keep Coming
When you’re hot and bothered and your skin feels shiny and greasy there is nothing worse than a moisturiser that sits on the skin feeling heavy and oily. If you have oily, combination skin you may want to consider an oil free moisturiser, light weight in texture and the ability to keep breakouts at bay. Oil free moisturisers are a god send all year round but particularly in the warmer months.
I have not just studied and drilled down the actives in these moisturisers but they have also been tested on different skin types so you can be sure they have been put through their paces.
These moisturisers all have the same objective and promises, shine free in a lightweight texture with all the hydrating power and without the oily feeling.
Best Oil Free Moisturiser For Oily And Combination Skin
Murad Clarifying Oil Free Water Gel
This is a brilliant non comedogenic moisturiser, meaning it has been tested to confirm it will not block the pores. I have put this product through its paces and tested Murad Clarifying Oil Free Water Gel on a congested skin, skins that were suffering with blackheads, access oil and unbalanced bacteria levels causing spots. Salicylic acid will exfoliate, refine the skin texture and cleanse inside the pores, whilst the microbiome home to thousands of bacteria (some good and some bacteria) is balanced to reduce the bad bacteria from grouping together to cause breakouts. If you have congested, blemish prone skin this would be the best moisturiser for you and you could use this AM & PM if you wanted to.
Best For Sensitive And Congested Skin
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream, the testing of this moisturiser has had the hardest test of them all, think full PPE at least 8hrs a day, every day for 5 days a week. Imagine the skin was red, raw, irritated from the PPE and the bad bacteria levels were 100% overpowering the good bacteria. The skin was inflamed, and breakouts were angry. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream delivers hydration, cools the skin immediately, leaves the skin shine free and is also non comedogenic so will not block the pores. This is fast absorbing so if you think I need something that allows you to apply your make up almost immediately after your skincare this is perfect. The shine is reduced, the oil flow is decreased. and the skin is less angry, soft, and hydrated with not a hint of shine to be seen anywhere.
Best For Dry, Thirsty And Dehydrated Skin
Clinique Moisture Surge
Clinique Moisture Surge 100-hour auto replenishing hydrator, I have been so impressed with this moisturiser it has now featured in two blogs so you might get the hint I really love it, it first appeared on the blog about moisturisers that are best for spring and summer (here The Best Spring And Summer Moisturisers — Fiona Brackenbury). Clinique Moisture Surge 100-hour auto replenishing hydrator is loaded with skincare ingredients that you know and love and are guaranteed to work.

With both aloe vera leaf water and leaf extract, which by the way has been fermented to increase the humectant performance of an already brilliant moisture magnet. Not forgetting the most famous humectant of them all, hyaluronic acid also attracting and drawing in moisture to hydrate the cells and lactococcus ferment lysate, which is all round superstar ingredient – increasing cell renewal, enhances the skins barrier function, delivers probiotics and improves cell cohesion which is essential for a dehydrated skin.
