Face Moisturisers for Oily Skin

Oily skin still needs moisture. The key is finding a face moisturiser that provides comfortable hydration without feeling unnecessarily rich or heavy. At Evergreen, you'll find moisturisers for oily skin from trusted skincare brands, including lightweight lotions, gels and hydrating face creams for everyday use.

How to Choose a Moisturiser for Oily Skin

Texture is a useful place to start. If your skin becomes oily throughout the day, you may prefer a lightweight lotion, fluid or gel rather than a very rich cream. Look for a formula that absorbs comfortably and works well alongside the other products in your skincare routine.

Remember that oily skin can also feel dehydrated, so avoiding moisturiser altogether isn't necessarily the answer.

What Ingredients Are Good for Oily Skin?

Many moisturisers for oily skin use lightweight hydrating ingredients alongside carefully balanced formulations.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that helps attract and retain moisture. It is commonly used in lightweight facial skincare, including serums, gels and moisturisers.

Glycerin

Glycerin is another widely used humectant that helps attract moisture and can be found in many different moisturiser textures.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is commonly included in lightweight skincare formulas designed to provide hydration and a soothing feel.

Rather than focusing on one particular ingredient, consider the complete formula and how it feels on your skin.

Can Oily Skin Be Dehydrated?

Yes. Oil and water are different, so skin can produce plenty of oil while still lacking hydration. If your skin feels tight after cleansing but becomes oily later in the day, a lightweight hydrating moisturiser may be worth considering. Avoid assuming that the lightest or most drying skincare routine will necessarily be the best option for oily skin.

Should You Use an Oil-Free Moisturiser?

Some people with oily skin prefer oil-free moisturisers because they enjoy the lighter texture. However, an oil-free label isn't the only thing that determines whether a moisturiser will suit oily skin. Some formulas containing oils can still feel lightweight, while some oil-free creams may have a richer texture.

Consider the complete formulation and choose according to how the product feels on your skin.

Oily or Combination Skin?

Oily and combination skin are not quite the same. Oily skin generally tends to produce more oil across much of the face. With combination skin, oiliness is often concentrated around the forehead, nose and chin while other areas may feel normal or dry.

If that sounds more like your skin, explore our Moisturisers for Combination Skin collection.

What About Oily and Sensitive Skin?

It's possible for oily skin to be sensitive too. In this case, look for a lightweight moisturiser while also considering whether the overall formulation is appropriate for sensitive skin.

Day and Night Moisturisers for Oily Skin

You don't necessarily need separate moisturisers for morning and evening. A lightweight moisturiser may work perfectly well for both. Alternatively, you may find that you prefer a slightly different texture at night depending on how your skin feels. During the day, choose a moisturiser that sits comfortably beneath your Facial SPF.

Building a Skincare Routine for Oily Skin

A simple routine is a good place to start. Use a suitable Face Cleanser, followed by any serum you use and then your moisturiser. During the day, finish with an appropriate facial SPF. Try not to over-cleanse simply because your skin is oily. Instead, pay attention to how your skin responds to your routine.
