The 15 Best Moisturizers for Oily Skin, According to Dermatologists And Estheticians

Have oily skin? Or maybe combination — shiny in the T-zone, but dry or balanced in the rest of your face? Or are you just acne-prone? Chances are, you’re one of these three most common skin types, and they usually have one thing in common (especially acne-prone skin): Excess oil production.

It’s perfectly normal and even perfectly treatable; the trick is understanding your skin type and providing it with the best products for oily skin, which are specifically crafted to help the problem, starting with a face wash for oily skin. However, finding the best moisturizer for you is a major part of balancing the skin — and, yes, everyone needs a moisturizer, no matter your skin type.

What Causes Oily Skin?

“Oily skin is due to overproduction of oil glands in the skin, which produces excess sebum,” says board-certified dermatologist Antony Nakhla. This sebum overproduction can lead to clogged pores, which can encourage bacteria and then causes acne. Oily skin can be due to many factors, including genetics, hormones, and medications. 

“True oily skin will feel oily throughout the day, even minutes or hours after they’ve cleansed in the morning, and not just in the T-zone, but everywhere,” says skin therapist and Dermalogica senior instructor Andrea James. This could even include an oily scalp, too.

While oily skin is too often detested, it shouldn’t be seen as a less-than-favorable skin type. In fact, it comes with a few major benefits, like better natural aging. “If you are blessed with normal skin at 20, you will have dry skin at 50, and if you have oily skin at 20, you will likely be blessed with normal skin at 50 because your oil production has slowed down,” explains board-certified dermatologist Heather D. Rogers. That usually means fewer wrinkles and healthier skin later in life.

Best Moisturizer for Oily Skin with SPF

  • Size: 1.7 fl oz

Not to mention that it also doesn’t clog my pores, my face is looking great!”

For those with darker skin tones, try a test patch first, cautions the same reviewer: “If I add a little too much, it leaves a cast…Other than that, it does its job really well!!”

Skin Proud Sorbet Skin

Best Drugstore Moisturizer for Oily Skin

  • Size: 1.69 fl oz

  • Type of moisturizer: Lightweight jelly

  • Special ingredients: Rosewater and hyaluronic acid

Skin Proud is the brainchild of Charlotte Knight, the founder of Ciate and Lottie London.

The brand’s Sorbet Skin has a uniquely jelly-like texture and is perfect for oily skin, which quickly absorbs the lotion. But don’t be fooled by how fast your skin drinks it up — it provides a hefty dose of hyaluronic acid (in multiple molecular weights so it can absorb into different layers of the skin) to hydrate and nourish.

Best Moisturizer for Acne-Prone and Oily Skin 

  • Size: 1.7 fl oz

  • Type of moisturizer: Lightweight cream

SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment

Best Brightening Moisturizer for Oily Skin

  • Size: 1 fl oz

  • Type of moisturizer: Lightweight gel-cream

  • Special ingredients: Azelaic acid, alpha arbutin, and a botanical blend

Launched in early 2022, Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is one of SkinCeuticals latest moisturizers designed to treat oily and acne-prone skin. This daily gel-cream is even identified as a “treatment” because of the incredible benefits it provides, from visibly reducing excess oil and redness, to minimizing the appearance of pores, to lifting post-blemish marks and clarifying congestion. The oil-free moisturizer features azelaic acid, as well as alpha arbutin and a botanical blend, to address the skin’s surface and repair imperfections. Check your skin type before purchasing though: It’s praised by those with oily and acne-prone skin, but some reviewers that identify as combination or dry, may find the treatment to be too intense. 

“This is my first review of a product ever,” wrote one reviewer. “I have oily, acne-prone skin. Adding to that, my skin is covered with post-acne hyperpigmentation and scars. This product works for my skin type. Period. It is doing to my skin exactly what it’s advertised to do. My skin looks brighter, my hyperpigmentation is visibly fading away, my skin stays clear and pores remain unclogged. I can see how people with dry skin may have issues with this product because it’s not super moisturizing but for me and my oily skin this product is a godsend. Most moisturizers leave my skin looking greasy or clog my pores. This does neither…Will buy this forever.”

Eighth Day Reparative Moisturizer

Best Hydrating Moisturizer for Oily Skin

  • Size: 1 fl oz

  • Type of moisturizer: Lightweight cream

  • Special ingredients: Ceramides, flax seed extract, ferulic acid, and fermented marine compound

Eighth Day has quietly taken the beauty industry by storm with its cutting-edge, reparative, and (patent-pending) Peptide-Rich Plasma-boosted cream. Dr. Nakhla developed the formula at his dermatological practice to heal wounds, but found that the potent blend of ceramides, peptides, growth factors, and amino acids worked just as well on facial skin too. The Reparative Moisturizer boosts and supports the skin’s natural barrier function (which is really helpful for re-balancing oily skin), increases firmness and elasticity, and significantly reduces fine lines and wrinkles. 

“The Eighth Day Reparative Moisturizer contains ceramides that help with skin cell to cell cohesion for maximum skin hydration,” says Dr. Nakhla. “It also contains super antioxidants to combat pollutants in the air and neutralize free radicals. Using moisturizers that contain these ingredients twice daily after cleansing is an effective way of maintaining skin moisture.”

The Skin Barrier Restoring Gel Cream has been shown to repair skin barrier function within one hour; this helps improve the skin’s natural hydration, as well as support the microbiome to rebalance and repair the dermis.

Not only is it dermatologist-approved, but reviewers also love the results of the lightweight gel-cream. “I’ve used this product twice and I have already seen an improvement in my oil production,” wrote a reviewer. “I get really oily in my T-zone and it has already helped lessen the amount of oil buildup on my nose.”

Best Night Moisturizer for Oily Skin

  • Size: 1.5 fl oz

  • Type of moisturizer: Whipped mousse texture

  • Special ingredients: Aloe vera leaf juice, avocado oil, jojoba seed oil, glycerin, and evening primrose oil

This moisturizer is an unusual choice for oily skin — purposefully. “The cause of oily skin can differ and so will the solutions,” says Rosebrook. “I experience great results neutralizing oily skin by including a facial oil under the moisturizer that contains oils that have a rich linoleic fatty acid profile.” 

He finds that many of his clients with oily skin have a lot of success with his Vital Balm Cream. “A little bit goes a long way and helps balance the oils and waxes found naturally in the skin while effectively reinforcing the delicate acid mantle barrier,” he says. 

This fragrance-free formula has a whipped, silky texture that hydrates, plumps, and strengthens the skin. “Calms my skin down and keeps it happy and pimple free,” wrote one reviewer. “This cream is the absolute best. I use this night and day for my skin and the ingredients make this cream well worth the price.”

What to Look for in the Best Moisturizer for Oily Skin

There are so many misconceptions when it comes to hydrating oily skin. Here are the key factors to look for when it comes to finding the best moisturizer for oily skin. 

  • Look for non-comedogenic formulas: Non-comedogenic means it’s non-comedogenic forming — aka that it will not cause pores to become congested or clogged, which can lead to breakouts, explains celebrity esthetician Shani Darden. “Using non-comedogenic products in general, not just moisturizers, when you have oily skin is essential for keeping skin balanced, clear, and glowing.” When taking a serious look at the products in your routine, it’s worth glancing at your makeup drawer, too. Some makeup products, like concealers for acne, concealers for oily skin or foundations for oily skin, can have ingredients that are irritating and comedogenic, which can exacerbate the problem. If you do find yourself with a zit, pimple patches are a quick and efficient solution.

  • But look at all the ingredients: “Yes it is important for oily skin to avoid ingredients that clog pores, however, this has to be balanced by treating dry skin if you have combination skin,” he says, meaning that hydrating ingredients are sometimes necessary. He finds that the most important ingredient to avoid for oily and acne-prone skin is mineral oil. Also steer clear of fragrances, and ensure that you choose a fragrance-free moisturizer.

  • Extreme skincare isn’t the answer: “One big misconception when caring for oily skin is that the person needs to remove all oil from the surface of the skin in order to dry out the skin in an attempt to create balance,” says skincare expert Josh Rosebrook. Imposing extremes, like harsh, alcohol-based products, won’t “trick” oily skin into behaving better — it’ll likely do the opposite. “Forcing the skin is never the solution,” explains Rosebrook.

  • Ceramides are your friend: A lot of brands are promoting their ceramides-boosting products — and for good reason. Dr. Nakhla believes ceramides are the most important ingredient in moisturizers. They’re proteins found naturally in high concentrations within your skin (making up over 50 percent of skin’s composition). “If you think of skin cells like a brick wall holding in moisturizer, ceramides act like the mud in between the bricks, locking in moisture by keeping water from evaporating off of your skin’s surface,” explains Dr. Nakhla.

  • Be a lightweight: Look for lightweight, sheer, and gel formulations, says James. Thicker, more occlusive ingredients can cause clogged pores for some oily skin, so try to avoid them. When utilizing a lightweight moisturizer, super powered ingredients are helpful because they can add major benefits without feeling heavy. Niacinamide can help with sebum production, while ingredients like sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid can help hydrate — all of which are great additions inside of a moisturizer.

  • Wear sunscreen: Not to sound like a broken record, but you need to wear facial sunscreen daily — even if it’s only a tinted moisturizer with SPF. Some moisturizers for oily skin even include SPF in their formulations. Many will have mineral sunscreen, like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, in the formula because they’re usually less irritating for oily and acne-prone skin than chemical sunscreens. If you find yourself frequently forgetting to apply SPF after your moisturizer, using a product that includes both might be a great fit for you. Want to really simplify your routine? You could even reach for a daily tinted moisturizer with SPF — meaning it would work as your moisturizer, sunscreen, and foundation. Try out Supergoop ​​CC Screen 100% Mineral CC Cream SPF 50, which instantly color corrects, evens the appearance of skin, and provides broad spectrum protection. You’ll likely need to layer another sunscreen on top of this to get your derm-recommended amount.

How to Apply Moisturizer 

Now that you’re bathing in oily skin knowledge, it’s time to slather on some moisturizer. Here are a few tips and best practices when it comes to hydrating. 

  • Cleanse: If you aren’t properly cleansing, there’s no point in investing in a good quality moisturizer — double cleansing at night is vital. The benefit of a double cleanse? The first oil-based cleanse will break down the makeup, sunscreen, and dirt from the day, while the second cleanse will address your specific skin type and needs. For example, if you have acne-prone, oily skin, use a salicylic acid-based cleanser second to target breakouts and soothe the skin. But first, to properly oil cleanse, use an oil-based face wash and massage it onto dry skin, slowly incorporating a tiny amount of water so it turns into a milky texture. Continue to massage for 30 seconds. We love Pai Skincare’s Rosehip Cleansing Oil because it hydrates rather than strips, and it just feels lovely. After rinsing off the oil cleanser, follow up with a second face wash of your choice, lathering up for at least 30 seconds before rinsing. 

  • Moisturize: If you use a toner or essence, you’ll use it after double cleansing, followed by a serum. Now it’s time for the moisturizer — you want skin to be slightly damp prior to application, so either forgo drying off entirely, spritz a mist or lightly dab a fresh, clean towel against your skin. Taking a small amount of lotion (usually around pea-sized, but certain formulas will need more) with clean hands, gently massage it into the skin, focusing on the driest areas first then continuing around the rest of the face. After applying a moisturizer, skin should feel comfortable and not itchy or overly tight. Follow up with an eye cream (if you’d like).
