Yes, Even Oily Skin Needs Hydration. Here Are the Only 13 Moisturizers You'll Need.

Rule number one to achieving supple, expensive-looking skin? Never skip moisturizing. Well, it’s probably not rule number one, but moisturizing your skin is just as important as cleansing, whether you drink copious amounts of water, eat your fruits, and exercise—or not. What’s great finding the best skin-saving moisturizer is that everyone pretty much falls into one or more of the following skin-type categories—oily, dry, combination, or normal—and there are a wealth of moisturizing serums and creams that cater to each group. But today, we’re here to talk about oily skin.

Believe it or not, oily skin needs just as much hydration as normal, dry, and combination skin. “It's a misconception that people with oily skin do not need to use moisturizers. Stripping the skin of oil can interrupt the skin barrier and cause unwanted irritation. So it’s important to find a moisturizer that does not add additional oil to the skin, but is hydrating,” Dr. Lian Mack, MD, board-certified dermatologist, told ELLE.com. “Consumers should be looking for products that are both oil-free and non-comedogenic (meaning it does not clog pores or cause acne), and that hydrates the skin with water-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid.”

Good thing lightweight, oil-free moisturizers are just a click away. Ahead, shop the best drugstore, luxury, and derm-approved face creams to keep your skin hydrated, not greasy.
