The Best Moisturizers for Oily Skin

It may seem counterintuitive to moisturize an oily complexion, but it needs hydration just as much as any skin type. Your skin will rebound without the right level of moisture, and in turn overproduce oil.
What your skin requires is an oil-free, balancing moisturizer, 10 of which we’ve selected especially for you!
