6 Skin Creams That Will Not Leave Your Skin Oily

Every skin is different. Finding the right face cream is like finding the right boyfriend: you have to go through the bad and even the useless ones. How many times did you buy super expensive skin creams, thinking that because they almost cost you half your salary they HAD to work perfectly? And how many times have you been left disappointed?

No, you are not just unlucky, the truth is we all struggle to find the perfect face cream or moisturizer, and we all trust those seemingly amazing ads seen on TV.

Those of us with oily or combo skins know that it is a real struggle to find the right cream.

The secret to not look like you washed your face into a tub of oil, is to look for an oil-free moisturizer.

We listed 6 different skin cream products that will help us with staying shine-free all summer.

1. Unblemish Shine-Free Lotion

Combining moisturizer and sun cream can be tricky for oily skins. But this product is a combo of both! It has been created especially for skins tending to acne and visible signs of ageing. It is an oil-free cream, that helps keep the shine under control and also protect the skin from UVA/UVB rays, that can darken the sings of acne. This skin cream also contains physical SPF (zinc and titanium oxide) and Vitamin C that acts as a skin-brightening.

2. Effaclar Mat Daily Moisturizer for Oily Skin

This skin cream is a great help for those of us who hate the shiny effect that moisturizers can leave. In fact, it is a mattifying face moisturizer, which means it will mattify the excess oil and also it will tighten the pores. It also contains ceramides, which is an essential ingredient that allows the skin to retain hydration. This moisturizer will leave your skin almost completely dry within a few minutes, and ready to apply your make up.

Perfect for those days when the oil won’t just leave us alone.

3. Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizer

If your skin is prone to redness, irritation or just simply too sensitive, this brand is perfect for you. It is clinically tested to reduce redness in a week time. Because face creams are a really serious matter this product is formulated with ingredients that help to calm irritated skin. Quick absorbing, leaves your skin smooth and ready for makeup application. It is recommended to use this product daily, preferably in the morning.

4. Neutrogena Hydroboost

This unique oil-free face cream is simply made with skin-plumping hyaluronic acid which is naturally found in the skin. This product has a light texture and it is long lasting, so ideal to apply before a long work day. It feels so lightweight on your skin, and you only need a small dab on each cheek to cover your whole face. Perfect for combination skins, as keeps your skin hydrated all day.

5. Clinique Moisture Surge

Summer is almost here and we demand a skin cream that it is only oil-free but that also leaves that cooling feeling we will need. The activated aloe water contained in this product helps the skin to create its own internal water source. You need to use very little of this product and it sinks into the skin almost immediately. Ideal to apply before makeup as it doesn’t cause any extra shine.

6. Glossier Priming Moisturizer Rich

If you are looking for a night cream moisturizer that does not leave the greasy feeling once you wake up, this might be the right option for you. It is fragrance-free, so perfect for sensitive eyes and contains ceramides. I wouldn’t recommend using this product under makeup, as it can make the foundation slide around and also emphasised oiler areas.

Remember that skin creams are just a part of a skin routine we need to follow. We all have different skins so it is important to find the right product for you.
