CeraVeOil Control Moisturizing Gel-Cream, Face Moisturizer for Oily Skin, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid & Oil Absorbing Technology To Rebalance Oily Skin, Non-Comedogenic, Fragrance Free & Oil-Free

I've tried a lot of moisturizers over the years, but this one really stands out. The CeraVe Oil Control Gel-Cream hits the sweet spot for oily skin—super lightweight, absorbs fast, and leaves a clean matte finish that actually lasts through the day. No shine by noon, which for me is a big deal.What I love is that it hydrates without feeling heavy. My skin feels balanced, not dry or greasy. It’s also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, which I appreciate because my skin tends to react to strong scents or thick formulas.After a few weeks of consistent use, I’ve noticed fewer breakouts and less midday oiliness. I genuinely feel like my skin just looks healthier.Highly recommended if you're looking for a solid daily moisturizer that actually controls oil without compromising on hydration

Believe the great reviews, it really is that good. At 42 I'd always thought by now my skin would FINALLY stop being oily, but nope, genetics determined it's for life apparently. I'm just as crazy oily at this age as ever. *sigh*Obviously, as we get older though, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles become more of a priority, so I don't love using extremely drying or harsh products for the oil issue either.Normally I always carry with me oil blotting papers (which I highly recommend). I use those within 2 hours of doing my makeup and that's even when I've already used an oil absorbing primer, etc. Then I continue to have to use blotting papers to touch up throughout the day, every couple of hours or so. I'm THAT freaking oily. It's such a pain and a little embarrassing to get shiny so fast around others, as I'm sure many reading this can relate to, no doubt.Suffice it to say that I've tried tons, and I mean TONS, of oil absorbing products over the years. While some work a bit better than others (by the way, if you're looking for a matte primer that does indeed control oil longer, I'd suggest trying Rimmel's Stay Matte in the purple and white tube), but none of the primers or moisturizers or treatment creams I've tried ever really worked wonders for how quickly my face produces oil. So I'd basically given up on the hope that any product was going to really knock it out of the park for my particular needs.Enter CeraVe oil control moisturizer.I'm shocked. Totally shocked. The first time I put it on, I made sure my face was super clean and I applied nothing else but this product. I checked the time so I could gauge how long the matte effect lasted.For starters, this moisturizer feels amazing! Smooth and hydrating, your skin drinks it in immediately, and you're left with an instant matte yet moisturized and baby-smooth feel that leaves you wanting to touch your face just to enjoy it. You don't have to wait forever for it to dry and it plays beautifully under makeup without pilling.But the real shock occurred when I touched my face a little over two hours after application. AND IT WASSTILL DRY. No oil. My jaw dropped.No other products I've tried have done this for me.Needless to say, I'm going to be stockpiling this stuff!!!! It's so perfect in nearly every way. I freaking love it. I knew CeraVe was a good brand, but wow, they nailed it with this one!

This moisturizer has become a staple in our daily skincare routine. Its lightweight gel-cream formula absorbs quickly, leaving a matte finish that effectively controls oil throughout the day. The inclusion of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid helps maintain hydration without clogging pores, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin. We appreciate that it's fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, ensuring it doesn't irritate sensitive skin. At an affordable price point, it's a high-quality product that delivers consistent results. Highly recommended for anyone seeking effective oil control without compromising skin health

My only complaint is the bottle is super tiny idk why they don’t sell in a bigger size

I've tried most if not all of CeraVe's products over the years, and in my opinion, this is probably their best moisturizer for oilier skin (and their Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 in the pump tube is their best SPF moisturizer/sunscreen). It gives plenty of hydration but never makes me look or feel oilier. The finish is natural going on and as the day progresses, it has a subtle but definite mattifying effect. Excellent, simple product that does what it says, at a good price, and actually comes in a decent size.

Recently I felt exhausted by decades of oily skin, having to cleanse 4 times per day. So I searched how to reduce oil production and that led me to this product. I was skeptical because it seemed counterintuitive to apply moisturizer, and also because I recall feeling misled by their ‘foaming’ cleanser. However, this product is a total game changer. Using 3 pump presses, I can now cleanse only 2 times per day. Finding this has been the best part of my week!

I was surprised this actually moisturized my skin without drying it out. Been using it for a month, and its been keeping the oil at bay.

Personally i felt this moisturizer was greasy. I don’t really struggle with oily skin but this definitely made my skin 10x shinier. Stuck it on a shelf to use as backup but definitely not something I reach for.
