Moisturisers

In case you were wondering if you need moisturisers for oily skin, the answer is yes. In many cases, oily skin is an external symptom of dehydration, where your sebaceous glands are overproducing sebum to make up for the lack of moisture.

Unfortunately, this just leads to a greasy complexion with a high potential for blackheads, acne, and other blemishes. Therefore, using suitable moisturisers designed for oily skin will help to nourish your skin and reduce shine.

Skincare experts highly recommend using moisturisers for oily skin twice a day. Use a day cream in the morning, along with a night cream for oily skin before bedtime. It’s essential for your skin to stay moisturised throughout the day and night, because dehydrated skin will only trigger excess sebum production.

Oily complexions are easily prone to developing acne, which is why you should be very careful when selecting your face creams for oily skin. Opt for lightweight formulas that are non-comedogenic. Your ideal moisturiser should contain hydrating ingredients that help to reduce shine without clogging the pores or triggering acne. Steer clear of face creams that feel heavy or greasy, or ones that strip your skin’s natural oils.

At Clarins, we have the best skincare products to help oily skin, starting with our oil-control moisturisers. It’s ideal to use different moisturisers during the day and night.

While both types of face creams for oily skin are geared to reduce shine and prevent moisture loss, the Clarins’ day moisturiser contains a protective plant-based squalene to shield the skin against external aggressors throughout the day, while our night moisturiser is enriched with Organic Sorbus Bud extract to boost radiance as you sleep.

The Super Restorative Day Cream is an anti-ageing face cream for mature skin. This day moisturiser is ideal for oily skin as it doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky residue. It is made with a powerful plant-based duo composed of Organic Harungana and Organic Gorse extracts to restore skin firmness and combat sagging. Desert Date helps to minimise the appearance of dark spots, White Horehound protects against the harmful effects of pollution, and Shea extracts keep your skin plump and soft. It also ensures that your skin stays moisturised all day.

Before bedtime, apply the Super Restorative Night Cream after toning your skin. This night cream suits all skin types, including oily skin. You won’t have to worry about this moisturiser clogging your pores or inducing breakouts because this non-greasy formula melts into the skin to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and age-related spots, while nourishing your skin from deep within. It also lifts sagging skin, giving you a firmer complexion by morning. In fact, 88% of Clarins users claimed that their skin felt plumper after using this night cream.
