The Best Non-Greasy Face Moisturiser

When it comes to facial moisturisers there is a very distinct line between them delivering moisture and being greasy. Plus everyone has a unique preference on how dewy, rich and greasy a moisturiser should be. What might be the perfect product for one person, might not be another persons cup of tea. However, having said all of this most of us tend to agree on the type of moisturiser that we like, and how it leaves our skin feeling. It tends to be based on our skin type. Those with oily skin prefer a non-greasy moisturiser, and those with dry skin often like a richer high hydration product. If you fall into the non-greasy bracket then read on the find out more about our Matt Formula Face Cream, which we believe is the best non-greasy face cream.

Good non-greasy moisturisers are able to provide long lasting hydration as well as protection from trans epidermal water loss, but without being greasy and too oily. A greasy oily moisturiser is not going to benefit anyone, even those of us with the driest of skin types, as the greasy residue will sit on the surface of skin and make it look overly oily, which is never a good look.

Instead, when a moisturiser is well formulated with the right ingredients and consistency, it can sink into skin beautifully. At the same time giving long-lasting moisture and providing a gorgeous non-greasy finish to skin. This is exactly what we have achieved with our Matt Formula Face Cream for oily, normal, combination and sensitive skin.

There is a common misconception that those with oily skin should use an oil free face moisturiser. However, this is not correct as the right plant oils can have amazing effects for oily skin. Plant oils such as Jojoba oil are non-comedogenic and work for all skin types, it also helps to balance out oil production. This is why we use it in our anti-ageing moisturiser for oily skin. If you use an oil free moisturiser then your skin is missing out on the gorgeous healing nutrition that plant oils can bring to skin.

For people with oily skin then moisturising is still a really important part of your skin care routine. There are some myths that those with oily skin can skip a moisturiser to help to dry up the oiliness. It is true that you do have a little bit more natural oils in the skin, but oily skin can still experience dehydration and moisture loss.

Instead, oilier skin types need a great non-greasy face moisturiser that hydrates and nourishes without overloading skin.

Our Matt Formula Face Cream is never heavy or greasy on skin and it is also a great oily skin moisturiser for sensitive skin as it does not contain any of the ingredients that many synthetic moisturisers contain such as niacinamide.

We always recommend using a non-greasy moisturiser, as using a greasy moisturiser can come with several disadvantages that may affect both skin health and daily comfort. One of the primary concerns is that greasy formulas can clog pores, leading to acne breakouts and skin irritation, particularly for those with oily or combination skin types. Additionally, a greasy moisturiser can leave a heavy, sticky residue that feels unpleasant and can transfer onto clothes and bedding. This not only compromises comfort but may also necessitate more frequent cleaning. Moreover, greasy moisturisers can interfere with the application of makeup, causing it to slip or appear uneven. For these reasons, it is crucial to choose a moisturiser that suits your skin type and provides a balanced, non-greasy finish.

As you can see if you have oily skin then using a good face moisturiser that is right is essential. The other important thing to remember is to stay away from harsh oil stripping products like face washes, which can drive more oil production and so may actually make oiliness appear worse and be more noticeable. At Nakin all of our face products are designed to be kind to all skin types and give skin the love and care it deserves. See our full range on our website.
