The Best Moisturiser for Oily Skin

There can be a temptation to skip moisturiser for those of us with skin on the oily side. But we never recommend this, as oily skin can still become dehydrated and is susceptible to damage like every other skin type. At Nakin we produce high performance plant based skincare and our advice for those with oilier skin is to use a moisturiser that is specially made for this skin type, and also to use one that is natural, so it will not disrupt the skins natural biology. So many moisturisers around are made with ingredients that are too rich for oily skin, plus contain film forming synthetic moisturisers like silicones and PEGs. These might feel lovely on the skin, but we feel they can clog pores and stop our skin from functioning as best possible. This is why we never use them in our Matt Formula Face Cream, which we believe is the best moisturiser for oily skin.

At Nakin we have a really special product which is our Matt Formula Face Cream, that we believe is the best moisturiser for oily skin. Find out more about it below.

• It has everything that oily skin needs in a face moisturiser and is packed with nutrition, hydration and protection, while also being lightweight and fast absorbing.
• If you have oily skin then you definitely want a more lightweight cream than one for people with dry skin, but oily skin can still get dehydrated, so good moisture is essential. The important thing is to get that moisture deep down, instead of hydration that comes from greasy or rich ingredients. That’s why our natural moisturiser has a formulation that combines effective moisturising ingredients like oily skin friendly plant oils and hyaluronic acid, but without weighing skin down.
• It is filled with skin protection to effectively shield the skin from trans epidermal water loss and damage from stressors. One of our favourite ingredients for this is the jojoba oil that provides an invisible lightweight barrier to skin, to protect it from harsh weather and pollution. It is also really balancing and helps to settle and calm any oily or dry areas.
• As with all of our anti-ageing skincare it is free from overly rich and greasy plant oils like coconut, macadamia and avocado oil. Instead, the oils that it contains are non-comedogenic and do not clog pores, like argan and grape seed.
• Oily skin needs really kind ingredients like every other skin type, as it can be prone to sensitivity too. So, our cream is 99% natural and free from ingredients founds in many modern face moisturisers like silicones, niacinamide, artificial fragrance and colour. It also has lots of skin calming ingredients like baobab and aloe.
• It has a cream consistency, as we prefer these over gels, because creams are able to offer the face and neck more long-lasting hydration and protection. The cream is delicately scented with a completely natural fragrance.
• The Matt Formula Face Cream is ethically made and is cruelty free, vegan and made in the UK.

Our Matt Cream is not only for oily skin, but also for normal, combination and sensitive types. Plus, for those who are not keen on a heavy moisturiser or use a rich foundation or sunscreen on top. It also works all year round in spring, summer, autumn and winter and is for use in the morning and evening.

Why Our Matt Formula Face Cream is the Best Moisturiser for Oily Skin

Our Matt Formula Face Cream is specifically designed to address the unique needs of normal, combination and oily skin, providing a lightweight yet deeply hydrating solution that helps balance sebum production. It is really kind to skin and so even suitable for sensitive types. Enriched with ingredients such as oil balancing natural actives and plant extracts, this cream works with excess oil while maintaining moisture levels, helping to prevent that unwanted shine throughout the day, but still keep skin hydrated and nourished. Its light weight formula helps to ensure that pores remain clear, reducing the likelihood of breakouts. With its quick-absorbing texture and long-lasting matte finish, our face cream offers a perfect base for makeup or a fresh-faced look, making it an essential addition to any skincare routine for those with oily complexions. 

The Importance of Moisturising Oily Skin

Contrary to popular belief, moisturising oily skin is just as important as hydrating dry skin. While it may seem counterintuitive to add moisture to already oily skin, failing to do so can actually worsen the problem. When the skin lacks hydration, it compensates by producing more oil, leading to an overproduction of sebum and clogged pores. This can result in breakouts, shiny skin, and a dull complexion.

Moisturisers specifically formulated for oily skin provide lightweight hydration without clogging pores or adding excess oils. They help regulate sebum production and balance the skin's natural moisture levels, keeping it healthy and nourished. Additionally, good moisturisers like ours will also act as a protective barrier, shielding the skin from external factors such as pollution.
