True or false: Change your moisturizer. Change your skin. We believe it\u2019s true, but it\u2019s dependent on finding the best moisturizer<\/a> for your skin type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re prone to oiliness<\/a> and breakouts<\/a>, finding your holy grail oil <\/a>control<\/a> products<\/a> can be a frustrating game of trial and error that leads to abandoning them all together. But board-certified dermatologist, pharmacist and founder Dr. Howard Murad says moisturizers are musts regardless of skin type. \u201cI tell my patients to think of them as hydrators that keep skin and the microbiome healthy and in balance<\/a>, which can help decrease oiliness and prevent breakouts<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Because skin might be over-producing oil to compensate for a lack of hydration<\/a>, especially if you\u2019re treating with intense oil-controlling or breakout-clearing ingredients. So how do you find the right moisturizer for acne prone skin or a skin type that may produce excess oil <\/a>already? To find the best face moisturizer for acne and oily skin<\/a> that hydrates without feeling greasy or amplifying shine, follow these tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t skip moisturizer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every skin type needs hydration from moisturizers<\/a>\u2014even oily and acne-prone skin types. Why? Hydration is the amount of water in your skin, and it can be low no matter how much oil you have on the surface. Moisturizing skin helps it retain this water, keeping it balanced, protected, smooth and luminous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when it comes to skin hydration for oily and acne-prone skin, it can be challenging to find the right moisturizer, like with other skincare products. Here’s what you can look for and what to avoid if you have any of these skin types:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
01<\/div>\n
Look for key words<\/div>\n

Oil-free, non-comedogenic, water-light, ultra-light and gel indicate a texture that\u2019s suited to oily skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
02<\/div>\n
Avoid these words<\/div>\n

Rich, creamy, and heavyweight are not for oily and breakout-prone skin types. (They\u2019re more for supremely dry and dehydrated skin types<\/a> who need the extra oil.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Know your ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Certain key ingredients can play a significant role in controlling acne breakouts, while providing the skin hydration everyone needs. Ingredient all-star salicylic acid<\/a> (a beta hydroxy acid) has long been a dermatologist favorite for oily and acne-prone skin types. At certain percentages, salicylic acid helps gently exfoliate the upper layer of the skin to help keep pores clear and unblocked<\/a>. It also helps refine and smooth. Hyaluronic acid is a must in moisturizers for oily and acne-prone skin because it hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy, and it won\u2019t clog pores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow Dr.’s orders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Murad has always advised his clients to treat any skin condition holistically\u2014that is, with a balanced diet, exercise, and a consistent skincare routine. Taking care of your whole body will ultimately show on your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay in the know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Watch for new ingredients on the market that provide a new route for treating oiliness and acne. Our Clarifying Water Gel<\/a> by Murad<\/a> contains innovative Korean red pine extract that helps prevent our skin\u2019s bacteria from causing an imbalance (which can lead to irritation that triggers breakouts). This moisturizer checks all the boxes for oily and acne-prone skin: it hydrates with weightless, non-greasy hyaluronic acid<\/a>, it balances your skin\u2019s microbiome to minimize impurities that lead to breakouts, and it calms to deliver soothing relief to red, irritated skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
