Most of us with oily, acne-prone skin have a nasty habit of skipping moisturizers. I mean I for certain was one. I would never apply moisturizer and when I did, I was sweating like there was no tomorrow. Clearly, I did not read the labels well, and most companies back then hardly gave a shit. But now that I know better, I wanted to share my Top 5 Moisturizers for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin. Here’s hoping you find it helpful.
My top 5 moisturizers for oily acne-prone skin
Earth Rhythm Phyto-Repair, Advanced Cell Repair Moisturizer – Rs 749 for 50g
This is the moisturizer that I am currently using. And my skin is loving it. It is super lightweight, absorbs easily, does not make your skin feel greasy or tacky. It does not clog your pores or cause breakouts. What it does instead is moisturizing your skin leaving it soft to the touch. All you need is 1-2 pumps of it and you’re done.

Dr Sheth’s Multi Miracle Cream – Rs 1350 for 30g
I started using this cream when I was on prescription retinol. It worked beautifully in keeping my skin moisturized and not greasy or flaky.

It contains ingredients like Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid which help hydrate the skin. Also helps reduce acne and pigmentation ever so slightly with regular use.

It moisturizes your skin without feeling greasy or tacky, does not break you out or clog pores. Cica helps calm inflamed skin and ceramide help build your skin barrier.
