CeraVe Oil Control Moisturizing Gel-Cream for Oily Skin, 1.7 oz — Matte Hydration with Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid

CeraVe Oil Control Moisturizing Gel-Cream is a lightweight, oil-free face moisturizer that hydrates while absorbing excess shine for a matte finish.

This gel-cream was developed with dermatologists to rebalance combination to oily skin using a blend of oil-absorbing powders, three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. The non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formula aims to provide lasting hydration without leaving a greasy film, making it suitable for daily routines and as a base under makeup.

How does this moisturizer reduce midday shine?

The formula contains silica and other oil-absorbing powders that help capture surface sebum, producing a longer-lasting matte appearance. Its quick-absorbing gel texture minimizes visible oil buildup while still delivering moisture.

• Silica and oil-absorbing powders to mattify skin.
• Lightweight gel-cream that absorbs rapidly.
• Non-greasy finish suitable for touch-ups or morning application.

Will it hydrate without clogging pores or causing breakouts?

Yes — the product is non-comedogenic and designed for acne-prone and sensitive skin. Hyaluronic acid in the formula attracts and retains moisture while ceramides support the skin barrier, and niacinamide helps soothe and balance the complexion.

• Hyaluronic acid for hydration without oiliness.
• Three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help restore the skin barrier.
• Niacinamide to calm and even skin tone.

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Use as the final step in both morning and evening routines after serums and treatments have fully absorbed. Because it’s lightweight and matte, it works well under sunscreen and makeup without pilling.

• Apply after cleansers, toners and serums have dried.
• Use in AM before sunscreen and in PM as your last layer.
• Compatible with makeup application and non-pilling formula.

What visible changes can I expect with regular use?

With continued use, skin often feels less oily between cleanses and pores may appear less pronounced due to improved barrier function and surface oil control. The overall finish tends toward a refreshed, matte look without tightness.

• Reduced surface shine throughout the day.
• Smoother texture and improved skin barrier support.
• Comfortable hydration appropriate for oily or combination skin.
