VICHY Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet Gel Moisturizer for Oily Skin — Hydrating, Matte Finish

This refreshing sorbet-texture gel combines hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, salicylic acid and mineral-rich Vichy Volcanic Water to balance hydration and control shine. Fast-absorbing and fragrance-free, the formula cools the skin on contact, smooths texture, and acts as a matte primer under makeup. Dermatologist-tested and designed for sensitive to oily complexions, it aims to leave skin soft, even and shine-free throughout the day.

How does this moisturizer keep oily skin hydrated without feeling greasy?

The gel base delivers water-binding hyaluronic acid that plumps and hydrates without heavy oils or silicones. Lightweight mattifying powders and salicylic acid help absorb sebum, so hydration is balanced by oil control for a dry-touch finish.

• Hyaluronic acid pulls moisture into the skin without adding oil
• Mattifying powders reduce surface shine and smooth appearance
• Salicylic acid helps manage excess oil and refines pores
• Fragrance-free, non-sticky texture for comfortable daily wear

Can I use Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet as a makeup primer?

Yes — the sorbet texture absorbs quickly and creates a smooth, matte base that helps foundation apply evenly and last longer. Its primer-like effect reduces shine and keeps makeup from sliding on oily zones.

• Applies evenly under foundation or tinted products
• Matte finish minimizes midday shine for longer wear
• Lightweight feel won’t ball up under cosmetics
• Suitable for layering with sunscreens and serums

What active ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula combines proven actives to address hydration, texture and oil control without harsh irritation. Each ingredient plays a specific role in improving skin comfort and appearance while supporting the skin’s natural barrier.

• Hyaluronic Acid: hydrates and helps plump surface fine lines
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): supports moisture retention and evens skin texture
• Salicylic Acid: gently targets excess oil and helps refine pores
• Vichy Volcanic Water: supplies 15 minerals to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier

How should I include this product in my daily skincare routine?

Use the gel morning and night after cleansing and toning. Apply a thin, even layer to the face; follow with sunscreen in the morning and any treatment serums at night as needed.

• Mornings: cleanser → serum (optional) → Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet → sunscreen
• Evenings: cleanser → treatment serum → Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet
• Can be used alone as a light moisturizer or under makeup as a primer
• Safe for sensitive skin and dermatologist-tested
