Overall great, cons = pills up occasionally
I've been using CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser for over a month now and it’s been great for my skin type (oily/combination). The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving my skin dewy without feeling dry or greasy. I love that it contains a high amount of niacinamide and glycerin + it's fragrance free and non-comedogenic = doesn't clog pores which can lead to pimples. This moisturiser lasts all day and is a solid choice for anyone with oily or acne-prone skin! The only downside is that it can pill up during application which is annoying but can be brushed away easily.
Great everyday moisturiser
I recently started using the CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser, and I’ve been pretty impressed! As someone with oily skin, I was on the lookout for something that could keep my shine in check without feeling heavy. This moisturiser has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly, which is a game-changer for me.
What I really love is how it helps control oil throughout the day. I used to find myself needing to blot my face frequently, but since I started using this, I’ve noticed less shine, even during long days. Plus, it contains niacinamide, which has really helped soothe my skin and reduce redness.
It’s also a great base for makeup—my foundation goes on smoothly, and I don’t feel like I’m adding layers of heaviness. I can see this becoming a staple in my skincare routine!
If you have oily or combination skin and are looking for something to keep your skin balanced and hydrated, I definitely recommend giving it a try!
Super lightweight!
Super lightweight and perfect for the warmer days!
This moisturiser was light weight and felt that way on the skin. While it wasn’t heavy it did give my skin the moisture it needs and didn’t leave me feeling dry which sometimes is an issue for my combination skin with lighter weight moisturisers.
It sat well under makeup and possibly helped it stay fresh for longer due to the oil control benefit. I enjoyed using this product and will use it again in future- particularly in warmer weather when my skin is more oily.
Brought Out The Texture In My Skin
I'm not sure if this product just wasn't for me but I really wasn't satisfied with how it left my skin feeling.
After using it nightly for a few days in a row I discovered that my skin was feeling extremely dry and more textured than usual. It was as if the 'oil control' aspect overcorrected my skin and I was no longer getting the benefits of it as a moisturiser. It took a lot of trial and error on how much to apply and how often to ensure my skin felt somewhat balanced.
The packaging is also quite small, yes a little bit goes a long way but I feel that for a moisturiser that is so runny it should come in bigger sizing for more efficiency.
The scent was also a bit of a funny one, not overpowering or artificial but just kind of musty in a sense. Overall this product is not something I would personally reach for again but may be the perfect answer for someone that has extremely oily skin.
A great moisturizer!
This has been a great moisturizer! It is very light-weight and thin, but still leaves you feeling moisturized. I think it’s perfect for warmer months, and for those with oily skin. It feels breathable on the skin, yet is still very hydrating. There is no leftover residue, or white cast. It is a very subtle, essentially non-existent scent, which is great for those who are sensitive to that. I haven’t noticed any reactions with any of my other skincare products either. I really like the pump aspect of the packing, as it makes for easy, yet sanitary, dispensing of the lotion. Overall, I have always really enjoyed CeraVe products, and this is another one I can add to the list. I will continue to purchase this product, especially in the summer months.
Great oil reduction
I love trying new products for my skin especially ones that help control the oil on my skin. The average Oil control moisturiser was well packaged a good size with the need for only one or two pumps to cover my skin. It was easy to apply and didn’t leave my face feeling sticky or incredibly oily which I find can make my skin worse. There was minimal scent to the moisturiser which is nice and used as part of my skin care routine in the morning and at night I noticed significant difference in the feel of my skin. I suffer from oily skin and living in a hot climate it’s hard to manage so making this part of my routine really reduced the oil on my skin leaving me with skin that felt smooth and looks smooth
Add to card immediately!
The CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser is hands down the best oil control product I’ve ever used. Its fragrance-free, lightweight gel texture feels fantastic on the skin. I love how quickly it absorbs and how effortlessly it layers with other skincare products and makeup without feeling heavy or greasy.
After just two weeks of using this moisturiser both morning and night, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my skin. It shifted from excessively oily to a more balanced, normal state. In fact, my skin started to feel slightly dry, which was a pleasant surprise! This allowed me to adjust my routine, using the moisturiser in the morning and opting for something more hydrating at night.
Now that summer is here and the heat is intensifying, it'll become more challenging to manage oily skin. This is the perfect time to invest in this moisturiser—it truly helps control shine and keeps your skin balanced.
Great Product for Oily Skin
I’ve been using the CeraVe Oil Control Moisturizer for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in the oiliness of my T-zone—it’s definitely more controlled! One of the things I really appreciate is that it doesn’t have any scent, which is a bonus for those who prefer fragrance-free products. The formula absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving no greasy residue behind, which is great if you want a lightweight feel.
However, I did find that it was a bit drying on other areas of my face that aren't as oily, so I would only recommend this if you have oily skin. The packaging is also a win for me—it’s super convenient and easy to use. Overall, a great option for anyone with oily skin looking to control shine without feeling heavy or greasy
Perfect daily moisture!
This moisturizer is perfect for those who like a light, breathable daily moisturizer to apply under makeup or before bed. It leaves your skin feeling fresh, moist and supple without the thick or greasy feel of some other products. CeraVe is known for their great quality ingredients and I can vouch for this product as someone with extremely sensitive skin. The pump action makes it very easy to apply, and the size is perfect for travel or to fit into your daily makeup bag. For the price point, it is a perfect daily moisturizer for people with oily or dry skin (I have both so trust me)!
Best moisturiser I’ve used in a long time
I am beyond impressed with this moisturiser! From the very first application, it felt incredible on my skin—lightweight, yet providing deep hydration that lasted all day. It absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished without any greasy or sticky residue, which is something I really appreciate. I have combination skin, and this product did an amazing job keeping the oil at bay, even in the T-zone where I usually get shiny. That alone makes it a game-changer for me.
What’s even better is how well it works under makeup. It created the perfect base, allowing my foundation to sit beautifully on top without causing any pilling or separation. My makeup stayed in place for hours and looked flawless throughout the day. I also love how comfortable it feels—there’s no heaviness or clogging sensation, just a lovely, breathable finish.
The only thing that would make this product even more perfect is if it included SPF protection. Having sunscreen built into such an incredible moisturiser would save time and add even more convenience to my daily routine. But overall, I’m extremely happy with it and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a moisturiser that feels luxurious, controls oil, and creates a flawless base for makeup!
Balanced Solution for Oily Skin
I received the CeraVe Oil Control Moisturizer recently and have thoroughly enjoyed its unique formula. It’s specifically designed for those with oily and acne-prone skin. The moisturiser itself is lightweight and easily spreads and absorbs into the skin; works as it should. The cream feels very hydrating at first, and it mattifies; reducing shine and excess oil throughout the day. The pump packaging is a bonus as it keeps the cream clean and hygienic.
Overall, CeraVe Oil Control Moisturizer is a great option for oily and acne-prone skin, balancing hydration and oil control effectively. It’s a reliable choice for those looking to maintain a clear and healthy complexion. Recommend for those with oily skin!
Almost Great
The texture was lovely and light, and is nice going into Summer. No scent so doesn’t interfere with your perfume or give you a headache. Kept my skin from feeling tight all day long. My skin still got oily in my t-zone but it was not exacerbated by this moisturiser. Something in it made my skin a little redder, a slight irritation unfortunately. I like the pump to stop air & germ contamination and keep it from leaking when travelling too. I also like how it dries down quickly so makeup is easy to apply.
It's okay but not ideal for combination skin
### CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser Review
So, I’ve been using the CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser for the last month, and I wanted to share my thoughts. I have an oily T-zone, which makes finding the right moisturiser a bit of a challenge. CeraVe has a solid reputation, so I was really hoping this would help balance my skin.
First off, let’s talk about the packaging. It comes in a nice pump bottle that makes it easy to dispense just the right amount. I love that—no mess! The product has a light, pleasant scent, which isn’t overpowering, so that’s a nice bonus for those of us who prefer fragrance-free options.
When I first squeezed some out, I was surprised by how lightweight and gel-like it feels. It glides on really smoothly and absorbs quickly, which is perfect for oily skin. I didn’t feel like I was slathering on a heavy cream, and it didn’t leave any greasy residue. That’s a win in my book! Plus, it worked well under makeup, so I didn’t have to worry about it pilling up.
Now, the ingredients are what really drew me in. Niacinamide is a big selling point because it’s known for helping with oil control and soothing the skin. There’s also salicylic acid, which I thought would be great for keeping breakouts at bay. And let’s not forget about the ceramides, which are supposed to help maintain the skin barrier. So, it seemed like a solid formula overall.
In the first week, I was feeling pretty optimistic. My skin felt hydrated, and I noticed less dryness. But as the weeks went by, I started to feel less impressed. The oil control aspect wasn’t living up to my expectations. By midday, my T-zone was shiny again, and I found myself reaching for blotting papers more than I’d like. It didn’t really make a noticeable difference in keeping the oil at bay, which was a bit disappointing.
One good thing, though, is that I didn’t experience any breakouts or irritation, which can happen with new products. My skin stayed clear, and I appreciate that. It’s gentle enough that I didn’t have to worry about it messing with my sensitive skin.
Overall, while CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser has some great qualities—like its light texture and gentle formula—it didn’t quite deliver the oil control I was hoping for. It’s decent for hydration, but if you’re battling significant oiliness, you might want to look elsewhere. I think I’ll keep using it, especially when my skin needs a little extra moisture during the colder months, but I’m definitely still on the hunt for something that really tackles that oily T-zone.
If you’re looking for a nice everyday moisturiser that hydrates without feeling heavy, this could work for you. But for those of us dealing with a shiny T-zone, you might want to explore other options to really keep that oil in check.
One of the best moisturizers I have used!
I have been using this for 3-4 weeks and have noticed a huge change in the texture of my skin, and overall complexion since starting to use this moisturizer.
It’s light weight on the skin, as it’s a thin formula rather than thick you do not need a lot of product to cover the entire face. I have used this by its self, with other skin care products and under makeup, it performs extremely well in all situations.
I have acne prone skin and suffer from dry spots on my eyes and around my nose, the moisturizer doesn’t dry these out further but instead allows them to absorb the product and stay hydrated.
I really enjoyed that this product has no fragrance and doesn’t aggravate sensitive spots due to this.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone whether you have dry or oily skin, the ceraVe products come highly recommended by dermatologists for all skin types. I will continue to use this within my skin routine.
Great for oily areas
I have been using the CeraVe oil control moisturiser daily morning and night for four weeks now and am overall impressed! I have an oily t-zone and struggle finding a daily moisturiser that doesn’t contribute to my oily issues. I find this CeraVe moisturiser does a great job at controlling those oily areas throughout the day. However I don’t find that it is as hydrating as some other products, and found myself using a thicker night cream some days. I think if I was oilier all over this moisturiser would work a lot better for me. The product has a lightweight, gel like texture, and absorbs quickly in to the skin. It comes in a pump bottle to easily dispense the amount you want
Controls Shine
I tried the CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser and I was very happy with the results!
I have combination skin, and I’ve struggled in the past to find products that don’t make my skin either too shiny or too dry/flaky. However this product from CeraVe seems to have solved my problem!
After continued use I noticed less shine on my skin, while still keeping my skin nicely hydrated. It doesn’t smell, and it feels nice and lightweight. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin either, which is a plus.
I was very pleased with this product, it’s a fair price, and I definitely recommend!
Great for oil control
I have recently started using the CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser on my combination skin and it’s been great! The moisturisers formula is lightweight and is able to hydrate my face without it feeling oily and heavy after application but leaving my face with a bit of a matte finish. The moisturiser is able to absorb into my skin quickly while still being moisturising to dry areas.
In addition, I have also noticed that throughout the day, areas such as my forehead and nose are not as shiny and oily. The pump is really handy and convenient.
Moisturiser like no other
To all my oily to combination skin girlies who are tired of spending the day glistening like a well-oiled roast, this moisturiser is the product for you! I have always been on the look out for a moisturiser that'll rehydrate my face without the after-application sheen that most moisturisers have. So when I was tasked to trial the CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser I had high hopes. CeraVe has pushed themselves to the top of the rehydration game and this product is no different. All you need is a small pump, and its light, gel-like consistency cream will leave you nice and hydrated! Perfect for the balmy BrisVegas weather! Highly recommend!
Game Changer
The CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser is an absolute game changer for my combination skin! Its light weight formula is more than enough to provide complete hydration without being a super heavy cream.
My skin tends to get very oily by the end of the day in the usual t-zone area BUT since using the CeraVe Oil Control Moisturiser over the last few weeks I have watched my oily t-zone become less and less. My skin is no longer oily and shiny at the end of the day which for me is amazing.
I’m also finding my makeup is lasting longer and looks a lot nicer when I use this cream first.
I love that it comes in a little pump bottle, making it very easy to apply to my skin.
Great matte and balancing moisturiser
This was a great moisturiser that is a handy tube to have in your skincare repertoire. I enjoyed using it, especially at night after using cleanser and toner that made my skin dry and provided the exact level of moisturisation i needed. I also really loved that it left a matte finish which I prefer.
I've always appreciated a pump feature so that it's super easy to dispense the exact amount you need to use and not waste any product. I found that it glided on my skin well and it didn't feel sticky or too heavy/thick. It absorbed well and didnt make me feel all oily. It also worked well with my combination skin managing my oily forehead with the skin around my nose that tended to be dry.
I took off a star because it suggests using it both morning and night. I did for the first few days but then I need to wear SPF during the day and found two layers of moisturiser was too much for my skin and felt heavy. So I later switched to using it at night after a serum and it worked very well for my needs and didn't cause me to wake up with breakouts.
