But, in fact, your oily skin could just be a cry for hydration. \u201cSometimes your glands produce more oil than normal because it\u2019s dehydrated,\u201d says Vanessa Marc, celebrity aesthetician and owner of Vanessa Marc Spa. So, in other words, \u201cYou should still use a daily moisturizer,\u201d says CareMount Medical dermatologist Melanie A. Warycha.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find the best on the market for oily skin types, we consulted Warycha, Marc, and six other experts, including Shamara Bondaroff, founder of SB Skin, who has this additional tip to keep in mind: Don\u2019t excessively clean your face or use a harsh toner, either. \u201cStripping your skin will only cause it to produce more oil,\u201d she notes. The options below manage to hydrate with mostly oil-free ingredients and don\u2019t feel heavy or greasy, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/zI5sRelwNkxw3-YOVRrX-kg0NDxo73l8p4TmlvyDDra5HS3KWq3bkcn0_Yg9-RfGH0BTUWMLiqK0sYZouakNZlX6hu0677vsWOVz3quirzQOXsLv6Dmaq2fQj1NTj4agEI17J16dJFi-skl2lR8z3A\" alt=\"\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/zI5sRelwNkxw3-YOVRrX-kg0NDxo73l8p4TmlvyDDra5HS3KWq3bkcn0_Yg9-RfGH0BTUWMLiqK0sYZouakNZlX6hu0677vsWOVz3quirzQOXsLv6Dmaq2fQj1NTj4agEI17J16dJFi-skl2lR8z3A\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Warycha and Hadley King, clinical instructors of dermatology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, recommend Neutrogena\u2019s Hydro Boost Water Gel for oily skin types \u2014 though it\u2019s been recommended by experts countless other times for dry skin types, the rosacea-prone, and even pregnant women, too. Derms love this stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the Hydro Boost being non-comedogenic, alcohol- and oil-free, it also contains glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which, King explains, \u201care both humectants, so they can hydrate the skin without the need for emollients that may feel too heavy for oily skin.\u201d It\u2019s also a favorite of Dr. Kenneth Howe, a cosmetic dermatologist at Wexler Dermatology, who adds, \u201cIts lightweight gel formulation goes well with oily skin,\u201d and it also happens to be a personal favorite of his 14-year-old son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/d2ggTRDK2Rer1QCdUl0FWpw3q3_B8x6ObJprRGtSNjZw3WRv_rexaIWRyvrcYu2CApbfUubZPcgVDVX-1SGgxzevMoWFilOGcAxVg9rlTcn9ISIREeb-ODyFTHABvx9RlQ41rl8gs7CHIV7V7Scvlg\" alt=\"\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/d2ggTRDK2Rer1QCdUl0FWpw3q3_B8x6ObJprRGtSNjZw3WRv_rexaIWRyvrcYu2CApbfUubZPcgVDVX-1SGgxzevMoWFilOGcAxVg9rlTcn9ISIREeb-ODyFTHABvx9RlQ41rl8gs7CHIV7V7Scvlg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>SkinMedica Ultra Sheer Moisturizer<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alabama-based dermatologist Corey L. Hartman\u2019s patients keep coming back to this moisturizer. \u201cIt\u2019s a crowd favorite, and even though it has been around for years it continues to excel,\u201d he says. The allure is in the ingredients. Packed with vitamin E and C (both of which neutralize free radicals in the environment) and hyaluronic acid (an oily skin staple), it moisturizes while still being incredibly lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/YxvDKRfuerFgtQilxONlrdDWkA7nm0w43kUBNTk34f4ojaFX95t6rNIYth9--gItto6sFkDT6k9SopmJ7MHpPpxcmuDg6zMMpqRsnu994ROVjTAIpRhAXUo_vG6wYse-8_vGeajPVy7XDlq4iMGX9g\" alt=\"\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/YxvDKRfuerFgtQilxONlrdDWkA7nm0w43kUBNTk34f4ojaFX95t6rNIYth9--gItto6sFkDT6k9SopmJ7MHpPpxcmuDg6zMMpqRsnu994ROVjTAIpRhAXUo_vG6wYse-8_vGeajPVy7XDlq4iMGX9g\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cerave Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not your traditional moisturizer, but this serum is another favorite of Howe\u2019s and one he says can be used alone as a light moisturizer. Not only does it contain hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, which he says \u201chas a calming, anti-inflammatory effect on the skin,\u201d but it also contains ceramides \u2014 the ingredient that makes this moisturizer-esque. Howe explains that ceramides are the fatty component on the outer layers of our skin, or, the \u201c\u2018mortar\u2019 in the brick and mortar composition of the epidermis.\u201d All of these ingredients combined allow this to constitute \u201cmore of a full-service moisturizer\u201d than serum in Howe\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brooklyn-based oculofacial plastic surgeon and founder of epi.logic Skincare Dr. Chaneve Jeanniton also likes hyaluronic acid for oily skin. \u201cHyaluronic acid is an easy choice for oily skin because it won\u2019t clog pores or leave a heavy residue but it still provides an impactful amount of moisture,\u201d she says, adding that serum with hyaluronic acid is often enough to keep skin hydrated and balanced. She likes this hydrating gel from Skinceuticals in particular, which contains hyaluronic acid and B5, the two ingredients working together to fortify the skin\u2019s barrier and lock moisture into the skin. She also likes the Collagen Renew Growth Factor Serum from her own line, which uses growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and peptides to keep skin hydrated, smooth, and firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your face is overproducing natural oils, it can seem counterintuitive to reach for a moisturizer.
