If you have oily skin, you’ve probably experienced the challenge of finding a balance between keeping your skin hydrated and not feeling greasy. Many people with oily skin tend to avoid moisturisers and hydrating products, thinking that their skin has enough oil. However, hydration is key to maintaining healthy skin, even for those with excess oil production.
Skipping hydration can actually make your skin oilier, as your skin may overcompensate for the lack of moisture by producing more sebum. The solution? Opt for lightweight, non-greasy hydrating products which you can layer together, that nourish your skin without clogging pores or causing breakouts. Below are three excellent hydrating products designed specifically for oily and combination skin types.
Why Oily Skin Still Needs Hydration
It’s a common misconception that oily skin doesn’t need moisture, but all skin types need hydration to stay balanced and healthy. When you skip moisturisers, your skin might go into overdrive, producing more oil in response to dehydration. Hydrated skin also looks smoother, plumper, and more radiant.
For oily skin, the trick is finding products that hydrate without feeling heavy or greasy. These three super hydrating products are lightweight and ideal for those with oily and combination skin, providing deep moisture without clogging pores or adding to the shine.
For oily and combination, blemish-prone skin
- Restores skin’s moisture level
- Normalises skin microflora
- Balances skin’s pH level
- Regulates sebum production
For those with oily, blemish-prone skin, the Forlle'd AC Clear Lotion is a must-have. This refreshing and lightweight lotion provides essential hydration while regulating excess oil production. It balances your skin’s microflora, neutralising harmful bacteria and promoting a healthy environment for your skin.
By maintaining the skin’s natural pH level, this lotion ensures that your skin remains calm and balanced throughout the day. It’s especially helpful for preparing the skin to absorb the active ingredients in any products you apply afterward. If you struggle with oily or combination skin, the Forlle'd AC Clear Lotion will give you the hydration you need without the heaviness you want to avoid.
For immediate in-depth hydration; wrinkle and fine line reduction
- Delivers deep hydration to both dermis and epidermis
- Improves skin elasticity and firmness
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Brightens and refreshes skin
The Forlle'd Hyalogy P-Effect Reliance Gel is an incredible multi-functional gel that deeply hydrates and rejuvenates the skin without clogging pores. Its lightweight, low-molecular-weight formula ensures that moisture is delivered deep into the skin, helping to firm and smooth the complexion while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Despite its intense hydration properties, this gel remains light on the skin, making it an excellent choice for oily or combination skin types. It works both as a daily moisturiser and as an occasional hydrating mask. To use it as a mask, apply a thick layer 2–3 times a week, leave it on for 15 minutes, and then remove any excess product with a warm compress.
If you're looking for a product that hydrates and revitalizes while remaining non-greasy, the Forlle'd Hyalogy P-Effect Reliance Gel is a perfect fit.
A lightweight water-based serum designed to hydrate, brighten and plump the skin
- Provides deep hydration and plumps the skin
- Lightweight and non-greasy
- Helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles
The Vitamin C Serum is another fantastic lightweight option, particularly designed to give your skin a refreshing "drink" of hydration after cleansing. Its water-based formula is ideal for oily skin as it hydrates without adding any weight or oil to the skin. The serum also helps to plump up fine lines and give your complexion a smoother, more radiant appearance.
Vitamin C is well-known for its brightening and antioxidant properties, which means this serum can also help to even out skin tone while protecting the skin from environmental stressors. If you’re looking for a simple yet effective way to hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, the Vitamin C Serum is an excellent option for oily skin types.
The Importance of Sun Protection
So this is kind of product '3.1'. After applying these hydrating products, it’s essential to finish your skincare routine with an effective sunscreen. Oily skin needs sun protection just as much as dry or normal skin, and finding a sunscreen that doesn’t feel greasy is key.
4. Nimue SPF 40
Lightweight, non-oily emulsion base that offers high broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection
- Provides high UVA/UVB protection
- Lightweight and non-greasy
- Offers anti-aging benefits
- Aids in DNA protection and repair
The Nimue SPF 40 is a lightweight sunscreen (tinted or clear) that’s perfect for oily skin, offering high-level UVA/UVB protection without leaving your skin feeling greasy or sticky. Its non-oily emulsion base is ideal for those with oily skin, as it absorbs quickly into the skin while still providing long-lasting protection from harmful UV rays.
What makes this sunscreen stand out is its dual focus: it not only shields your skin from sun damage but also offers anti-aging benefits, helping to reduce and prevent visible signs of photo-aging. It also aids in DNA protection and repair, ensuring your skin stays healthy and resilient.
Building the Nimue SPF 40 into your daily routine will protect your skin from sun damage while keeping it hydrated and looking fresh all day long. Remember, even oily skin can be prone to dehydration and sun damage, so applying sunscreen is a vital final step in any skincare routine.
How to Incorporate These Hydrating Products Into Your Routine
For oily skin, it’s essential to maintain hydration while also controlling excess oil and shine. Here’s how you can incorporate these super-hydrating products into your daily skincare routine:
1. After cleansing, apply 5 drops of the Forlle'd ACClear Lotion to balance your skin’s microflora and pH level. This helps prepare your skin for the next steps, ensuring optimal absorption of your following skincare products.
2. Next, apply the Vitamin C Serum to hydrate and plump your skin. Its lightweight, water-based formula will sink in quickly and leave your skin feeling refreshed without any greasy residue.
3. Follow up with the Forlle'd Hyalogy P-Effect Reliance Gel for a deeper layer of hydration. This gel locks in moisture while also firming and rejuvenating the skin, helping you achieve that smooth, glowing complexion without adding excess oil.
4. Finish with Nimue SPF 40 to protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays. This sunscreen is lightweight, non-oily, and packed with anti-aging benefits, making it the perfect match for oily skin.
I totally understand it can be daunting at first to use 'super hydrating' products and not fear that they will be too heavy or greasy on the skin. These products however will keep your skin looking plump, glowwy and hydrated without the heaviness or greasiness of a rich cream.
