The best moisturisers for oily skin that won’t break the bank

Keep it simple with the Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Face Moisturiser. This oil-free, hyaluronic acid-based moisturiser is a great pick for anyone with oily but sensitive skin. This keeps the skin feeling comfortable and hydrated without being overloaded with moisture but controls any excess oil sitting on the surface of the skin.

Customer review: "Didn't want to get a moisturiser as I thought moisturising would make my face oily. This Cetaphil is brilliant, makes the dry areas on my face smooth and supple yet it has no oily feel. When I put it on, it just dries instantly and I can't even feel that it's there. Perfect."

We all know and love the celebrity fave Weleda Skin Food Light moisturiser, and now those with oilier skin can fall in love with it, too. A lighter version of the original icon, ideal for those who prefer a light moisturiser in the summer months but with the added benefits of the skin-loving ingredients. This will ensure the skin is hydrated, your oil levels are balanced, and the skin continues to look radiant - without looking or feeling greasy.

Celebrities such as Kaz Kamwi say: "I love Weleda Skin Food which was introduced to me by the girls on the show [Mary Bedford and Chloe Burrows are both big fans]. I use it as a primer and it's so good. It really hydrates the skin and gives you a glowy, healthy look. You literally look like you've put a little bit of oil on your face, it's so good. It's a really great primer but it's universal. It works for all skin types and tones, too."

The La Roche Posey Effaclar range is made specifically for those with oily, combination and blemish-prone skin. The MAT+ moisturiser is for those who are craving some shine control. Forget using blotting sheets, this moisturiser is what you've been looking for. It features micro-powders to absorb any excess oil to keep the skin feeling matte throughout the day.

Customer review: "Finally found the best moisturizer for my oily skin. Lightweight, non-greasy and the best thing is I don't have to keep using blotting paper throughout my day. Will definitely purchase again."

A super gentle moisturiser is full of skin-loving ingredients. The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + HA moisturiser keeps it simple and focuses on ingredients that benefit the skin in their products. This moisturiser keeps your skincare routine nice and easy, ensuring that your skin is coated and hydrated with hyaluronic acid, but any shine is controlled.

Customer review: "I love this moisturiser!  I’d describe my age 46/skin as oily and acne-prone, however, the older I get, the drier it feels!  It feels tight and itchy.  Traditional acne treatments are too harsh and strip my skin.  This moisturiser provides the moisture I need without making my spots worse. I use it as my day moisturiser, the texture is nice - not too heavy.  The price point is amazing.  I love The Ordinary’s products.  My skin has changed for the better since introducing this, Squalane Cleanser and the Niacinamide serum twice a day. Great light moisturiser at a great price point!"

Customer review: "Bought this on Imogen's (beauty blogger) recommendation and OH MY!! This is the best skincare I've ever had in my life. I have combination skin but the dry and sensitive formula works great for me. It is not greasy AT ALL and leaves your skin soft and hydrated, soaks right in and serves as an amazing make-up base. For £6 it is the dream in the bottle, just try it you'll never go back to your regular moisturiser."

Customer review: "I got a free sample of this and woah, it was amazing. I have suffered with such oily skin for years and believe me I have tried everything and nothing worked. This is amazing, just from the sample I got, it made me buy it straight away. It has stopped my oily skin 100%... made my skin feel like silk. 10/10 for me."

Customer review: "If you're an oily skin guy or girl listen up! I'm on my fourth jar of this stuff and I cannot believe it's not gone viral. It is the BEST moisturiser/SPF if you have oily skin. It's lightweight but does really hydrate your face. It's so cheap and one jar lasts me ages!"
