Help! Moisturizer leaves skin too oily!

I've always had oily acne prone skin and now that I'm getting older it's very dry and flaky. All the moisturizers I've ever tried leave my skin shiny, slick, and oily looking and it highlights all the scars and imperfections. If I go without moisturizer though it looks so dry. Cetaphil might have actually been the worst. Any recommendations for a moisturizer that sinks into the skin and leaves it soft without being shiny and leaving my skin an oily mess..m and doesn't clog pores? I prefer something not too expensive, and preferably on the natural side, but open to all suggestions. TIA!

Try Murad oil control mattifier it's awesome! Someone recommended to me on here and it's amazing! I have your skin to a T! Cetaphil makes my skin worse and causes break outs!

You definitely need the Rodan + Fields soothe line- its non-comedogenic (will not clog pores) and is formulated by the Dermatologists that created ProActiv. All our products carry a full 60-day money back guarantee-- even if the jar is completely empty

Go on Paula's Choice.com and check out options for oily or oily to normal skin.
Her stuff is awesome and you can customize it to your skin's needs

And then yes, use the Muard Oil Control Matifier before putting om make up

LUSH Magical Moringa, look it up it is AMAZING! It has cornstarch in it so it mattifies your face and makes it soooooo soft

Boscia oil free moisturizer is the *best*!! It's one of the few products I buy over and over for years.

I use the Resist Line.
But if you have oily skin, look for the ones that are made for oily/combination. I forgot the name of it

This one looks like it would be good for you


Skin Balancing Gel Moisturizer

Anything you don't like you can return with no issues, their customer service is great

I think gel moisturizers are usually recommended for oily skin.
