What's the best moisturiser for oily skin?

Immediate Answer: Light, non-comedogenic moisturisers with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid hydrate oily skin without heaviness. Oily skin still needs hydration—skipping moisturiser can lead to over-production of sebum to compensate for dryness.

The Science: Oily skin produces excess sebum, which creates shine and can clog pores. The mistake most people make: they skip moisturiser, hoping to reduce oiliness. Instead, dehydrated skin signals your sebaceous glands to produce more sebum—you end up oilier.

Solution: Use lightweight, hydrating moisturisers that address dehydration without adding heaviness. Niacinamide helps by reducing sebum overproduction while supporting hydration.

How Nordic Formula Helps: Power Glow Serum contains niacinamide (helps reduce sebum) and hyaluronic acid (lightweight hydration). At night, Advanced Face Repair is a light cream that absorbs quickly into the skin—it's not heavy or greasy, making it suitable even for oily skin types. You don't need heavy occlusion; you need hydration and sebum balance.

Pro Tip: Oily skin still needs SPF daily, but use lightweight, mattifying sunscreens rather than heavy creamy ones. Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 is formulated to avoid excess shine while providing full sun protection.
