There’s a common myth that oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer, but this is absolutely not the case. It’s possible to have dehydrated oily skin, in fact, dehydrated skin attempts to compensate for the lack of moisture by producing more oil, thereby making your skin even oilier. Therefore the best solution is to keep your skin hydrated by consistently using a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer. Anything too rich and creamy could be too heavy for your skin, so it’s better to stick to either light, milky creams or gel textures. These five drugstore formulas are great for keeping oily skin hydrated, thereby helping to control oil.
