8 Best Moisturisers For Oily, Acne-Prone Skin That Will Soothe & Hydrate Without Clogging Pores
Contrary to popular belief, anyone can have dehydrated skin, even those with an oily skin type.
While dry skin is a skin type that lacks oil, dehydrated skin lacks water and is caused by external factors like the environment, diet and irritants in skincare and cosmetics. In fact, oily skin that's dehydrated over produces oil to compensate for the lack of moisture.
If you have oily skin, the right moisturiser will protect your skin's moisture barrier and balance oil production without clogging your pores.
Keep reading to check out the 8 best non-comedogenic & oil-free moisturisers for oily skin that you can get in Singapore!
