IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Mattifying Moisturizer — 2 oz hydrating, oil-control facial lotion for oily, acne-prone skin

IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Mattifying Moisturizer is a lightweight 2 oz facial lotion that hydrates oily, acne-prone skin while reducing excess shine for a smooth, matte finish.

This mattifying moisturizer pairs targeted oil-control with gentle hydration so skin feels balanced without flaking or looking greasy. The formula combines botanical actives, a peptide complex, turmeric extract and a form of vitamin B6 to help calm and support skin that tends to produce excess oil. Designed for daily AM and PM use after cleansing, it layers easily under SPF and makeup.

How does this moisturizer reduce shine without overdrying?

The product uses mattifying agents and lightweight emollients that absorb surface oil while maintaining skin moisture. Instead of stripping, it keeps the skin barrier supported so the skin doesn't rebound with more oil. Regular use helps skin appear less reflective throughout the day.

• Light, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly
• Mild mattifiers target excess surface sebum
• Hydrating actives preserve barrier function to prevent tightness

Which ingredients provide calming or acne-friendly benefits?

The formula includes turmeric extract known for soothing properties alongside a vitamin B6 derivative and a peptide-botanical complex designed to calm and support healthy-looking skin. These ingredients help address irritation and support an even surface without harsh exfoliation. The result is a formula suited to acne-prone skin that still needs daily moisture.

• Turmeric extract for antioxidant and calming support
• Vitamin B6 form to help balance skin physiology
• Peptide and botanical complex to maintain skin comfort and appearance

How should I fit this into my skincare routine?

Apply a small, even layer to cleansed skin in the morning and evening. In the morning, follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen; at night, it can be the final step or followed by a targeted treatment. Because it’s lightweight, it layers well under makeup or other serums.

• Use after cleanser and any water-based serums
• Apply before sunscreen during daytime
• Can be used with spot treatments — apply moisturizer after potent actives if needed

Will this help combination skin or just very oily types?

The moisturizer is formulated to suit oily and acne-prone complexions but can also benefit combination skin by reducing shine in oily zones while hydrating drier areas. Its balancing approach helps normalize skin appearance without creating patchy dryness. Adjust quantity by area — less on oily zones, a bit more where needed.

• Works well for oily T-zones and drier cheeks
• Use sparingly on oily areas to avoid buildup
• Suitable as a daily lightweight hydrator for mixed skin types

Who is this for: IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Mattifying Moisturizer is aimed at people with oily, acne-prone, or combination skin who want reliable daily hydration that controls surface shine. It’s a good pick for anyone seeking a lightweight lotion that layers under sunscreen and makeup and for those who prefer formulas that combine botanical extracts with targeted skin-balancing ingredients. Ideal for morning and evening routines, it supports a smoother, more matte-looking complexion without harsh dehydration.
