Kate Somerville Oil Free Moisturizer for Oily & Combination Skin, 1.7 fl oz — Lightweight, Matte Hydration

Kate Somerville Oil Free Moisturizer is a lightweight, fragrance-free daily face cream designed to hydrate oily and combination skin without leaving a greasy finish. This clinically informed formula was developed in Kate Somerville’s clinic to deliver hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and control surface oil for a smoother, more matte-looking complexion. Fast-absorbing and gentle, the cream is made without fragrances, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, SLES or SLS, and combines amino acid derivatives with marine-derived ingredients to support skin texture and resilience.

How does this moisturizer hydrate without adding shine?

The formula uses non-comedogenic humectants and lightweight emollients that attract and lock in moisture while avoiding heavy oils that cause shine. It absorbs quickly so skin feels soft rather than slick, helping makeup sit better and pores look less pronounced.

• Oil-free base prevents surface greasiness
• Fast-absorbing consistency for immediate matte feel
• Ingredients support hydration without clogging pores

What active ingredients help improve skin texture?

Key actives include essential amino acid derivatives to support the skin’s natural repair processes and marine-derived algae that contribute to firmness and tone. These ingredients work together to soften the look of lines and create a smoother skin surface over time when used consistently.

• Essential amino acid derivatives to support resilience
• Red marine algae for a firmer appearance
• Algae-based tighteners to refine skin texture

When and how should I include it in my routine?

Use morning and night after cleansing and any serums or treatments. Apply a thin, even layer to clean face and neck, allowing it to fully absorb before sunscreen or makeup to ensure the matte, non-greasy finish performs as intended.

• Apply twice daily after serums and treatments
• Use a thin layer for optimal absorption and finish
• Follow with SPF in the morning for daytime protection

Is this safe for acne-prone or sensitive oily skin?

Formulated without common irritants like fragrances and harsh sulfates, it’s suited for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin that needs hydration without triggers. As with any new product, patch testing is recommended if you have heightened sensitivity or active irritation.

• Fragrance-free and free of common irritants
• Non-comedogenic approach minimizes pore congestion
• Clinically informed formulation from Kate Somerville’s clinic
