VICHY Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet Gel Moisturizer for Oily/Combination Skin, 48H Hydration & Shine Control

VICHY Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet is a lightweight gel moisturizer that hydrates up to 48 hours while delivering a cooling, mattifying finish for combination to oily skin.

This sorbet-textured gel from VICHY blends Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid and Vichy Volcanic Water to lock in moisture, reduce shine and create a smooth, primer-ready canvas. Fast-absorbing and non-greasy, the formula is fragrance- and silicone-free, dermatologist-tested, and designed to support the skin barrier while controlling excess oil throughout the day.

How does this moisturizer keep oily skin hydrated without feeling greasy?

The gel base sits lightly on the skin and releases water-binding Hyaluronic Acid to plump and hydrate without adding oil. Mattifying powders absorb surface sebum for a dry-touch finish, while Niacinamide helps skin retain moisture so it stays balanced longer.

• Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration without heaviness
• Mattifying powders to control shine instantly
• Light, fast-absorbing gel texture for non-greasy wear
• 48-hour hydration performance for extended comfort

Can I use Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet under makeup or as a primer?

Yes — the sorbet formula doubles as a mattifying primer that smooths texture and reduces shine, helping foundation apply more evenly and last longer. It creates a soft, non-sticky base ideal for combination to oily skin types.

• Primer-like finish that smooths pores and fine texture
• Reduces midday shine for longer makeup wear
• Lightweight feel prevents pilling under cosmetics

What active ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula combines hydrating, barrier-supporting and oil-regulating actives to address multiple skin needs. Each ingredient plays a specific role: Hyaluronic Acid hydrates, Niacinamide improves moisture retention and texture, Salicylic Acid helps manage excess oil and refine pores, and Vichy Volcanic Water brings minerals to strengthen the skin’s resilience.

• Hyaluronic Acid: moisture retention and plumping
• Niacinamide: supports barrier and evens skin texture
• Salicylic Acid: gentle oil control and pore refinement
• Vichy Volcanic Water: mineral-rich support for the skin barrier

How should I apply the sorbet moisturizer for best results?

Apply a thin, even layer to cleansed skin morning and night. Use it alone for daily hydration and shine control or let it set briefly before applying makeup as a mattifying base.

• Use on cleansed, toned skin for optimal absorption
• Apply sparingly to T-zone if you have mixed oiliness
• Layer under sunscreen in daytime routines
• Reapply within your routine if extra mattifying is needed

Who is this for: VICHY Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet is formulated for men and women with combination to oily skin, including sensitive types seeking a lightweight hydrator that tames shine. It suits anyone wanting a refreshing, cooling gel that supports the skin barrier, acts as a makeup primer, and gives long-lasting hydration without greasiness.
