Title: Life changing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Review: The review did not lie, this moisturizer is life changing. I am EXTREMELY oily 24/7, nothing seemed to help reduce the oil. I have a good skin care routine but I was constantly always oily, even when wearing makeup.I decided to try this based off the reviews and WOW!! My skin has not bene oily at all. It really does help and make a huge difference! It does hit dry your face but also keeps you very moisturized and hydrated. It’s not think it’s a very lightweight moisturizer.Even when I wake up I would be super oily this has helped my skin beyond what I could of imagined. I will definitely be adding this to my must need skin care.

Title: FINALLY FOUND A MOISTURIZER THAT CONTROLS THE OIL ON MY FACE
Review: Im 42 and still have a very oily skin. Im a flight attendant and wears light make up to work. As soon as i get to thw airport, my skin is already shiny and oily. I have tried tons of moisturizer, and THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKED. It’s has a matte finish. No sticky feel at all. i still use some oil film to freshen up, but this time 1 is enough, i use to use 3-4 oil films. I noticed that the oil on my face is down by 70% on the first application. that’s a lot for me! I will buy this again when i finish it. Im really satisfied with this one.

Title: Perfect for Oily Skin – Finally Found My Go-To Moisturizer
Review: I’ve tried a lot of moisturizers over the years, but this one really stands out. The CeraVe Oil Control Gel-Cream hits the sweet spot for oily skin—super lightweight, absorbs fast, and leaves a clean matte finish that actually lasts through the day. No shine by noon, which for me is a big deal.What I love is that it hydrates without feeling heavy. My skin feels balanced, not dry or greasy. It’s also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, which I appreciate because my skin tends to react to strong scents or thick formulas.After a few weeks of consistent use, I’ve noticed fewer breakouts and less midday oiliness. I genuinely feel like my skin just looks healthier.Highly recommended if you’re looking for a solid daily moisturizer that actually controls oil without compromising on hydration

Title: Wow! Wow! Wow!
Review: Believe the great reviews, it really is that good. At 42 I’d always thought by now my skin would FINALLY stop being oily, but nope, genetics determined it’s for life apparently. I’m just as crazy oily at this age as ever. *sigh*Obviously, as we get older though, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles become more of a priority, so I don’t love using extremely drying or harsh products for the oil issue either.Normally I always carry with me oil blotting papers (which I highly recommend). I use those within 2 hours of doing my makeup and that’s even when I’ve already used an oil absorbing primer, etc. Then I continue to have to use blotting papers to touch up throughout the day, every couple of hours or so. I’m THAT freaking oily. It’s such a pain and a little embarrassing to get shiny so fast around others, as I’m sure many reading this can relate to, no doubt.Suffice it to say that I’ve tried tons, and I mean TONS, of oil absorbing products over the years. While some work a bit better than others (by the way, if you’re looking for a matte primer that does indeed control oil longer, I’d suggest trying Rimmel’s Stay Matte in the purple and white tube), but none of the primers or moisturizers or treatment creams I’ve tried ever really worked wonders for how quickly my face produces oil. So I’d basically given up on the hope that any product was going to really knock it out of the park for my particular needs.Enter CeraVe oil control moisturizer.I’m shocked. Totally shocked. The first time I put it on, I made sure my face was super clean and I applied nothing else but this product. I checked the time so I could gauge how long the matte effect lasted.For starters, this moisturizer feels amazing! Smooth and hydrating, your skin drinks it in immediately, and you’re left with an instant matte yet moisturized and baby-smooth feel that leaves you wanting to touch your face just to enjoy it. You don’t have to wait forever for it to dry and it plays beautifully under makeup without pilling.But the real shock occurred when I touched my face a little over two hours after application. AND IT WASSTILL DRY. No oil. My jaw dropped.No other products I’ve tried have done this for me.Needless to say, I’m going to be stockpiling this stuff!!!! It’s so perfect in nearly every way. I freaking love it. I knew CeraVe was a good brand, but wow, they nailed it with this one!

Title: Very good oil control moisturizer
Review: I’ve tried most if not all of CeraVe’s products over the years, and in my opinion, this is probably their best moisturizer for oilier skin (and their Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 in the pump tube is their best SPF moisturizer/sunscreen). It gives plenty of hydration but never makes me look or feel oilier. The finish is natural going on and as the day progresses, it has a subtle but definite mattifying effect. Excellent, simple product that does what it says, at a good price, and actually comes in a decent size.

Title: Not the best
Review: Personally i felt this moisturizer was greasy. I don’t really struggle with oily skin but this definitely made my skin 10x shinier. Stuck it on a shelf to use as backup but definitely not something I reach for.
