Cetaphil Face Moisturizer, Gentle Clear Mattifying Acne Moisturizer, 0.5% Salicylic Acid, 3 fl oz

This is the best moisturizer for people who tend to get clogged pores. It has a silky texture, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. I have acne-prone skin, and this hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts. The mattifying effect is subtle but noticeable, especially throughout the day. It layers well under makeup and sunscreen too. Overall, a great everyday option if you want something gentle that still targets breakouts without drying your skin out.

I've tried a few matte moisturizer on the market in preparation for summer skincare. I have combination skin and live in dry climate, combined with tretinoin use my face can be dry but still produce shine. It gets worse in summer. My goal is to find a moisturizer that doesn't dry me out further but still controls the shine and I think I have achieved my goal with this amazing moisturizer. This particular moisturizer feels very moisturizing and gentle, does not irritate my skin, plays well with my daily 0.05% tretinoin cream and my twice daily 15% azelaic acid gel. It is fragrance free. It dries semi matte, not powdery matte but more of a natural matte which I love. My skin doesn't get tight after it dries, which is what bothered me with most other previous matte moisturizers I tried. It goes under my semi matte sunscreen beautifully without pilling. With the help of this moisturizer, my skin stays the same natural matte finish the whole day whereas my sunscreen was only able to maintain about 2 hours max of matte finish alone. I hope cetaphil never stops selling this amazing moisturizer, I already purchased a back up and a back up for my back up!
