Hi there! Happy Monday! And Happy Summer : )

I have oily/combo skin and it can be hard to find an S.P.F for my face that doesn’t make me an oil slick or cause breakouts, so I often use a moisturizer and then add a face S.P.F over it. But that adds another step to my morning routine and requires me to purchase two products.

About Cetaphil Pro Oily Skin Oil Absorbing Moisturizer

*Note: This product was previously called Cetaphil DermaControl Moisturizer.

On their website, it says that the Cetaphil PRO Oil Absorbing Moisturizer SPF 30 is clinically proven to absorb oil. It soothes dry skin and reduces shine while moisturizing skin. This broad spectrum formula protects against the sun’s harmful rays and UV damage.

Product Claims

4-in-1 formula to help absorb oil, reduce shine, hydrate and provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection

Micropearl technology absorbs surface oil, helps reduce shine and gives skin a matte finish
Lightweight, non-greasy, absorbs quickly

My Thoughts

FINALLY! I love this product! I use this daily on my face, décolletage, and hands. I have not experienced any breakouts with this product, and while I don’t find that it makes my skin extra matte, it doesn’t make me oily any faster like a lot of other face sunscreens I have tried.

My Routine

I wash my face (this is my favorite drugstore cleanser), use a toner (this one!), my brightening eye cream (this one), and then finally I use 1-2 pumps of the Cetaphil Pro Oily Skin Oil Absorbing Moisturizer in circular, upwards motions.
