The Best Skin Care Products for Oily Skin

All skin produces oil, but your skin may naturally produce more oil than the average person. This skin deserves special treatment, since many skin care products are too heavy or contain aggravating ingredients that only make oily skin worse. Keep your oily skin healthy, moisturized and looking matte with a wide selection of oily skin-specific products, chosen as the best in their category by beauty industry insiders.

Clinique Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer

Clinique's version of its Super Rescue moisturizer, labeled specifically for combination oily to oily skin, was rated as one of the top oily skin moisturizers by Paula Begoun, author of "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me." She liked how it includes antioxidants, wrinkle-smoothing silicone, skin-hydrating emollients and herbal extracts that can soothe irritated skin. Because it contains no fragrance, even sensitive skin users can use it.

DDF Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew SPF 15

DDF's oil-free sunscreen won one of the top finalist positions in the Cosmetic Executive Women's beauty awards in 2009, one of the makeup and cosmetic industry's largest trade group award ceremonies. It moisturizes your skin with standard humectants and emollients, and contains no oil to keep your oily skin clear without clogging your pores. It also shields against both UVB and UVA rays to help prevent premature signs of aging, like skin discoloration and wrinkles, that may arise after exposure to ultraviolet light. Antioxidants and aloe vera also help to condition the skin.

Olay Regenerist Eye Regenerating Cream

Keep the delicate skin around your eyes looking fresh, hydrated and wrinkle-free without using heavy products that mix with your natural oils and weigh down your lids. Olay's Regenerist eye cream was ranked by Begoun as the best eye treatment for oily and combination skin. She says its lightweight and silky and contains "exceptional" anti-aging treatments like antioxidants, skin conditioners and niacinamide. It also comes with titanium dioxide, which adds pigment to the cream and cosmetically enhances your eyes to hide blemishes, skin discoloration and dark under-eye circles.

Shiseido Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Paper

Keep oil in check throughout the day with oil blotting papers. Elle magazine loved Shiseido's blotting paper, saying it helps to keep your makeup and skin looking flawless by keeping excess perspiration and oil at bay. It also comes brushed with powder to subtly enhance your matte look.
