Recommend a rich face cream

I have oily problem skin, now I smear myself with Azelik, because no matter what cream I use, none of them are suitable. and the feeling after them on the face is unpleasant, and the pores become clogged, the skin becomes worse. Both expensive and not... nothing fits. You need something light, not greasy, so that your face doesn’t shine like a pancake afterwards, and you don’t feel the cream at all. Owners of oily skin - what do you use?

Avene is a French company, sold only in pharmacies. They have a series with a matte effect. In general, almost all of their creams are light

I apply panthenol cream. It’s not sticky and doesn’t shine.

Also for Aven, a pharmacy company, the main thing is to find a large selection

The lundenilona serum suits my oily skin, it is very light, it is not felt or noticeable on the skin

Serums/serums are suitable for oily skin.

Shiseido (Japan) line Ibuki serum or their Ultimeid serum, super for my oily skin, light, very pleasant.

I absolutely don’t want to offend anyone, but I, for example, tried everything listed above for my oily skin. Aven may feel light, BUT the composition is. I have oily combination skin, I have tried absolutely all drugstore brands, not only Avene, and luxury ones too. Shiseido is generally pure silicone, read the ingredients of their products. basically like all luxury brands. Nothing fit perfectly. Aven, along with other pharmacy brands, really feels light, but there is still no effect. For myself, I realized that I needed to find a cream without silicones in the composition. I found several such creams from the natural cosmetics manufacturer Erbelinica. They have high-quality formulations without silicones, the lightest structure of creams, especially for the summer they have a cream-gel with plantain, it has such a pleasant consistency and aroma that you just want to douse yourself with this cream, which is what I actually started doing - using it on the body too) Sincerely I advise you to try their cosmetics and not only creams! I am also familiar with natural cosmetics from the manufacturer Mi&Ko. I haven’t tried their creams, but I use care products for spa treatments (gels, scrubs and *****.) The effect is amazing, it is visible, it is felt, the skin becomes polished and well-groomed. In general, sorry for the lengthy text, I just discovered these brands and I want to share this joy with everyone who also needs it :)

Aven may feel light, BUT the composition is.

As I wrote in the first post, all luxury and pharmacy brands use silicones in their products, which improve the structure of the cream, and sometimes also mineral oil (they have the same essence for oily skin). It is silicone substances that give the effect and feeling of clogged pores on OILY skin. Dry and normal skin respond well to silicones; they undoubtedly improve the quality of the product, or rather the quality of application and effect. But they are not compatible with oily skin and form a very thin film, which in its own way creates a greenhouse effect on oily, porous skin types. But this is my personal experience, although scientific articles also talk about exactly this. But in addition to silicones, pharmaceutical and luxury creams contain a large amount of chemically produced substances, but organic plant ingredients are in very small quantities, usually in the very last places in the composition, so they a priori cannot improve the skin and show an effect only during their use. In addition, in our well-known chain stores, the presence of non-original luxury cosmetics is not excluded, so it is better not to deal with them for oily and problem skin. I made a choice for myself in favor of professional Israeli and natural cosmetics.

I make masks from Clearwin cream (5 minutes maximum) this is for treating oiliness, and I really like the cream Garnier moisturizing 24 hours - very light

Well, I recommended two brands of natural cosmetics that I tried on myself and which showed results. Erbelinica (the manufacturer itself has an online store with very good delivery conditions) and Mi&Ko (they also have their own online store, but it is located in Kirov, and I am in Moscow, so I buy from its dealer in the store). I’m not imposing, I just tried a lot of products, both luxury and pharmacy, to a small extent mass market, simply because I always saved on other things, about cosmetics I thought the more expensive the better), the results were temporary, but there was no feeling of comfort from what. And I started thinking about what was wrong, I started reading reviews about the products, looking at the ingredients, and that’s how I came to nature. and prof. cosmetics. I agree that not everyone has the money for professional ones, when I tried natural products myself, I switched completely to this cosmetics because it’s cheaper, there are results and it’s very nice to know what you put on your face every day. And I myself tried the products of these brands and the very direction of natural cosmetics, I also tried it for the first time for myself and I saw the result, that’s why I gave advice here, maybe it can help someone too. I repeat, the products are quite affordable, at prices on par with pharmacy ones and lower.

Author, try SesDerma professional cosmetics. The brand is specially created for people with various skin problems. There are a lot of lines. A cosmetologist will help you figure it out. I buy from an online store, there is a very large selection, a hairdresser provides consultations, prices have increased. but very effective. For oily skin there are many lines Azelac, Mandelac, C-Vit. All this is sold in salons, the choice is only smaller,

try multivitamin health&beauty or low-fat. For the summer, low-fat was very suitable for me.
Now I’m switching to Debora cosmetics, before that I used N.O.I.cosmetics il favorito for several months - natural cosmetics from Israel.

oily skin is an imbalance in the skin, you probably use a lot of products and dry out the skin even more, and the skin resists this and begins to secrete even more oil... I myself had such a problem, an integrated approach helped, these are peelings and moisturizing creams (good pharmaceutical ones) brands) that do not clog pores. a very good and affordable remedy is black clay, you can add a couple of drops of tea tree oil, apply a moisturizer every other day and after, this way you will tighten and moisturize properly..))

Many women are looking for a cream for oily skin, without understanding how to find the right product. After all, in fact, this type of epidermis has a lot of problems - greasy shine, enlarged pores, acne, pimples. And she, oily skin, needs hydration, nutrition and protection no less than any other.

To successfully search, you need to arm yourself with some knowledge, determine priorities (the presence of the entire list of problems or one in particular), understand the abundance of chemical terms and finally make the long-awaited purchase.

Interesting fact. Owners of oily skin, having a whole “bouquet” of unpleasant problems, are protected from one thing – the premature appearance of wrinkles. Indeed, with this type, age-related changes in the form of folds appear much later than, for example, in young ladies with sensitive and thin epidermis.

What should you consider when choosing a cream?

To choose the “right” cream for oily and problematic facial skin, which will be beneficial and allow you to cope with existing defects, let’s listen to the advice of professionals.

1. Before going to the store, make a list of pre-selected products. The Internet will help you do this, where you can find reviews and ratings for almost every product.
2. Pay attention to the presence of all relevant certificates, which must be available to the seller. If they refuse to show you such a document, this is already a reason to think about the quality of the product being offered.
3. Carefully inspect the packaging for integrity. Under no circumstances buy a product if its expiration date has passed or is running out. The lack of effect when using such a cream is the most harmless consequence.
4. Find an indication that the product is designed specifically for oily and problem skin.
5. Read the composition. Do not buy creams with unfamiliar or unclear ingredients or substances that may cause an allergic reaction. The closer to the beginning of the list an ingredient is listed, the more of it is contained in the product.

If all of the above points satisfy you, then now is the time to pay attention to the additional functions that the manufacturer has assigned to its cosmetic product.

As practice shows, budget products in this segment are not very inferior to their expensive counterparts. But if the product is offered much cheaper and the manufacturer was not known to you before, then such a product is not worth buying.

What should be included in the composition of natural ingredients?

Oily skin is not a cosmetic problem at all, as many people think. It can be inherited, or it can manifest itself during life due to the negative impact of external factors and pathologies of internal organs.

The correct composition of a cream for oily skin will provide timely and comprehensive care for the epidermis and help maintain the normal condition of the skin on the face.

The main problem in our case is the overactive functioning of the sebaceous glands, which leads to the formation of a greasy sheen, enlarged pores, and the appearance of blackheads, pimples, and comedones.

It is completely natural that we are looking for natural cosmetics - that is, made from natural ingredients. But not all of them will be equally useful for everyone without exception.

Natural components of the cream for oily skin that will be beneficial and help cope with existing problems:

1. vitamin C – improves metabolic processes, regulates (rather than suppresses) the functioning of the sebaceous glands, has an antioxidant effect, helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels;
2. fruit acids eliminate oily shine (mattify), remove dead epidermal cells, promote nutrition and hydration;
3. plant extracts of chamomile, calendula, ginseng - excellent anti-inflammatory and soothing components;
4. Sophora extract has a rejuvenating, tightening, cleansing effect.

If you find at least one of these components in the cream, then it is suitable for oily skin.

Chemical composition

Face cream is essentially a whole chemical laboratory. Elements, as in the periodic table, have their own not entirely clear and sometimes scary names. It would be better if every buyer could understand the terms that are written on the packaging of a cosmetic product. After all, some chemistry is quite dangerous and toxic.

What can you find on a jar or tube of cream for problematic and oily skin and these substances are not “poison”:

1. benzoyl peroxide - to combat rashes;
2. salicylic acid – dries, eliminates even the strongest shine;
3. caffeine - to tighten pores;
4. Niacinamide – eliminates irritation;
5. retinol and sulfur – fight acne;
6. alpha hydroxy acids in combination with essential oils have an antibacterial effect;
7. vitamin complexes - for nutrition;
8. extracts of medicinal plants - soothe and cool the skin;
9. hyaluronic acid – deep hydration without affecting the activity of the sebaceous glands.

The presence of such substances in the composition of the presented product indicates its effectiveness. But the components are highly active and can cause unpredictable reactions.

Therefore, when using for the first time, it is better to conduct a tolerance test. To do this, apply a small amount of the product to your wrist and monitor the skin reaction for 30 minutes. If there are no visual or tactile unpleasant sensations, you can use it.

Contraindications

A contraindication to the use of any cosmetic product will be individual intolerance to any component of the product. In all other aspects, you should pay attention to features of use that can lead to unpleasant consequences.

1. The label “for oily skin” was not written in vain. You need to use only specialized products that have the right composition designed to combat the problems of oily and problematic skin.
2. Age parameters. Look for a cream with the corresponding number on the box. Otherwise, the desired effect “will not happen.”
3. Storage conditions. Our “hero” is best stored in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf. Placement in a bathroom, in light (sunny or artificial), at high humidity and temperature will lead to loss of beneficial qualities long before the expiration date.
4. Tara. Any containers containing the product must be tightly closed to prevent oxidation of the product. Contact of products with air is the minimum possible amount of time. In this regard, preference is given to tubes with a narrow neck rather than jars.
5. Application of the product. Remember that any skincare cosmetics must be applied to previously cleansed skin.
6. Application rules. You cannot put pressure on your face, rub the cream intensively, or make chaotic movements - this can stretch or injure the skin. You need to apply it with your fingertips, using light movements along the massage lines.

Please pay attention! Allergic reactions are companions of all active agents. Especially nourishing cream for oily skin, enriched with vitamin complexes, or products with fruit acids or essential oils require a tolerance test!

Rating of the best according to cosmetologists and users

Cream for oily and combination skin is a special product, since it must have special qualities that are not inherent in cosmetics for other skin types. Let's say more - you should have several such creams at your disposal, since each of them performs certain functions.

To make it easier to choose a cream for oily skin, here is a list compiled in accordance with the opinions of professionals and consumers.

Moisturizing

All skin requires moisture, including problem skin. Its deficiency will lead to even more active work of the sebaceous glands and aggravation of inflammatory processes. And after them - an increase in the number of pimples, blackheads and blackheads. The best moisturizers for oily skin bring the water-salt balance back to normal and help eliminate blemishes.

1. La Roche Posay EFFACLAR H - according to reviews, the best moisturizer for oily skin, which softens, soothes, relieves flaking, is instantly absorbed and does not leave a shiny film.
2. Avene Clean AC Hydrating has a double effect. Along with moisturizing, it dries out acne, soothes irritations, and softens.

Nutritious

The best cream for oily skin with a nourishing effect will help cope with vitamin deficiencies in autumn and spring. If you see a deterioration in your appearance, a gray face and at the same time feel unnatural fatigue and exhaustion, you have vitamin deficiency (most likely). Choose a product that will provide adequate nutrition to your “hungry” epidermis.

1. GiGi Vitamin E contains not only the vitamin indicated in the name, but also some others, selected specifically for oily skin types.
2. TimeWise Mary Kay intensively nourishes, moisturizes, stimulates the production of collagen fibers, and has an anti-aging effect.

Protective

The rating of creams for oily and problem skin continues to be protected by protective products. They need to be selected according to the season, since there will be differences in the component composition in the UV filters section.

1. Estée Lauder DayWear is a protective cream for summer. It has nourishing, moisturizing and tonic qualities.
2. Natura Siberica “Sophora Japonica” is a universal protective cream that can be used at any time of the year.

Day

It is very important which cream to choose for daytime use. After all, it must meet several criteria: fight problems, not leave an oily sheen, and not spoil makeup.

1. Garnier BB Cream “The Secret of Perfection” evens out the complexion, does not require subsequent application of foundation or powder, does not clog pores, fights existing acne and prevents the appearance of new acne.
2. Noreva Exfoliac Acnomega 200 – for very oily skin with redness, pimples and blackheads. Dries, relieves inflammation, evens out color, and absorbs sebum secretion throughout the day.

Night

The night cream is designed to actively solve problems without providing an aesthetic effect, that is, it has a denser consistency and does not remove greasy marks on the skin. But it nourishes, moisturizes and fights age-related changes very well.

1. Clinique Youth Surge Night is an excellent anti-aging product, nourishing, moisturizing and toning.
2. Vichy Normaderm. Vichy does not need additional advertising, since all the products of this manufacturer are of high quality and effectiveness.

Anti-inflammatory

A good anti-inflammatory cream not only copes with inflammation, but also heals, retains moisture, protects and prevents age-related changes.

1. Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Light Cream from Vichy. And again Vishy, ​​who in this case is above all praise.
2. HyaluroMat Cream from Lirene meets all the objectives. At the same time, it perfectly mattifies the skin, regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands, eliminating excess oily sheen.

Matting

As we have already said, a cream for problematic facial skin should not only solve these very problems, but also hide their unaesthetic manifestations. Some of the best in this role are recognized as:

1. Vichy Normaderm Total Mat comes to the rescue again. Manufacturers have thought through everything to the smallest detail and their product ensures tone alignment, color improvement, and fights age-related changes;
2. Day matting cream “Baikal Herbals” is a representative of the cohort of Russian products for problematic and oily skin. Regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands, evens out the color, eliminates the sebaceous film.

You can see a review and personal opinion about creams for oily skin below:
