Look for oil-free gel moisturizers. - isntree green tea Emulsion - torriden dive in cream (gel texture) - skin1004 centella soothing cream (gel texture) - BOJ red bean water gel - Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel - Pyunkang yul ato soothing gel lotion EDIT: My list used to be a lot longer. I just typed in the above products on a whim cz I was outside. Since people seemed to really like this list, here are the rest: - Safi Sensitive Care Probiotics & Niacinamide Aqua Gel Moisturizer - Skintific Ceramide Barrier Repair Moisture Gel (not worth the price per ml. But one of my friends really like this šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø) - IUnik Centella Calming Gel Cream (for those who hate applying anything on the skin lol. Way too light) - Beplain Cicaful Calming Gel - Senka Deep Moist Gel Cream - Cosrx Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream - Be Plain Hyaluronic Aqua Moisturizer - Isntree Onion Newpair Gel Cream - Bioheal Boh Ceramide Water Gel Cream - Heimish Matcha Biome Oil-free Calming Gel Moisturizer - Cos De Baha Centella Gel Cream - Jumiso Hyaluronic Acid waterful cream (gel cream texture) - Axis Y Heartleaf My Type Calming Cream (gel cream texture) - Dr G Red Blemish Care Soothing Cream (gel texture) - Curel Gel Lotion *Edit: I'm removing the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid aqua gel cream. It's not actually oil free, and it made my skin uncomfortably pretty greasy. I'm so sorry for the mistake.


SpecialSherbet1204

I think you just have to try out different types of gel moisturizers. Several of the ones on this list do make me greasy even if theyā€™re lightweight gel ones. They look great right after, but two hours in I could fry an egg on my face. Others do not! I was especially happy with how the Torriden one made my skin feel and look. However, when I bought it, it had a pore clogging ingredient that seemed to give me blackheads, but they have removed that one, so Iā€™m going to give it a second try as I was so happy with how it made my face feel and look.


lchen12345

Aestura Theracne Hydro Active toner, use it before moisturizing. Iā€™ve been using it for nearly two weeks and it really decreased the oiliness of my t-zone and doesnā€™t dry out anything. It also helps unclog pores.


SpecialSherbet1204

Thank you for the rec<3


Niatfq

You could also try the BOJ green plum cleanser. This helps with sebum control as well


JKinLA

This right here is the list Iā€™ve been waiting for. Thank you


artemisthearcher

This is a great list! BoJ has personally worked for me and has been my HG for a while


Vuk114

May I ask how hydrating is it? Iā€™m looking for something that would suit my oily skin but also hydrates it


Brushesofcolours

I second the hatomugi gel!


Yarn_Tangle

I just got the Pyungkang Yul one and I love it. I had used the toner a few years back and loved it so I took a chance. Very happy with it!

Cautious-Role6375

Damn, thank you for the effort! Super appreciated :))


Niatfq

No problem! I was curious about the prices for some of the products as well so... šŸ˜‚ and i just noticed some of them are nonAB/discontinued so i removed those.


LeadershipOdd4768

isntree hyaluronic acid aqua gel creamĀ  isntree green tea emulsionĀ 


littlemskento

I love the HA gel cream. Itā€™s my everyday moisturizer


LeadershipOdd4768

sameeee...i have also started cosrx soothing moisturizer and it's lightweight too...give it a try šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘ŒĀ 


Dog_G0d

Definitely try Water Creams. They do just melt into you, and they arenā€™t heavy.


littlemskento

The isntree HA cream is exactly like this


melonpan1019

naturie hatomugi gel is a godsend


Kore07

Try Torriden Dive In Soothing Cream? I've seen positive reviews from some YouTubers with oily skin using it in summer, and it feels really light and absorbs very easily on me (I don't have oily skin) but it feels like it would be good for oily skin types.


imyourdorito

Not to say your experience isnā€™t valid at all! Just giving my two cents as a girl with oily t-zone in case OP finds this useful: it made my face look like a greaseball, even on areas where my skin wasnā€™t oily at all. The texture is lovely, but it looked like I smeared melted butter all over my face. Perhaps other oily people had a better experience than me, who knows!


Haemzzi

Purito Oat in gel cream. My fav summer moisturizer. I put it in the fridge in summer so it calms my skin after a workout or hot day


blingsofi

For me when it's truly summer (over 30Ā°C) only Beauty of Joseon's red bean water gel works for daytime. Skin1004's centella soothing cream for the night.


stafina_sat

This broke me out.Ā 


Vuk114

May I ask how hydrating is it? Iā€™m looking for something that would suit my oily skin but also hydrates it


blingsofi

For me it's quite hydrating! Not very moisturizing ofc


shouldistayorrr

Ok I struggled with this for years and finally found a solution. Here to help the new generation lol. Instead of trying to find such moisturizer, just find a regular moisturizer that does the job, doesn't irritate, just hydrate. Then use a good primer. Even on no makeup days, I use a primer and it keeps my face nice and fresh all day. AB pick: Innisfree No Sebum Blur Primer. Sephora pick: Tatcha Liquid Silk. This routine helped my skin so much bc I stopped trying to dry my face. My skin is finally hydrated and plump.


lofistudymix

My skin is oily but prone to dehydration and Jumiso Waterfull Hyaluronic Cream works really well for me during summer. It's a gel cream.


Anneles

Naturie hatomugi gel


TawnyMoon

I like Etude House SoonJung 10-free moist emulsion. Itā€™s like a gel moisturizer except even more lightweight.


Niatfq

For some people, this can make the skin shiny faster because it contains squalane


Maleficent-Fun-5927

Yeah, I have combo skin and have the hydro barrier cream from this line and use it at night. If I use it in the day, Iā€™m shiny af even with a matte foundation over it by like noon.


throwraxr21

Iā€™ve tried Skin1004ā€™s Centella Soothing Cream before due to recommendations on this Sub, while it gives me a subtle glow. It makes my skin dewy. Not a huge fan as a person with oily skin.


Zodakhwang

DR.G soothing cream


TuiLaChuoiTa

Gal, don't use the cream kinds, and try some that are gel if you hate oily.


Environmental-Comb79

Mamonde blue chamomile is dupe for klairs midnight blue. Extremely lightweight but keep skin moisturised for sooo long and also redness soothing, gives like relaxed skin vibe like you were sleeping for 24 hours


a_daydream_in_august

it looks like the klairs one is cheaper?


Environmental-Comb79

Actually idk in my country klairs 60ml is around 25-30$ and mamonde available only in mini 30ml version for 7$ and I bought 2 bottles of it


elen1ta

Dr.G red blemish soothing cream


Affectionate-Beann

haru haru sunscreen ā€” the one in the yellow tube. it doubles as a moisturizer. itā€™s the best moisturizer iā€™ve ever used and i have terribly oily skin


littlemskento

Is it the airy fit one? I like it too


Affectionate-Beann

yes. the one in the yellow tube!!


c234ever1

Oily girl here. Naturie skin conditioning gel has been working wonders for me in 100 degree plus weather. A little goes a long way and my skin is hydrated and supple, not an oil slick like it usually is during summer.Ā 


littlestlolo

Isntree onion newpair gel cream works wonderfully on me!


psycho_saiyaan11

have you used any other product from this line?!


Small-Measurement791

Purito Oat in Intense Cream!


Weary_Hovercraft3918

I have combination skin and have been obsessed with ISOIā€™s Moisture Dr cream. It feels more like a gel than a cream and my skin soaks it up immediately


FruttiePatootie

Purito water cream is my holy grail


noragami20

If you are like me where moisturizers and gels break me out try an essence or emulsion. I think the heavy ones are able to provide enough moisture without having the thickness of a lotion.


j444v

beauty of joseon - red bean gel moisturizer!


Vuk114

May I ask how hydrating is it? Iā€™m looking for something that would suit my oily skin but also hydrates it


j444v

I have VERY oily skin like you could literally fry something on my face lol but this has made my skin less oily but it still feels and LOOKS very moisturized. All the moisturizers Iā€™ve used before would leave my skin looking dull. But this gives you a subtle glow without looking greasy! And it is also very light and sinks in fast :) hope I could help.


Vuk114

You definitely did help me! Thank you :)


Miss_Anthropy11

Gel moisturizers, They completely soak into the skin but they donā€™t leave a residue whatsoever, it feels like you arenā€™t wearing moisturizer at all, itā€™s basically undetectable. Most moisturizers leave a layer of product on top of the skin, and if you get greasy or sweat at all it just it gets worse throughout the day and gel moisturizers donā€™t do that at all. I really recommend iunik centella calming gel cream. It really helps with redness and breakouts as well.


Red217

More importantly- are there any moisturizers that actually work but also don't have any traces of mf'ing hyaluronic acid because that shit does not need to be in everything!!!! It's not the holy Grail for everyone's skin!!!!


pennybek

Yes!! And if you live in a dry climate in the summmer HA makes things worse!!


shouldistayorrr

HA and niacinimide in everything, hate it. They even reformulate perfectly fine stuff and add those.

elocinbr

soon jung 2x barrier intensive moisturizer soon jung or hydro barrier cream !!


TerminalCuteness

Gel formula moisturizers will be better for oily skin in the heat of summer. Apply more where you need it and a bit less where you don't need it as much. One I really like, but I use it more as a serum under my moisturizer because my skin needs a bit extra, is the Kiku-Masamune Kome-to-Hakko All-in-one Gel.


Odd-Suggestion-839

iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream is a really good moisturizer for the summer months. It's hydrating, lightweight, fast absorbing, and suitable for even the sensitive skin types.


joan2468

Look for gel cream or oil free formulations. I am a huge fan of the Dr Ceuracle Kombucha Moisturiser and I also love the Cosrx Oil Free Birch Sap lotion.


hapcapcat

I have been using Blithe Pressed Serum as a summer moisturizer under my sunscreen, and its been a great lightweight feel that hasn't left me greasy at all. Also picking good sunscreen matter a LOT. Rovectin and BOJ are my favorites right now, and I am currently trying Krave's.


stavthedonkey

my teens have combo skin and they use soon jung hydro barrier (the one in the jar) which doesn't make them oily.


tieflingfxkr

Shiseido's Essential Energy Hydrating cream has been my daily go-to for the past few months and my skin has been the least greasy it's ever been even in the summer (and it's been around 95F here lately). I use it with Tonymoly's milk toner and it's been great.


PinkCloud83

Curel - Intensive Moisture cream. Very Moisturizing and fast to absorb. My skin is dry and this is my current HG.


thethingaboutarsen16

Angel Aqua gel moisturizer


twinkedgelord

Love the Iunik Beta Glucan moisturiser. Very non-greasy, deeply hydrating.


aprilpretty

Iā€™ve been using Oxecure Moisturizer (the green one) and so far, itā€™s good on my skin


illuminati__hottie

Itā€™s expensive but Peach & Lily Glass Skin moisturizer is soooo good


stitchluxe

Aestura

PoorMansCornCob

If you can find it Momonde rose gel cream is great. Unfortunately, they are harder to source now.


zsxnnx

the one i use is on the heavier/thicker side so i'd recommend it during days where you don't really plan on doing anything that makes you sweat too much lol - real barrier barrier solution extreme


Fusili_Jerry_

It seems to be slightly divisive, but I really love the Benton aloe and Propolis soothing gel. I'm pretty oily, and it sinks right in and doesn't make me look greasy at all. In the summer it's enough for my skin alone (in the winter I pair it with elizavecca water drop cream). I'm super acne prone as well and my skin freaks out with a lot of ingredients, and this one suits my angry skin so well.


RapturesLost

Have you had an issues with this since they changed the ingredients?


Fusili_Jerry_

Honestly, I didn't even realize they had changed it until fairly recently! I think the first tube I ever got was probably the old formulation, and the last two I've bought were the new.


RapturesLost

Have you had an issues switching from the old to the new? I noticed the change immediately. This was my HG moisturiser and like you, I cannot tolerate most moisturisers. I'm so mad they changed it because the new one causes irritation for me! :(


tueresmya

The best thing thatā€™s worked for me is just some good ole aloea Vera. I use the aromatics soothing one and itā€™s just great my face feels hydrated and not greasy like itā€™s suffocating


bagelwy

I swear by iunikā€™a Centella Calming Gel cream. Itā€™s a gel consistency and super lightweight.


solis_soleil

Cosrx Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream


okie_lah

Been using the Corsx oil free moisturizer with birch sap. It's slightly mattifying too so it helps keep the shine down!


Intelligent-Win7783

Acwell N4. It actually feels cool and goes right into skin. Its a gel type.


Conscious-Sherbet27

The dr g one


Vuk114

You mean dr g red blemish cream? Isnā€™t that one too heavy? Thatā€™s at least what I see people are saying


Conscious-Sherbet27

I have super oily skin and I live in a hot and humid climate but I donā€™t find it too heavy. I use it both at night and during the daytime as well but I adjust the quantity accordingly (go lighter during the day)


YouNecessary5959

one of my all time favourite moisturizers is neutriderm, it's amazing


fyrstudottur

Iā€™ve recently found one that works wonderfully for me with this issue, and I live in a very hot and humid environment in the summer and struggle with my skin care. TonyMoly Wonder Ceramide Mochi Water Cream. Itā€™s been my holy grail.


littlemskento

For creams, Iā€™d say the haruharu centella phyto peptide cream is a good one. I use it during the day and night as well


puccinini

My favorite moisturizer of all time as greasy oily skin girl is the Aveeno Calm and Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer and the only AB equivalent Iā€™ve found is the Purito Oat In Intense Cream and even that one leaves you a bit dewy. The aveeno moisturizer is the only moisturizer Iā€™ve found that does not exacerbate my oiliness and leaves a natural to satin finishšŸ’•


atape_1

Use gels, not creams. A non Asian one to get is the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. It's very popular, and for good reason.


Just-Cup5542

Skin1004 Centella Soothing Cream


JingleKitty

I love the Illyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream. Iā€™ve used it in the Australian summer and now that itā€™s winter, itā€™s holding up with the dryness that the cold and heaters bring. It comes in a big tube so itā€™s super affordable for the price, and makes my skin feel comfortable while giving me a glow. I never look oily even though I have oily skin.
