Kate Somerville Oil-Free Moisturizer 1.7 fl oz — Lightweight Hydration, Matte Finish

Kate Somerville Oil Free Moisturizer is a lightweight, fragrance-free daily cream designed to hydrate oily, combination, and acne-prone skin without leaving any greasy residue.

This clinically formulated moisturizer absorbs quickly to smooth and soften skin while supporting a balanced, non-shiny finish. Developed in a professional clinic and reworked for at-home use, the formula focuses on delivering hydration and visible texture improvement using amino-acid derivatives, red marine algae, and algae-based tightening actives. It's free of fragrance, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, SLES and SLS, so it layers easily with serums and treatments in your morning and evening routine.

How does this oil-free moisturizer control shine without drying skin?

The formula uses lightweight humectants and algae-derived actives that attract and hold moisture without adding surface oil. Instead of heavy emollients that sit on top of the skin, it relies on fast-absorbing ingredients that help skin feel supple and look matte. This keeps pores from feeling clogged while helping skin retain the moisture it needs.

• Fast-absorbing, non-greasy base for a matte finish
• Humectants hydrate without heavy oils
• Algae-based tighteners help refine texture
• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation for reactive skin

Can I use this moisturizer with acne treatments and serums?

Yes—apply it after any water-based serums, gels, or targeted acne treatments to seal in active ingredients. Because it’s lightweight and non-comedogenic in design, it won’t interfere with topical actives and supports layering in both AM and PM routines. Use a thin, even layer for best results.

• Apply after cleansing and serums, morning and night
• Compatible with gels and prescription topicals
• Helps maintain hydration while protecting treatment efficacy

What key ingredients support healthier-looking oily or combination skin?

Targeted amino-acid derivatives help skin maintain resilience while red marine algae and algae-based tightening agents improve surface texture. These components work together to hydrate, firm, and reduce the look of fine lines without the weight of traditional creams. The result is skin that appears smoother and more refined.

• Essential amino-acid derivatives to support skin strength
• Red marine algae for skin-smoothing benefits
• Algae-based tightening agents for improved texture
• Formulated without mineral oil, parabens, or fragrances

How should I incorporate it into my daily skincare routine?

After cleansing, apply any toners or serums first, then smooth a thin, even layer of this oil-free moisturizer over face and neck. Use it twice daily—morning and night—to maintain balanced hydration. Its quick absorption makes it an ideal base under sunscreen or makeup.

• Use after serums and treatments, twice daily
• Apply a thin layer to face and neck for even coverage
• Absorbs quickly—suitable under SPF and foundation

Who is this for: This moisturizer is aimed at people with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin looking for effective daily hydration without shine. It’s also suited to anyone who prefers fragrance-free formulations and wants a fast-absorbing cream that layers well with treatment products. Ideal for those seeking clinically inspired skin care developed in a professional setting but formulated for everyday use at home.
