Best Moisturisers For Combination Skin
Cipla Excela Moisturiser
A recommendation made by the writer's dermatologist, the Cipla Excela Moisturiser is a great moisturiser for combination to oily skin that's also acne prone. It is non-comedogenic so it won't bother sensitive skin and has niacinamide to help with the excess sebum. While it claims to leave the skin mattified, we didn't experience it with the formula since its quite moisturising without feeling goopy.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel


The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel has been an OG moisturiser for combination skin since it has a gel formula which not only feels light on the skin but also provides enough hydration for the dry areas to feel catered to. There is hyaluronic acid, natural moisturising factors, amino acid and electrolytes present in the formula to plump your skin and make it feel healthy with regular use.

Plum Think Derma 2% Niacinamide & Rice Water Clear Moisture Gel Cream


We picked this one up from Anshula Kapoor's skincare dump. It's a water-based gel moisturiser that has a powerhouse of ingredients like niacinamide for brightening, rice water for smoothing texture, matmarine to regulate sebum production, and cactus water to strengthen the skin's barrier. It's specifically meant for oily, blemish prone skin but since it has rice water, it will work well on combination skin's dry patches too!

Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel


Another gel moisturised recommended by dermats, Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel is ideal for helping curb excess sebum without damaging or drying out the skin. It helps to restore the skin's pH while simultaneously moisturising the skin with hyaluron and aloe vera. The formula also has allantoin and panthenol to help soothe the skin.
Ponds Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturizer


Ponds Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturizer is a reasonably priced moisturiser for combination skin with a light, gel-based formula that absorbs super quickly into the skin. It has vitamin E and hyaluronic to keep the skin hydrated and works fairly well on the oily areas too as it isn't heavy and doesn't clog pores.

It is formulated with five types of hyaluronic acid which boots in refreshing, cooling, and soothing irritated skin.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream


A little hefty on the pocket but definitely a moisturiser you won't be able to put down once you use, the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream is formulated with intensely hydrating glacial glycoprotein that keeps the skin feeling moisturised. So much so, you might be able to fool people that you drinking five litres of water, get eight hours of quality sleep and eat your greens. And, has oil-reducing amino acids that controls excess oil production to give you a fresh, grease-free look.

The Derma Co 5% Nia-Ceramide Daily Hydrating Moisturizer


The Derma Co 5% Nia-Ceramide Daily Hydrating Moisturizer is the brand's newest addition to their army of moisturisers. It's formulated keeping combination skin in mind. It has niacinamide to help the oily area chill a bit by helping the excess sebum and evening out the textured skin that accompanies combination skin while the ceramides on the other hand go all out with hydration and soothing.
