A: Sorry to disagree, but this does not provide a matte finish on me but exactly the opposite. It makes me look like I just applied oil to my face.

A: Does not provide matte finish. This product is very oily

Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer with SPF 30
Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer with SPF 30 is a great everyday moisturizer, especially for oily or combination skin. It feels lightweight, absorbs nicely, and helps keep my skin from looking overly shiny throughout the day. I love that it moisturizes while also providing SPF 30 sun protection, so it makes my morning routine easier. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on my skin and works well under makeup. A convenient daily moisturizer and sunscreen in one!

it's not worth the SPF eye burn tbh
this does a fairly OK job at controlling my very oily skin, but the way this lotion somehow ALWAYS manages to migrate into my eyes and burns so bad needs to be studied. i use a completely different lotion around my eyes especially since this one has SPF in it, but holy cow after about 4-5 hours my eyemake up is ruined because even though i wasnt touching my face or rubbing my eyes, the SPF manages to still find my eyeballs every time and my gosh it's awful.

Moisturizer with SPF
This has been part of my skincare routine for 3 years now. Lightweight, gentle, absorbs quickly AND has sunscreen. My husband and I put this one every single day. My husband is very prone to cystic pimples and would always easily breakout with mosh moisturizers and sunscreen… this has changed everything for him. We love that it doesn’t feel greasy or oily on our skin.

Oil control!
This is my favorite daily moisturizer! I have combination skin that gets more oily with products, and this has been one of the only moisturizers I’ve tried that doesn’t make me feel like I’m going to sweat it off. It feels smooth and lightweight, and is a great base layer with spf. I haven’t had any skin irritation with using this either. This is a product I will absolutely continue to buy!

Ideal for the hot months
I've been using this for weeks as the final step in my day routine, and it's become one of my favorites for oily/combination skin. Protection: It has broad-spectrum SPF 30 (protects against UVA and UVB), so it does double duty, hydrating, and sun protection in one step, which is great for not skipping sunscreen out of laziness. It controls shine really well. It has technology that absorbs excess oil and leaves a matte finish that lasts most of the day, without looking "gray" or unnatural like some other sunscreens can. It feels lightweight on application and absorbs quickly, without leaving a sticky residue or white cast. Within a couple of minutes, you can layer makeup on top with no issue. It comes in a pump bottle, easy to dispense (you don't waste product or spill it), and practical for travel. The matte finish held for several hours before needing a touch-up, though in very humid weather, I noticed I had to reapply by the afternoon. Since it's unscented, it's a great option if you have sensitive skin or just don't like skincare products with a strong smell.

Very good
This moisturizer has quickly become part of my daily routine. The texture is lightweight and non-greasy, so it absorbs fast without leaving any residue. Application is smooth and effortless, and it layers well under makeup. My skin feels balanced and hydrated all day, with no breakouts or irritation, even though my skin can be sensitive. The SPF 30 is an added bonus, so I get sun protection without needing an extra step. Overall, it's gentle, effective, and easy to fit into any skincare routine.

Love it
As someone with dry skin, this absolutely helps my skin and it has sunscreen in it. It helps get rid of my irritation and the texture of it is light. It doesnt have a harsh scent.

Not for the oily skin 🙁
This moisturizer did not work well with my skin unfortunately. I have oily skin and this did not control the oil on my skin at all. After a few hours my face was shiny and oily. On top of that if I sweat it would run through my skin and my eyes would be itchy. Packaging is handy and small so it fits very nicely in one hand but wouldn’t advice to buy if you have oily skin

Good for sensitive skin
This product keeps my oily skin hydrated without feeling greasy, absorbs quickly, and leaves my face soft with a nice layer on. It also works great under makeup.

Finally an oil control moisturizer that actually keeps me matte
I am always skeptical when a face lotion claims to balance oil production while providing sun protection, but this Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30 completely exceeded my expectations. I have been using it every morning as the final step in my skincare routine, and the shine reduction is real. The first thing I noticed was the lightweight, fluid texture. It absorbs into the skin almost instantly and leaves a completely matte, non greasy finish, which is a massive win for anyone dealing with an oily t zone. It is completely unscented and does not clog my pores or trigger breakouts, making it perfect for acne prone skin. It provides a solid base for daily wear and sits beautifully under makeup without causing any sliding, rolling, or pilling throughout the day. It delivers the ideal amount of hydration so my skin never feels stripped, while simultaneously keeping excess sebum under control for hours. If you struggle to find a daily sunscreen that does not turn your face into an oily mess by midday, this formula is absolutely worth buying.

No more pimples from sunscreen
Very helpful spf that does not leave you extra oily and full of pimples. Rubs into skin flawlessly, with dry hydrating features. Would love if it has a good smell to it!

Almost a win but
Despite having dry skin, I actually really like the texture of this moisturizer! It's surprisingly glowy (to the point where if you have very oily skin, I mignt skip it). Also, this leaves no white cast. However, I'll not be buying this again since it burns my eyes. Not sure what chemical filters I'm not agreeing wifh, but I am NOT agreeing with them. It's a shame - I really like this product otherwise, so if you're mot sensitive to chemical filters and like a glowy look, give it a go!

Great all in one
Feels great on skin, leaves a thin layer of a powder like substance to absorb oil. Absorbs immediately and has lotion-like consistency. Comes with SPF in it as well.
