Elave Oil-Free Skin Balancing Moisturiser

Comforting oil-free moisture for sensitive, acne-prone skin / 1.7 oz

Elave’s Oil-Free Skin Balancing Moisturiser has a short ingredient list (a great sign that it’ll be super-mild and gentle to skin, as its clinical test results prove), but it manages to pack a combination of clever pH-balancers and acne-fighters into the formula that make for one of our favorite picks for acne prone skin.

We were delighted to come across this soothing, lightweight lotion for balanced to oily skin, since most products designed for super-sensitive skin also happen to be designed for dry skin. But this sheer cream, suitable even for those with eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis, sinks in quickly with a matte finish. This Irish brand somehow seemed to know just what we were looking for: at last, those of us with super sensitive skin have a lightweight, fragrance-free, oil-free moisturizer that goes above and beyond simple hydration.

Pro tip: We recommend cleansing first with Elave’s Skin Balancing Cleansing Gel, a manuka honey-spiked cleanser that’s excellent for acne.
