Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer

Updated Nov 8, 2026 · Top Moisturizers for Oily Skin

Best for Oily skin that has been over-stripped and now stings, not skin that only wants less shine.

A fragrance-free oat gel with feverfew, sold for sensitive skin. Dr. Azadeh Shirazi told HuffPost it suits people who got irritated while trying to dry their oil out. Dr. Schwarz, on Dermapedia, calls the gel an okay fit for oily skin and says it will not reduce oil production. In Vogue, Dr. Humphrey places the same gel with dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. The brand's 48-hour moisture line comes from its own small study. Use it when the barrier is angry. Use the matte Toleriane or the CeraVe oil-control gel-cream when the only problem is shine.
