What the gurus are saying

This ultra-lightweight, clear gel slides on instantly without a trace of shine or greasiness, making it beloved by people with oily skin. Centella asiatica and tea tree work together to calm redness and control excess oiliness. Reviewers consistently repurchase it. Those with highly reactive skin may want to patch-test first, as temporary redness can show up after application, though it passes quickly.

"I would definitely recommend Korean moisturizers, they really know how to create formulas that are well oriented for more oily skin. I definitely always recommend the IUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream. That one has great antioxidant-rich ingredients as well as soothing agents in a super lightweight moisturizer that is the most lightweight formula I've ever used in my life."
Top Pick: lightweight moisturizer

Every Product I’ve Emptied in 2026 (and What I’d Rebuy 👀)
"It's the iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream. This has been a staple on my channel for years. I love this moisturizer, but I've gone through three bottles of this recently where I've noticed that every single time I use it, my skin just gets a little bit red and flushed and irritated for a good 10 minutes after I apply it. One of the reasons I love this moisturizer is that it has so many soothing ingredients. It really is the most lightweight moisturizer I've ever used in my life. If you're someone who has oily skin, I highly recommend this. I don't think it's a formulation issue because the formula looks exactly the same. I think it's just a personal issue with my skin evolving."
My Most Repurchased Korean Skin Care Products 🧴
"iUNIK has killed it with their Centella Calming Gel Cream. This one I've recommended on my channel so many years, and I have lost count of how many times I've repurchased this one. It is such a lovely gel cream consistency that honestly isn't even a gel cream. It's just like a gel. Super lightweight and amazing for anyone who lives in a humid environment or has really oily skin and you just feel like every single product you use is making your skin look super shiny and greasy. Not only that, it has ingredients like Centella Asiatica, tea tree, all of which are great to help reduce redness and irritation in case you are someone who has more sensitive or redness prone skin, which I really appreciate because I feel like a lot of products out there that are targeted towards people who have redness prone skin tend to be very heavy and greasy, but this one could not be further from that. Ultra lightweight and definitely amazing if you're someone out there who has consistently oily skin like I do."
The BEST Korean Skin Care of 2023
"The iUnik Centella Calming Gel Cream is such a lightweight formula and a great price. The amount of centella in it is incredible as well as other soothing ingredients that are great if you're struggling with sensitivity. It kind of has like a cooling sensation to it which is nice, feels similar to like an aloe vera product but it won't result in greasiness or heaviness throughout the day. It's just such a stellar product, awesome moisturizer that I will always recommend to anyone who has oily skin or sensitive skin."

"If you're someone who wants an ultra lightweight moisturizing experience with a power packed ingredient list that works to reduce excess oiliness control redness and sensitivity repair the moisture barrier all without looking greasy or shiny this is definitely a good formula to go with. It's so beautiful."
The BEST Moisturizers of 2023
"This moisturizer is $16 from the amazing Korean skincare brand iUNIK and has an ultra lightweight gel consistency that works for people who have really oily skin or even sensitive skin because of the incredible ingredients. This formula has 72% centella asiatica leaf water, centella asiatica being one of the best ingredients for reducing redness and sensitivity. It also features 10% tea tree leaf water which is why it's a great option for anyone who has oily skin because tea tree does a good job of reducing excess oiliness, in combination with the niacinamide in the formula, of course the miracle ingredient that really should be in every formula out there. It also has green tea extract so you're not just getting the leaf water, you're actually getting the pure extract to get those incredible soothing and damage repairing benefits. The only thing is that this formula does include bergamot oil, but I've used this product so many times and when it comes to essential oils I always do the sniff test where you can really judge how much of an essential oil is being used in a formula and I really can't smell it in this, so I personally don't have an issue with that. I forgot how good this formula is."

Top 10 Moisturizers For Acne Prone Skin That Won't Clog Pores
"This is the iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream and the thing about this is that it's got that centella. This Centella Calming Gel Cream is fantastic especially if you have redness in the skin. You see how this one is like a complete gel, it's completely clear when you dispense it and it's probably one of the most lightweight options. It's great for acne prone skin but it is still hydrating and again because it has the centella, which is also known as Gotu Kola, that actually helps with a little bit of redness and hydration."

"This has been on the bestsellers list literally every year for the past three years. It's good, it gives results. If you have super oily and acne prone skin and you want a beautiful lightweight gel moisturizer, this is it. You've got that centella, you've got some tea tree in here. It's going to minimize blemishes, it's going to hydrate the skin, super lightweight. It goes on like a gel and it just glides on instantly, calming and soothing, fights those breakouts and hydrates you. It ticks a lot of boxes if like me you have super oily and acne prone skin. Great for the summer months. I love it. The one drawback is it has got a slight fragrance to it which I'm not a big fan of, but that's up to you. I have it on hand for when I need that cooling, when I need that hydration in summer. That honestly is one of my go-tos."
