What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this moisturizer for its lightweight gel texture, effective oil control, and mattifying properties without feeling heavy on skin. It's repeatedly recommended for oily and combination skin, especially in summer or under sunscreen, and valued for layering under other products. The formula's ceramides, niacinamide, and mineral content earn recognition for barrier support and sebum regulation. One reviewer notes it's affordable and suitable for sensitive skin when fragrance-free.

"The double repair moisturizer in the blue bottle is a gel cream formula, more suitable for normal to oily skin, but definitely if you have dry combination skin, I still really like using this in the summertime in my morning routine, especially when it's super hot and humid outside. I want something that also offers a little bit of a mattifying property and layers nicely under sunscreen. It provides really great hydration without really feeling like there's much on your skin. It helps to keep your skin barrier protected and supported, and it has a really nice and elegant texture. If you have oily skin, the properties of this moisturizer really keeps you from looking shiny like midday. Ingredient wise, it's got ceramides and niacinamide."

It provides really great hydration without really feeling like there's much on your skin. It helps to keep your skin barrier protected and supported, and it has a really nice and elegant texture. If you have oily skin, the properties of this moisturizer really keeps you from looking shiny like midday. Ingredient wise, it's got ceramides and niacinamide that helps to support your skin barrier. Niacinamide also offers some sebum control which is really nice especially for oily skin. It also has perlite which is a volcanic mineral that helps absorb excessive oil and then silica too provides that mattifying property. And then of course La Roche-Posay thermal spring water that is really mineral rich and helps to balance our skin microbiome. It's suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin, because I believe this is fragrance-free."

"I like niacinamide in my products like the La Roche-Posay Toleriane matte moisturizer. It's great for skin brightening to some degree, but it's not your main player. It's not going to replace vitamin C. It's not going to replace a prescription retinoid for decreasing dark spots. It can be effective in repairing your skin barrier and reducing sebum production in small amounts when it's mixed into your product."

"The other one that you can consider with niacinamide that's good for oily skin would be La Roche-Posay's Toleriane Matte Moisturizer. That one's a gel, very similar in texture to Cetaphil Oil Control Gel Cream."
Game-Changing Moisturizers with Niacinamide Revealed
"La Roche-Posay's Toleriane Matte Moisturizer is a gel moisturizer that's very lightweight and affordable. It has ceramide and niacinamide that help regulate sebum production. It's not comedogenic and very gentle for patients using acne medications. It melts into your skin very quickly with just a few swipes. I've been using it for the last 5 years, especially in the summertime. With my combination skin, my skin tends to get more oily in the summer, so I'll switch from a moisturizing cream to a gel cream or lotion, and I've been using the matte moisturizer as my primary moisturizer in the summertime."

"If you don't want a dedicated acne moisturizer and you lean a little bit more oily and you want something a little more gel moisturizer for acne, I'm a huge fan of the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Matte Moisturizer. This is a great product, a gel moisturizer that's really quite effective for people with oily skin. If you have oily skin and you don't want to moisturize, this is the product that's going to actually make you less greasy. You feel like you actually took a moisturizer off your face because of its oil control and its lightweight nature. It's outstanding."
