Minimalist Face Moisturizer for Oily Skin, 1.7 oz — 0.3% Ceramides & Madecassoside, Lightweight Barrier Repair

Minimalist Face Moisturizer is a lightweight, oil-free cream formulated to restore the skin barrier and hydrate oily or combination skin with 0.3% ceramides, madecassoside and ursolic acid.

This moisturizer blends a targeted ceramide complex with soothing botanically derived actives to support barrier repair without leaving a greasy finish. Designed for daily AM and PM use, the formula uses a clinically inspired 3:1:1 ceramide:cholesterol:fatty acid ratio, includes aquaporin-boosting ingredients for hydration, and omits fragrances, silicones, parabens and dyes to reduce irritation risk.

How does this cream help rebuild a damaged skin barrier?

The product delivers a 0.3% concentration of five essential ceramides arranged with cholesterol and fatty acids at the 3:1:1 ratio shown to speed barrier recovery. Ursolic acid further supports structural repair while the lipid balance helps restore moisture retention and reduce transepidermal water loss.

• 0.3% total ceramide complex with five ceramide types
• Ceramide:Cholesterol:Fatty Acid at 3:1:1 for optimal barrier support
• Ursolic acid to reinforce skin structure
• Formulated at pH 5.0–6.0 to match skin’s natural acidity

Will this moisturizer feel heavy on oily or combination skin?

The texture is specifically oil-free and noncomedogenic, designed to absorb quickly and leave a matte, comfortable finish. It hydrates through aquaporin-enhancing ingredients and GABA derivatives rather than occlusive oils, so skin feels supple without excess shine.

• Lightweight, fast-absorbing consistency
• Noncomedogenic and oil-free to avoid clogged pores
• GABA and aquaporin boosters for long-lasting hydration
• Suitable for both AM and PM routines under sunscreen or serums

What soothing ingredients are included for sensitive or reactive skin?

Madecassoside, a concentrated extract from Centella asiatica, is included to calm and soothe stressed skin. The formulation avoids common irritants—no fragrance, essential oils, sulfates, parabens, silicones or dyes—reducing the chance of irritation while delivering targeted actives.

• Madecassoside for calming and reducing visible sensitivity
• Fragrance-, dye- and essential oil-free formulation
• Hypoallergenic and silicone-free to minimize reactions
• Balanced pH to support natural skin flora

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Apply after cleansing, toning and any serums while skin is slightly damp to lock in moisture. Use a pea-to-pearl-sized amount and massage until fully absorbed; it performs well under sunscreen in the morning and under richer treatments at night if extra hydration is needed.

• Use AM and PM after serums and toners
• Press gently into face until no residue remains
• Works under sunscreen and makeup in daytime routines
• Pair with targeted serums for acne-prone or hyperpigmented skin

Who is this for: This Minimalist moisturizer is tailored for women and men with oily or combination skin who want clinically minded barrier support without heavy oils or sensitizing extras. It suits those seeking fragrance-free, noncomedogenic hydration and anyone rebuilding a compromised barrier while keeping a matte, non-greasy complexion.
