For oilier skin, this delivers lightweight hydration without the greasy residue, leaving skin buttery soft and plump. Reviewers praise the solid ingredients and smooth absorption, though the luxury price means watching for sales. Not many gurus have weighed in yet, so there is not much to go on so far.

"I remember you talking about oilfree nourish, uh deep tissue repair, the OG kids moisturizers that just what a gang of moisturizers that was. I mean truly my pain is that in selling to Unilever they ended up discontinuing and then reformulating you. You didn't need to touch Nourish, there was nothing wrong with it, nothing. There was nothing wrong with oil free, don't touch it."

"I love this moisturizer. Kate Somerville products like they have good ingredient list but I love this moisturizer. I used to use this one all the time. While I do love this moisturizer the price is typically not cheap but I found it for $20 at BGC which is why I had to get it. [...] This is definitely a moisturizer for more like oilier skin types if you want like a good level of moisture but you don't want your skin to look too greasy or heavy afterwards."

"The Kate Somerville Oil-Free Moisturizer is one that I've talked about on my channel before I really like it. It is on the pricey side but it is on sale for 30 off and it's a great moisturizer formula. If you are wanting to spend a little bit more on your moisturizer or try out some luxury skincare that actually has good ingredients and a good effect, definitely recommend the Kate Somerville one."
