Nobody wants shiny, greasy skin. It looks sloppy, the oil gets all over your phone and can lead to breakouts. According to aesthetician Hillery Sklar, your body's heat can actually cause the gunk in your pores to liquefy, leading to a greasier appearance. The common mistake people with oily skin make is skipping the moisturizer. But the right one will help keep oil production in check. Thankfully, there are products that are formulated for men that are engineered to maintain a matte mug and calm overactive sebaceous glands.
Oil Eliminator

This ultra-light cooling gel is formulated with Aerolite, a porous ingredient used by NASA which absorbs more than four times its weight in oil. Kiehl's uses it to disperse grease, gunk and sweat away from your skin.
Skin Transformer by Miracle Skin Transformer
If you want a one-step, all encompassing moisturizer, this is it. The hydrating SPF 20 lotion smoothes on easily, absorbing oil to keep your face free of shine. Plus, it's not thick or sticky, which is rare for any sunscreen.

This citrus-scented cream instantly sops up oil on contact. It absorbs quickly and leaves your face with a naturally matte finish for most of the day. But it's not overly hydrating, so you may need to reapply.
