Byoma is a brand that has quickly become one of our faves. And that's not only down to their budget-friendly beauties but their dedication to creating barrier-boosting and acne-friendly formulas.

Their gel cream is a moisturising cocktail boasting two hero ingredients: niacinamide and green tea — the perfect recipe for oily skin types that also crave some hydrating TLC!

With its cooling hydration and a non-comedogenic formula (bingo!), CeraVe's moisturising face lotion has added benefits that make it suitable for those who are blemish-prone.

The texture is jelly-like too so it feels lush to apply and leaves skin looking bouncy and dewy.

Although I don't necessarily want to add any more oil onto my sensitive, acne-prone face, what I do, in fact, need (as does everyone else) is hydration and moisture. And with this trusted hero, I get just that.

At a hefty £65, this is a pricer option but it's packed with ingredients that justify it. Amino acids help diminish the appearance of fine lines, while algae helps improve firmness, elasticity and tone.

It's a myth that oily skin doesn't need hydration, in fact if you strip the skin it will send your oil production into overdrive. Which is why the oil-absorbing spheres in here are vital at keeping skin not only matte but hydrated, too.

Whether you suffer with acne-prone skin, or whether you're just looking to switch to a lighter moisturiser as the seasons change, Clinique's Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly is what you need in your life.

Not only does the water-jelly consistency have an instant cooling effect on skin, but the sunflower seed, barley and cucumber extract, work with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and improve your skin barrier.

Known for their anti-inflammatory action, prebiotics help keep your complexion balanced and provide protection against external aggressors like pollution.

Each one of Farmacy's efficacious formulas are powered by plants, which means that they're free from any nasties. Plus they're sustainably packaged. So much greatness and we haven't even gotten onto the product itself.
