ELTESSA Oil-Free Moisturizer — Matte

Description

Here is the cruel joke of oily skin: skip moisturizer — as almost everyone with oily skin does — and your skin reads the dryness as an emergency and pumps out more oil. The shine you're fighting is partly a shortage you created. Oil and hydration are different things, and you can be oily and dehydrated at the same time. Most people in Pakistan's climate are.

The ELTESSA Oil-Free Moisturizer ends the standoff. A rush of weightless, oil-free hydration that absorbs in seconds and disappears into a clean soft-matte finish — no grease, no stickiness, no shine two hours later. Just calm, comfortable, properly hydrated skin that finally stops over-producing.

Who it suits

Oily, combination and breakout-prone skin — it's non-comedogenic and won't clog pores. Absolutely essential for anyone using salicylic acid, glycolic acid or retinol, all of which take moisture out that must be put back. And in a Karachi June, frankly, everyone.

How to use it

Morning and evening, as the closing step of your routine — after serums, before sunscreen by day. It layers cleanly under makeup with no pilling.

What to expect

Comfortable, shine-free hydration from day one. And within a few weeks, the quiet surprise: often less oil overall, as your skin stops compensating for a drought that's over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this moisturizer good for oily skin?

It was built for it. The formula is oil-free and weightless — it absorbs in seconds and disappears into a clean soft-matte finish, with no grease, no stickiness, and no shine two hours later. Oily, combination and breakout-prone skin are exactly who it's for.

My skin is already oily — do I really need a moisturizer?

Here's the cruel joke of oily skin: skip moisturizer, and your skin reads the dryness as an emergency and pumps out more oil. The shine you're fighting is partly a shortage you created. Oil and hydration are different things — you can be oily and dehydrated at the same time, and in Pakistan's climate most people are.

Will it clog pores or cause pimples?

It's non-comedogenic and won't clog pores, which is why it suits breakout-prone skin. That said, it hydrates — it isn't an acne treatment or a medicine. If you're dealing with a diagnosed skin condition, ask your doctor.

Can I use it with salicylic acid, glycolic acid or retinol?

You should — it's absolutely essential alongside them. All three of those actives take moisture out of the skin that must be put back, and this is the step that puts it back without adding oil. Apply it after your actives as the closing step.

Does it feel sticky or leave a shine?

No. It absorbs in seconds into a soft-matte finish — no grease, no stickiness, no shine two hours later. If you've avoided moisturizer because everything felt like a film in the heat, this was made for you.

Can I wear it under makeup and sunscreen?

Yes. It layers cleanly under makeup with no pilling. By day, apply it after your serums and before your sunscreen — that order matters, and the sunscreen step is not optional if you use actives.

When will I see results?

Comfortable, shine-free hydration from day one. Then, within a few weeks, the quiet surprise: often less oil overall, as your skin stops over-producing to compensate for a drought that's over. We say "often" because skin varies — no honest brand promises the same result for everyone.

Is it suitable for combination or sensitive skin?

Combination skin, yes — it hydrates the dry areas without adding shine to the oily ones. For sensitive skin, patch-test for 24 hours before first use, as with any new product. It's a cosmetic for external use, so for any diagnosed condition, check with your doctor first.

Is this the original product or a copy?

It's the genuine ELTESSA product, sold directly by us. Every carton arrives sealed and batch-fresh — if a seal ever looks tampered with, don't use it and contact us.

How long does delivery take, and can I pay cash on delivery?

Delivery is free anywhere in Pakistan and typically takes 2–4 working days. Cash on delivery is available nationwide, so you pay only when the parcel is in your hands.
