Oily and combination skin has a paradox: it produces excess oil, yet it is often dehydrated — and most moisturisers designed for oily skin either skip hydration entirely or feel too heavy to wear comfortably. The BelleVie Oil-Free Hydrating Gel 50ml is one of the best gel moisturisers for oily and acne-prone skin: a multi-HA complex (sodium hyaluronate, rhamnose, glucose, glucuronic acid) delivers deep, lasting water-based hydration, Zinc PCA supports sebum regulation and helps keep blemish-prone skin clearer, and organic watercress extract provides antioxidant protection — all in a lightweight, non-comedogenic gel that absorbs in seconds and layers cleanly under SPF and makeup. Herbal citrus verbena scent from natural essential oils.

No oils. No silicones. No heaviness. Just the hydration oily and combination skin actually needs. 100% natural origin, 27% organic. COSMOS Natural certified by ECOCERT, vegan, and EU-made.

Key Ingredients

• Zinc PCA — a bioavailable form of zinc that regulates sebum production, supports clearer-looking skin, and helps reduce excess shine — particularly effective for oily and acne-prone skin
• Multi-HA Complex (Sodium Hyaluronate + Rhamnose + Glucose + Glucuronic Acid) — four complementary hydrating actives that attract and retain moisture at multiple skin levels for deep, lasting hydration without oil or heaviness
• Watercress Flower/Leaf Extract (organic) — an antioxidant-rich botanical active rich in vitamin C and natural compounds that supports a more balanced, radiant-looking complexion and protects against environmental stressors
• Betaine + Aloe Vera Juice — natural humectant and soothing base that hydrate, calm, and improve skin comfort without disrupting the skin’s natural oil balance

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this moisturiser really oil-free?

Yes — the BelleVie Oil-Free Hydrating Gel contains no oils of any kind. It is formulated with water-based humectants — a multi-HA complex, betaine, and aloe vera — that hydrate without adding oil or heaviness. Specifically designed for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin that needs moisture without shine.

What does Zinc PCA do for oily skin?

Zinc PCA is a bioavailable form of zinc that regulates sebum production at the skin’s surface, helping to reduce excess shine and keep pores clearer. Unlike harsh astringents that strip the skin, Zinc PCA works by normalising oil production — so skin stays balanced rather than swinging between oily and dry. It is one of the most effective non-drying actives for oily and acne-prone skin.

Can I use this if my skin is oily but dehydrated?

Yes — this is exactly the formula oily-but-dehydrated skin needs. Oily skin is often dehydrated because it produces excess oil to compensate for lack of water. This gel restores water balance with the multi-HA complex and betaine, while Zinc PCA helps regulate oil production — addressing both concerns simultaneously.

Will this clog pores or feel greasy?

No — the lightweight gel formula is non-comedogenic and free from oils and silicones. The fast-absorbing texture leaves a fresh, balanced finish — not greasy, not matte, just comfortable and hydrated.

Is BelleVie vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes — all BelleVie products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, COSMOS Natural certified by ECOCERT Greenlife, and formulated and manufactured in the EU to the highest cosmetic safety standards.
