ITK Prebiotic Gel Face Moisturizer for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin — Niacinamide + Squalane, Lightweight Matte Hydration

ITK Prebiotic Gel Moisturizer is an oil-free, lightweight hydrator that calms and balances oily, acne-prone skin using niacinamide, squalane and cucumber extract.

Designed for skin that needs hydration without heaviness, this gel formulation supports the skin's microbiome with prebiotic actives while delivering soothing cucumber extract and niacinamide to address uneven texture and dark spots. The vegan, cruelty-free formula is free of parabens, sulfates and synthetic fragrance, packaged in a recyclable bottle and box. Dermatologist-tested and crafted to layer smoothly under sunscreen and makeup, the moisturizer absorbs quickly to leave a refreshed, non-greasy finish.

How does this moisturizer hydrate without making skin oily?

The gel base uses lightweight, oil-free ingredients that attract and lock in moisture without adding excess sebum. Squalane in a low concentration restores barrier function with a weightless feel, and prebiotics help preserve the skin’s natural balance so hydration lasts longer.

• Oil-free gel texture absorbs quickly with a matte finish
• Squalane replenishes lipids without greasy residue
• Prebiotic support helps maintain healthy moisture levels

Will this help with breakouts and dark spots?

Niacinamide is included to help even skin tone and support barrier repair, which can reduce the appearance of post-acne dark spots over time. The formula is non-comedogenic and soothing cucumber extract reduces irritation that can worsen breakouts; consistent use complements other acne treatments but does not replace prescription care.

• Niacinamide targets texture and hyperpigmentation
• Cucumber extract calms redness and sensitivity
• Non-comedogenic, lightweight for layering with acne products

How should I use it in my daily routine?

Use morning and night after cleansing and any thin, water-based serums (like vitamin C or hyaluronic acid). Apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck, then follow with sunscreen in the morning. For layering with active treatments, allow each step to absorb before adding the next product.

• Apply after cleansing and serum steps
• Use AM + PM; always add SPF in the morning
• Works well under makeup due to fast absorption

What ingredients make it safe for sensitive, acne-prone skin?

The formulation avoids common irritants such as parabens, sulfates and synthetic fragrances while including dermatologist-tested actives suited for reactive skin. The presence of prebiotics and soothing plant extract helps maintain microbiome balance and reduce flare-ups when used as directed.

• Free from parabens, sulfates and synthetic fragrance
• Vegan, cruelty-free formulation with dermatologist testing
• Contains calming cucumber extract and microbiome-friendly prebiotics

Who is this for: ITK Prebiotic Gel Moisturizer is aimed at people with oily, combination or acne-prone skin who want lightweight, non-greasy hydration that supports a healthy skin barrier. It suits anyone looking to reduce shine and improve skin texture while avoiding heavy oils and irritants—ideal for daytime use under makeup and for evening routines that include targeted acne treatments.
