VICHY Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet Gel Moisturizer for Oily Skin — 48H Hydration, Mattifying Primer

VICHY Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet is a lightweight gel moisturizer that delivers up to 48 hours of hydration while visibly mattifying oily and combination skin. This refreshing sorbet-textured gel blends hydrating and oil-controlling actives—hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, salicylic acid and Vichy Volcanic Water—to hydrate, refine pores and reduce surface shine without leaving a greasy feel. Fast-absorbing and fragrance-free, the formula works as a daily moisturizer and a matte primer under makeup, designed and tested for sensitive, combination-to-oily skin types.

How does this moisturizer balance hydration and shine?

The formula uses multi-action ingredients that hydrate deep while absorbing surface oil. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, niacinamide supports barrier function and clarity, and mattifying powders plus salicylic acid help control sebum and refine texture.

• Hyaluronic acid for long-lasting skin hydration and plumping.
• Niacinamide to improve moisture retention and even skin tone.
• Mattifying powders and salicylic acid to absorb excess oil and reduce shine.
• Vichy Volcanic Water to support the skin’s barrier with essential minerals.

Will it feel heavy or greasy on warm days?

No — the sorbet gel is formulated to feel weightless and cooling on contact. It absorbs quickly and leaves a dry-touch, non-sticky finish that’s ideal for humid conditions or when you want a lightweight daily routine.

• Sorbet gel texture that melts into skin without residue.
• Cooling sensation immediately after application for a refreshed feel.
• Dry-touch mattifying finish suitable for hot weather or active days.

Can I use Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet under makeup?

Yes — its primer-like finish creates a smooth, shine-free base that helps foundation and concealer sit better and last longer. Because it controls excess oil while preserving hydration, makeup looks more even and less prone to midday shine.

• Use a thin layer before makeup for a matte canvas.
• Helps makeup apply more evenly and reduces shine throughout the day.
• Suitable for both men and women with combination to oily skin.

Is this product safe for sensitive skin?

Formulated without fragrance and tested by dermatologists, Minéral 89 Matte Sorbet is suitable for sensitive, oily, and combination skin types. The ingredient selection focuses on barrier support and gentle oil control rather than harsh drying agents.

• Fragrance-free and silicone-free for reduced irritation risk.
• Dermatologist-tested and designed for sensitive skin tolerance.
• Balances moisture without stripping or over-drying the skin.

Who is this for? This moisturizer is ideal for anyone with combination to oily skin seeking a light, non-greasy hydrator that controls shine and preps skin for makeup. It’s a good choice for people who want visible hydration without oiliness—especially those living in warm or humid climates, commuters exposed to pollution, or anyone who prefers a fresh, matte finish while supporting long-term skin barrier health.
