surface oiliness and smoothing skin texture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The product uses an \u201coil control system\u201d powered by air licium\u2014a trademarked oil-absorbing aerogel that provides maximum sebum control and a blurring effect\u2014along with zinc PCA and PHA to decrease the look of large pores and gently exfoliate. The formula\u2019s second hero is its \u201canti-aging armor rejuvenating concentrate\u201d with niacinamide to improve dark spots and discoloration, squalene to support the skin barrier, vitamin E to fight free radicals, and peptides to improve hydration, elasticity, firmness, and the look of fine lines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those consumers who want balanced skin, the oil control system helps absorb sebum and reduce sebum secretion over time, while the anti-aging armor helps even skin tone and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles,\u201d says Peterson.<br \/>In clinical studies, the gel cream strengthened the skin\u2019s moisture barrier in one hour, reduced excess surface oil in two weeks, and improved large pores and skin texture after four weeks of use.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline text-h5 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/it-cosmetics-confidence-gel-cream\/\" current-title=\"The #1 Best-Selling Anti-Aging Moisturizer On the Market Now Comes in Oil Free Form, and Helps Keep My Mature Skin Shine Free\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/wellgood_placeholder_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-07-17\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/it-cosmetics-confidence-gel-cream\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/it-cosmetics-confidence-gel-cream\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/it-cosmetics-confidence-gel-cream\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Putting IT Cosmetics&#8217; shine-stopper to the test<\/h2>\n<p>The gel cream is extremely lightweight, absorbs quickly, and has a \u201cbarely there\u201d feel after application. I particularly liked these benefits when wearing it underneath the heavier makeup I opted for during the holiday season. It helped my makeup glide on smoothly and prevented any cakiness. And, just as I hoped, the T-zone oiliness that so often shines through wasn\u2019t nearly as bad, especially after continued use of the gel cream. After a couple weeks, my skin looked smoother and more balanced, and my larger pores and dark spots were reduced.<\/p>\n<p>I also liked using the product under a tinted sunscreen during the day, but at night I gravitated to a heavier-textured moisturizer because the winter combo of cold outdoor and dry indoor air left my skin feeling parched and in need of some serious overnight repair. I\u2019m really looking forward to using the gel cream in summer when oily skin is much more of an issue for me. (The brand recommends switching between the oil-free and original formulas if your skin type fluctuates with the seasons, which is typically the case for me).<\/p>\n<p>For anyone battling oily skin year-round, the gel cream would be a recommended go-to for combatting shininess\u2014and addressing a multitude of other skin issues\u2014during any season. In fact, I really wish this product had been around when I was in my late teens and 20s and dealing with constantly oily skin. But I\u2019m glad it\u2019s here now and I\u2019ll continue to use the product for its oil-control and other benefits both under makeup and when the temps start to climb.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[0px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
