Vichy Mineral 89 Matte Sorbet 48H Gel Moisturizer 50 mL - Brand New

The Vichy Mineral 89 Matte Sorbet is the oily-skin member of the Mineral 89 moisturiser range, a 50 mL gel that holds hydration for up to 48 hours while leaving the skin surface genuinely matte. It is built for normal to oily and combination skin, the kind that drinks up a moisturiser in the morning and still looks shiny by lunchtime.

The texture is where this one earns its name. A sorbet gel melts on contact instead of sitting on the skin as a film, so it absorbs in seconds and leaves nothing tacky behind. That makes it easy to layer: sunscreen goes on over it without pilling, and makeup sits on top the way it would over a primer rather than sliding around on a slick base.

Four actives do the work. Minerals and pure hyaluronic acid handle the hydration and help skin look plumper and less tight. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, soothes and supports the moisture barrier that oily skin often strips through over-cleansing. Salicylic acid keeps the pore surface clear, and a mattifying powder absorbs the excess oil that would otherwise show up as shine a few hours into the day. The formula is fragrance-free and silicone-free, which is worth knowing if your skin is both oily and reactive.

Vichy ran a self-assessment consumer test on 217 people: 95 percent agreed their skin did not feel oily or greasy, and 91 percent agreed their skin looked clean and clear. Use it morning and night, smoothing and massaging a small amount over clean skin, and it slots in as the moisturiser step of a routine you already have rather than replacing the whole thing.

Key Features

• 48-hour moisture - one application carries hydration well past the day you put it on, so skin is not tight by evening.
• Matte, primer-like finish - the Mineral 89 Matte Sorbet leaves no shine and gives makeup a smooth surface to sit on.
• Pure hyaluronic acid and minerals - draws water into the skin and helps it look plumper and more even.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3) - calms the look of irritation and supports a moisture barrier that oily skin tends to strip.
• Salicylic acid - keeps the pore surface clear on skin that congests easily.
• Mattifying powder - absorbs excess oil through the day instead of letting it build into shine.
• Sorbet gel texture - non-sticky, non-greasy and lightweight, absorbing in seconds under sunscreen or makeup.
