I have dry and oily skin. I have been looking for a moisturizer for the past few months, but I can’t find one that works for me.

I am in my mid-twenties and have combination skin. My T-zone gets very oily during the day, especially if I’m wearing makeup. However, my cheeks tend to get dry when I wash off my makeup at night.

I have tried different moisturizers with varying results:

CeraVe Hydrating Lotion – This lotion is lightweight, but it makes my T-zone more oily than usual and doesn’t do anything for my cheeks.

CeraVe PM – The gel formula is better than the lotion because it doesn’t make me as oily, but it still doesn’t save my dry cheeks.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel – This was an okay product that did help with my dryness but made me more oily than usual throughout the day. It also felt sticky on top of makeup (which I never use).
