holy grail moisturizers for combo skin?

Lately I've noticed certain spots on my face seem to be dryer looking than normal when I've got foundation on. It's not a normal dry by any means: no flaking or itching but it's noticeable enough to me that I'm hunting for a great moisturizer. I usually have oily skin but I've got plenty of moisturizers aimed towards oily skin and they don't quite cut it for medium-full coverage makeup (not with setting powder so that my foundation will make it through the whole day). I'm acne prone and very oily pretty much every where except my jaw and outside corners of my lips. I'd love to hear everyone's favorites moisturizers that will keep my whole face nicely hydrated. Preferably something not too heavy for my oily spots but enough to balance the "dry" ish spots, and acne safe please! Should I also be looking at different primers? Currently I use smashbox photo finish control primer and usually skinfix barrier + gel cream moisturizer or first aid beauty oil control moisturizer Thanks guys 💕

You could try incorporating a hydraulic acid after your moisturiser as this will pull the moisture down into the skin layers and seal it. Hada labo is a lightweight spray texture and easily available worldwide .Alternative you can buy a big tub of hydraulic gel from the likes of stylevanna. This will smooth out the skin first. Then for make up primers have a look at some of the Korean products which are targeted for your skin needs. Also for acne products again try the Korean products I got recommended a great mask from saem that takes redness out and reduces acne very quickly. It’s really just a case of trying some different brands to see what works for you personally as everyone’s skin is different

ohhh I'm combi skin and I love these two so much! The illiyoon is so good as basic moisturizer for daily, because u can always use it with any actives. The klairs is my savior for my redness because I always have it since my breakout in 2022
