Moisturizer for dry oily skin (self.skincareaddiction)

You read the title right.

I am applying tretinoin on my face every night so naturally it tends to become very dry. Without putting a moisturiser my skin will break.

The problem is, I naturally have a very very oily skin. And what happens is after the shower the skin is super dry, I put moisturiser, and then some hours pass and my natural oil comes through and my face starts to look disgusting, super shiny and greasy. This is a problem specially now that summer is upon us and sweat is added to the mixture (I live in Europe).

I'm currently using CeraVe products to moisturise my face, and I realize that maybe this is not the right call for my face. Do you guys know a good and cheap alternative I can use and that I'm able to get in Portugal?

Kind regards

l have oily dehydrated skin and it's not the cheapest option but I swear by LaRochePosay's Toleriane Fluide. I'm in Spain so pretty sure you can get it in Portugal. It is so light and gentle on the skin. Good luck on your tret journey!
