Is a Gel Moisturizer Sufficient for Oily Skin?

Managing oily skin along with post-acne marks can be quite a challenge. I’ve been using retinoids and niacinamide serums, which really help, but I still find my skin getting shiny throughout the day. I usually opt for a gel moisturizer to keep things lightweight, but I often question if it’s truly enough hydration without clogging my pores.

Have any of you tried switching to a different type of moisturizer to deal with shine while still keeping your skin hydrated? Or do you think gel formulas remain the best choice for us with oily skin? I’d love to hear your experiences and tips on finding that ideal balance!
