Moisturizer recommendations

Hello!! Can you guys please recommend me some moisturizers because my face has been so oily ever since I moved back here sa PH 😭 Currently kong ginagamit is yung Aestura atobarrier 365 cream kaso sobrang oily na ng skin ko. I need a moisturizer that won’t make me this oily pero nakakatulong parin sa skin barrier kasi nag ttretinoin ako every other night. Thank you!!

Hi guys! I've been on tretinoin for about a month now, which I apply every day, and it's officially summer, which means that the water and air here are really hot. I noticed that my skin started stinging when I used my moisturizer today and thought that my skin might be irritated because of the water being hot. Are there any products you guys can recommend me since I think I need more hydrating products, but I'm not really sure on what to buy?

For reference,

The products I use: Cetaphil gentle cleanser (light blue one), I'm From rice toner, the Axis-Y heartleaf my type calming skin repair cream as my moisturizer, Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, and 0.05% tretinoin (cream).

My routine: In the morning, I just wash my face with water, apply my toner and moisturizer, then top it all off with my sunscreen. At night, I cleanse my face with the cleanser, use my toner, apply tretinoin, and then my moisturizer. And yes, I let the products sink in before I apply the others.

Side note: I was thinking of removing tretinoin from my routine for a few days, and I'm also thinking of buying the iUNIK beta glucen serum to layer on top of my toner, as well as the Aestura atobarrier 365 cream to replace my current moisturizer, but I'm not really sure if these products will help, so if you guys have any insights, it would be really helpful. I also have combination skin, but due to the tretinoin, my cheeks have been drier, while my nose is still a bit oily at times, though mostly dry. That's all, apologies for making this a bit too long 😅 thank you!
