Users say that Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel is wonderful for combination and oily skin types. Experts say that it is lightweight, silky and oil-free but wish that it contained sunscreen. Still, consumers praise Clinique for providing just the right amount of moisture without clogging pores -- something that can be difficult to find for oily skin. For those who prefer more moisture along with sunscreen, reviewers say you can't go wrong with Olay Regenerist UV Defense Regenerating Lotion SPF 15 (*est. $19 for 2.5 ounces).

We found the best review for Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel at CosmeticsCop.com, Paula Begoun's consumer website; she bases her list of inexpensive beauty products on scientific testing of ingredients. About.com also lists the best moisturizers by skin type, but it isn't clear how much testing was done. MakeupAlley.com and TotalBeauty.com list hundreds of user reviews that, for the most part, seem to be in agreement.
