Hey there, I have combination skin (T zone) as well.. The moisturizer I use is from Shielo.. It’s called Shielo Complexion AntiAging Moisturizer .. I don’t know if you’ll find the similar one where you stay.. But this moisturizer from Shielo is for oily or combination skin .. I really like this brand.. It doesn’t cause me any break outs.. Hope this helps!!

I use water based moisturizer during summer and the oil based one during winter.

Sometimes it’s stated on the moisturizer. If not, you have to look into the ingredients. Usually water is the first ingredient and if you do not see a lot of oil ingredients, especially not listed right on top, chances are it’s most probably water-based. Also, when you feel the texture, it’s more lotion like and less oily.

How could I know if the moisturizer is oil-based or water-based?

Ya, I’m also leery of creams…I dilute them with a mist of evian water nowadays. Otherwise, some days I have these small bumps too.
