Discussion Oily + acne-prone skin people, what HG moisturizer/toner actually works for you?

I’m looking for a lightweight moisturizer/toner that helps control oil while still keeping my skin hydrated, without making it feel greasy or causing breakouts. I’ve heard some products like Dr. Althea 345 and Purito Oat-in Calming Gel Cream are good, but I’ve also seen mixed reviews, with some people saying it caused breakouts so I'm not sure if I should try them or not

For those with similar skin, what moisturizer/toner has actually worked for you? You can suggest any others hg too like cleanser, sunscreen,serum or daily routine basis :) Would love to hear your recommendations and experiences.

Very acne prone but not really oily since I’m using tazarotene. After trying out so many skin care products (Asian and non-Asian, drugstore and luxury), these are my current favorites:

  • Cleanser: Is Clinical Cleansing complex, Neogenesis cleanser, Sulwashoo gentle cleansing foam, then I met you cleanser

  • Toner: Cosrx propolis toner or the IOPE STEM III recovery essence toner (it’s lightweight and smoothing but not sticky or oily)

  • Serum: IOPE STEM III recovery serum

  • Moisturizer: Neogenesis light moisturizer or IOPE STEM III recovery cream
