Moisturizers do not add oil to our skin. So it is wrong to believe that oily skin does not need moisturizers. In case you have dry skin then you should go for a creamy moisturizer with vitamin E, and for oily skin opt for a lighter one with AHAs and BHAs(Alpha/Beta hydroxy Acids). In case of excessively oily skin go for a hydrant maybe in the form of a mist.
