Although I've never used it, I've heard that Garnier makes a good gel moisturizer for oily skin. I would also suggest investing in a good oil free primer. This will help control oil throughout the day and prolong your face make up. I'm not sure about any drugstore versions but Smashbox makes a great primer and I like to use the Skin Primer Matte I.T from the Body Shop. Also invest in blotting papers (drugstore brand like Neutrogena make them) and some matte powder like Rimmel Stay Matte!

Agree with Marlie ^^ but Smashbox works great but sometimes if I'm a lil low on money I get Too Faced, it works really good too just depends on your budget. And also like she said, don't get anythang that's not a matte finish! It will help tremendously. This is gonna sound weird but trust me, it works. Try putting milk of magnesia on your face too, it helps with oily skin

I use the Garnier Gel one. I'm not sure of the name exactly but it's awesome and I've been using it for over a year. I also got a sample size of Philosophy's "Breath of Fresh Air" moisturizer and it's awesome. I'm thinking of going out and buying the full size.

The Garnier Gel moisturizer is fantastic! I actually really like most of their products! It's light and doesn't leave any greasy feeling at all!

CeraVe PM Moisturizer! There is also an AM version with SPF.
Very good for oily skin (I use them and found that they help regulate the oil production)

Not sure about drugstore brand, everything I have used has been too heavy for me. I had to break down and buy Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel. It really works well if you have oily skin & a little goes a long way. Stop by a Clinique counter and ask for a sample that way you can try before you buy :)
