The Purito Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream is my current go to, it’s pretty light weight and gel like but I can layer a few times or put serum underneath and it feels pretty hydrated. Not sure what others think though :)

I use the Aestura Atobarrier365 cream and I love it! It’s not light I will tell you that, for you cheeks will be amazing! I’m also oily and acne prone girl and I have used the Aestura cream for dry skin and even though I had zero problems with it, it saved my skin barrier from many breakouts! The thing is I use the tiniest amount of it in my skin and spreads really easily. But you can also be clever than I was and buy the gel version for oily skin if you feel like the creamy one is too much! No matter what you choose the brand itself is AMAZING and the Atobarrier line (blue one) is just perfect for boost and protect your skin barrier, can’t recommend enough 🩵

I have recently found the Aestura Atobarrier365 hydro soothing cream. It’s lightweight and soothing and also has barrier support just like the blue 365 cream! It was also so cooling in the hot humid summer weather!

@Emily I don't know that two different moisturizers would be the answer, even if that's what you wanted to do (and I see you don't). It sounds to me like you may need to pick a hydrating toner for your dehydrated skin and a lightweight cream that will go lightly over your oily areas, but could be layered to keep the dehydrated areas from losing moisture. Frankly, I liked the CYoung Hana moisturizer for that. It didn't clog my oily t-zone and builds nicely on the cheeks. I love the feel of AESTURA's hydro gel moisturizer but haven't used it long enough to tell you if it will clog an oily t-zone.

Instead of switching the moisturizer, you can try another toner and serum. I have extremely dehydrated cheeks that no matter how much moisturizer I put on it still feels tight and dry. I switch from watery or milky toner to gel type toner and it fixes this issue for me. I recommend dr, sante azulene toner a lot for this. Axis y also released a gel toner and I hear good things about them.
