I am trying to desperately get NY husband on a skincare regime, and I want to rip my hair out! He has acne prone, excessively oily skin which I believe is really dehydrated. Which moisturizer would you suggest I choose? I'm familiar with the original DDML as my family has used this for decades, but my husband has very different skin. I believe he would prefer a gel, over the lotion.

This hydrating jelly does absolutely gorgeous! I love it!! As my skin tends to be a bit oily, this jelly makes me feel amazing!
I will get a bigger one next time!
I was worried it was going to be sticky but once it's on and dries, it's not. it's also fragrance free which I love. I will buy this again!
Perfect when just need light hydration
I took this with me on vacation and it was perfect for light hydration under my sunscreen. Then took it to the beach and used it throughout the day to hydrate my skin in the sun and salt air. It was amazing!
Perfect lightweight moisturizer
I've always had acne prone skin and so many products, especially creamy type moisturizers break me out. This gel moisturizer has been perfect for my skin since I started using it last year and I've not had any more issues with acne. Since it's so lightweight I do like to add a couple drops of Good Molecules Bacuchiol oil for a little extra moisture and it makes it just right.
