I picked the Shiseido Pureness Mattifying moisturizer after trying out and loving a couple of samples. The moisturizer is housed in a heavy frosted glass bottle and comes with a pump dispenser that does a good job of dispensing the product. The moisturizer itself is quite lightweight, gel-like lotion, and it has oil-abosorbing powder mixed in to help blot out excess oiliness. This does have alcohol listed in the ingredients list (check below for complete list), but it has not irritated my skin, caused any sensitivity/burning, or caused/exacerbated any dry patches.

The product itself is a thin gel-like consistency. There is a light, clean fragrance to it that I barely notice now that I have been using the moisturizer regularly for a while. I use about 3 pumps for my face and neck area. The moisturizer is easy to spread and absorbs easily into the skin, leaving skin hydrated as well moisturized. Thanks to the oil-absorbing powders, it leaves my skin feeling smooth to touch and I do think it stays looking fresh all through the day.
Shiseido Pureness Mattifying Moisturizer is my current favorite summer-time light-weight moisturizer for my skin type. It leaves my skin hydrated and my skin looking fresh. The mattifying effect is just right - healthy, clean-looking skin without too much of a dry, chalky look. I have not had any breakouts or skin sensitivity with using this product either. Apart from the Shiseido Pureness Moisturizer, I also use an alcohol-free toner/softener from Shiseido The Skin range, which is a little more hydrating to the skin. The combination of these two products works best for my oily-combination skin type, adding moisture into the skin rather than heavy oils.
For winters, I think I might need a slightly heavier lotion/cream. Its just starting to get a little cold here, and I already am using more product than I used to earlier.

Update (Dec 2016) - My current favorite moisturizer is Belif Aqua Bomb. I also use SKII products - SKII Face Mask and my toner/softener routine now includes SKII Facial Treatment Essence and SKII Facial Treatment Clear Lotion.
I have the same skin type Rads..acne anytime and any where but if i use alcohol free toner 2-3 times a day it helps..
