IT Cosmetics Do It All Tinted Moisturizer Balm has the best record for combination skin, with 10 of 11 shoppers saying it stayed comfortable on their dry areas without getting greasy or sliding off their oily areas, though that group is small. Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer follows at 25 of 33, then Beautyblender 12-Hour Always On Radiant Skin Tint at 15 of 21, the best pick sold on Amazon because we could not confirm an Amazon listing for the two ahead of it.

Where these numbers come from

The 7 products ranked here carry 29,702 reviews at Ulta and Sephora. We searched them for greasiness or dryness and read the newest matching reviews, up to 40 per product and store, posted between Feb 2012 and Oct 2026.

A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.

Ulta also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. They run much more positive than store reviews of the same products (across 19 products with both, 76% of brand-site reviewers said the product solved the problem, against 55% of Ulta shoppers), so we show them on product cards but never count them.

Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.

Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.

Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.

An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.

Questions buyers ask

Which tinted moisturizer works for combination skin?

IT Cosmetics Do It All Tinted Moisturizer Balm has the best record (10 of 11), followed by Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer (25 of 33) and Beautyblender 12-Hour Always On Radiant Skin Tint (15 of 21). bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer (7 of 10), Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Hydrating Gel Skin Tint (17 of 29) and NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 (18 of 32) come next and sit close together, since the first has the higher share but rests on a smaller group. Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Balm Serum Boosted Skin Tint has the weakest record here at 7 of 15.

Which of these tinted moisturizers are sold on Amazon?

Beautyblender 12-Hour Always On Radiant Skin Tint is sold on Amazon by the brand or Amazon itself, and since we could not confirm an Amazon listing for IT Cosmetics Do It All Tinted Moisturizer Balm or Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer, it is the best pick sold on Amazon at 15 of 21. bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer, Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Hydrating Gel Skin Tint, NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 and Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Balm Serum Boosted Skin Tint have no buy link here, because too few shoppers reported a good result for us to recommend them.

How many shoppers are behind each record?

The second number in each record is the group size. It runs from 10 shoppers for bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer to 33 for Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer. The ranking weighs group size, so a record from a bigger group counts for more than the same share from a smaller one.

Are these records a lab test of each tint?

These records are not a lab test. The counts are what shoppers with combination skin said after using each tint, so follow the label directions on whichever one you pick.
