Makeup Optional, Congested Skin

Hello! I have a question for all of you Philosophy addicts! I have been a fan of the 3-in-1s for a while, but I have finally decided to venture into Phil skincare. Some backgroud: I am 21 years old and have combination skin. I used to have pretty bad acne but have finally gotten it mostly under control with just the ocassional breakout a few times a month. I have combination skin with clogged pores on my nose and cheeks. My nose and chin tend to get oily, while my cheeks and eye area can get really dry.

I ordered the Makeup Optional kit for Congested Skin the other day. It should be here Monday. I am a little worried about Hope in a Bottle though. (this kit comes with HIAB instead of HIAJ.) I'm afraid that it is going to make my skin too dry! With my skin type, I DEFINITELY need a moisturizer, but I can't take anything too heavy or I will start breaking out. I have tried a few samples of HIAJ, and I really like it! However, I have heard many people say that it clogs their pores, which I definitely don't need since that is what I'm trying to get rid of!

So, what do yall think? Do you think I will like the kit? If for some reason it doesn't work, any other recommendations??
