Dry climate or need mental clarity and moisture balance — Desert Squirt. Many customers keep both and alternate based on the day, the climate, or the vibe they need. They're not competing products. They're two tools for two different conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ds-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"ds-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use this on oily skin?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;margin:0\"\u003eYes.
