Which are the best cosmetic brands regarding moisturizers and other facial care products? Vichy or Clinique?

Hello everyone. My name is Iris and I am 23 and unfortunately I was a smoker for quite some time fact which really damaged my skin. My skin type was dry but because I have tried numerous brands of lotions and moisturizers I kind of…confused my skin. Now it`s dry but in the same time a bit oilywith open pores..and sometimes it`s itchy and red. I have been doing some research on the internet, after spending tons of cash on cosmetics and now I am even more confused. I cant find anywhere a review or an advice which doesn't look like an advert. Even the chemists I asked weren`t too helpful. I decided to stick with two brands: Vichy and Clinique. But which is best? Please help!!! Thank you.
