Recommendations for lightweight skincare-focused foundation for oily skin in your forties

I am looking for recommendations for foundations for 40 year old with oily skin, preferably more skincare orientated.
My favourite foundation is lancome teint idole but it is full coverage and I would like something more skincare. I love erborian the green cc cream.
I don't like charlotte tilbury airbrush flawless foundation- far too thick.
Any suggestions?

I’ve just bought Clarins double serum foundation and am enjoying it so far, good coverage but feels light and looks natural.
I also have oily skin and am in my 40s.

A tinted moisturiser?

I have seen this and was worried that it will slide off my face. Thanks for that.

Try Sculpted by Aimee. They’re an independent I’ve been using for years but they definitely have a skin tint type of product which I’m sure they say is 90% skincare.

I like Dior Forever Hydranude.

I love sculpted by Aimee. The skin tint is fab.
