I've heard both arguments for moisturizing/not moisturizing... I guess I'm more prone to say yes, moisturize, but make it something very light. I just worry that dehydrated skin will overcompensate and get even MORE oily. Also if skin gets too dry/flaky, your pores *could* get clogged up by having too much dead skin on top.

That said, I was once told by a derm never to use anything "white or creamy." So maybe look for something water-based and see if that makes a difference. Or you could just use a hydrating serum (Dermalogica makes a good one).

Another thought: the Clinique Even Better is quite silicone-y so I'm wondering if that might contribute to breakouts?? I've read that it's happened for a few people  using it. Check your primer as well.

Also have you seen my cod liver oil post? http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/09/02/the-single-best-product-evah-for-your-skin-is-not-in-fact-an-actual-skincare-product/ Not sure what your doc prescribed but I thought I was breaking out because of "hormones" too and it still made a huge difference.
