I love this product. I use it on the oily sections of my face before I moisturize and it keeps me from getting too oily throughout the day, whether I'm wearing makeup or not.

I have acne-prone, super-oily skin so I have to be careful about what I put on it. Usually I wash my face at around 6 am each day and by 10 am I'm a shiny mess. I have been using this mattifier for about 2 weeks with success. I'm happy to say that it's 4 pm and I still look pretty fresh. A little bit of this lasts me all day and I haven't had any breakouts as a result. Great price for a wonderful product!

This product is amazing for oily skin. I have super oily skin where 15 minutes after I wash my face you can see oil beads in my pores. I read reviews of this product elsewhere and someone mentioned that the more you use it the less oil you produce. I noticed a big difference in just one day! My whole face used to be super oily and now it's only in my t-zone. I can't wait to continue using it! You have to use it day and night for it to work effectively. I'm so glad I tried this product!

I have terribly oily skin and normally cannot wear any serum of any kind, even if it's meant to mattify. This works well for me. Goes on nicely and seems to even make the powder settle better? Awesome!

Good product, it leaves my skin with a matte finish for most of the day, I tend to use it under a shimmer lotion to give myself a glow by this provides a good foundation so that I glow versus looking shiny because of oil. All in all it's a good product

This lotion does what it says it will in reducing the shine on your face. However, it caused me to break out terribly.

Leaves my face feeling dry and tight. Does not set my foundation.

I love this stuff! I use it in the morning, before putting on make up, and keeps my skin oil and shine free!

This product didn't break me out as other reviewers have stated but it didn't help with my oily skin. I will not buy again.

I'm in my mid forties but have the oily skin of a teenager. This product did not work for me. Lasted maybe an hour before I became shiny. I put in on before my moisturizer per the directions. I was not impressed and would not recommend if you have VERY oily skin like me.

These Booties are great! They are very comfortable and with the round toe just perfect for every day's wear. They run a little big but I put a ball gel cushion in and it works just fine. Great shoe for the money!
