    I used this product as a mask every night for 3 months and my skin was clear of cysts and regular ugly red pimples (I just had bumps on my forehead that were colourless)! It also helped with...

    This stuff rocks as a pore minimizer and mattifier. I simply mix 3 drops of milk of magnesia with my usual moisturizer and I apply it all over like I usually would. I don't have gigantic pores to...

    Well, I've been holding back on rating this for the last month so I could develop my full opinion on this. As a mattifier, I haven't found it as effective as I had hoped. It keeps my skin slightly...

    Cheap and effective. I apply a very thin layer on my nose and forehead, let it dry, and then wipe off any excess whiteness before I apply my foundation. It keeps these areas from becoming complete...

    Let me start by saying NEVER have anyone ever told me my skin was clear and pretty. Well, it happened about two weeks ago. A co-worker said my skin looked so smooth and my makeup was "flawless". I...

    Wow. Milk of Magnesia works surprisingly well at minimizing the appearance of pores without overdrying skin. I had long used Erno Laszlo's and Clinique's pore minimizers (the kind that come...

    I have never used as a mattifier, but it works like a dream as an overnight spot treatment. Not only is the blemish reduced, for some reason this works to alleviate the redness and irritation...

    I use this as a mask around twice a week. I love how it helps to tone down any redness. Removes excess oil too. my face looks calmer and pimples/pimples-to-be are slightly dried up, which sort of...

    I have extremely oily, acne-prone skin-- within 30 minutes of applying my makeup, it's already mostly slid off my face. In desperation, I bought a bottle of unscented, water-based, store-brand MoM....

    My skin is very very oily. I get shine on my face all over and especially on my nose. That being said, I didn't get the results I was expecting from MoM. I really wanted to believe this would work...

    This has been my HG for years. It kills bacteria, it soothes and absorbs oil. If you break down and succumb to squeezing, do this mask and when you rince the redness is gone! Also, it dries to a...

    OK, maybe this will help - don't buy any version of this with oil in it. I read every label of everything I intend to put on my face because I've gained enough knowledge to know 80% of the time...

    This is great for oily acne prone skin and is not too drying for winter use. You have to use it daily in the summer for the benefits, but it is so cheap you can't beat it. It is a little runny so...

    This does help to refine pores and soak up oil for the time being, but the oil and shine returned within hours using this both as a mattifier and a mask. But jeez, it's like 3 bucks for the generic...

    Cheap, easy way to absorb oil for those of us with oily and acne-prone skin. However, I prefer clay masks because they seem to bring out more impurities. (I like Queen Helene's Mint Julep, it...
