    This was OK. It is a very light lotion moisturizer that did mattify my t-zone. I think that my skin might be too dry for a product like this, because it wasn't enough moisture for me. I was...

    I have been using this for a week now and hands down one of the best oil control moisturisers I have tried. I really does help to keep your face looking matte for most of the day. I have to add...

    I love this product. I bought it because I had been using the cleanser for a while now and it worked wonderfully for my skin. At first it looked like my skin was reacting negatively to it, and I...

    I was hoping this moisturizer would keep my skin shine free, but it made my skin breakout like crazy. This was a waste of money, and it was expensive:(

    I didn't like the smell and I found that it didn't sink in to my skin very well. In the end I switched products because it didn't do much for my skin.
