    I think I might be a tiny bit less oily than usual when I wear this under my sunscreen and mineral makeup. I still have to blot but I don't have to do it as often. The texture is a runny, liquidy...

    I decided to try this due to a recommendation from a friend. Whilst this does an OK job in controlling oil for the day, i do not find it's worth the price...$26CAD for 40ml. i have only used this...

    It does actually get rid of most of the shine for my combo skin but doesn't do much for the pimples. I like the smell too mmm..cucumbers.

    This product is good if you want subtle shine control. If you have a really greasy face this is not for you. This is a good product because it mositurizes and wont cause future breakouts.
