Meh. I have combination skin; this wasn't moisturising enough, even for my oily areas. My skin felt parched throughout the day and I couldn't wait to get home and slather on my Avene Hydrance...

It has lightweight texture. So, no worries for those who have combo/oily skin, this sunscreen would do a great job for you. It certainly mattifies your skin. It's easy to apply because of its...

Very impressive suncreen. Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with other helpful ingredients to mitigate sun damage and improve the appearance of skin. It doesn't make my face look shiny, doesn't...

I have so mixed feelings about this lotion. The texture is awsome for oily acne people, feels light/weightless onn the face. It goes on matte, but more satinmatte on my face, it does a great job of...

Simply put, it breaks me out! Whenever I use this product, the next day, redness and bumps coming on my cheeks. I've never got that bad break outs before. I don't have sensitive skin.

This is the best product for acne prone oily skin ever! It doesn't contain dimethicone and doesn't clog my big pores at all. There is nothing comparable for oily skin because all these oil-free SPF...

This is categorized as a moisturizer, but I wouldn't say that it is particularly moisturizing. It is mainly a sunscreen for the face that won't make you look shiny. This is what I use in the warmer...

I have mixed feelings about this product. It is very hard to find an spf lotion for oily skin that actually has UVA/UVB protection, and this is one of only a very few out there. Always read...

I don't know that I would call this mattifying, but I frankly don't think anything for those of us with oily skin is ever mattifying enough. This feels thick, but absorbs completely and doesn't...

If you have oily skin, ignore the negative reviews. I have struggled for years to find something that I can wear underneath makeup and this is it. It's a little pricey, considering how small the...

I'm reviewing the sample of this moisturiser. First of all, I don't know if this is a moisturiser or a sunscreen or a bit of both as it definitely feels like a sunscreen. PC put a lot of emphasis...

This is a very decent moisturiser. I have since stopped using it as I felt that it wasnt really mattifying enough for me and I wasnt in love with it. However, as with all Paula's products I was...

I hate this moisturizer. My skin is oily, but this moisturizer dries it out too much, so you'd think it was good, but the skin doesn't feel smooth or moisturized, just like a tad of product...
