    I think this is amazing. I have combo skin, and sometimes this isn't enough on it's own, so i will layer this over another lotion. it really does help cut down on my oil production more than any...

    To be honest, I was going to write a very positive review on this product. It provides moisturization that is enough for day time in order for your make-up not to slide and it sinks in almost...

    My greatest complaint about this lotion is that it left me with swollen, itchy, flaking eyelids and a rash on my throat. My skin is not especially sensitive, I have no allergies that I know of, and...

    If you have oily and sentitive skin, STAY AWAY from this product. It made me break out in red little bumps that I am now trying to get rid of. The pump is very annoying and does not always work. ...

    I am really pleased with this, it really DOES mattify! My skin is oily and acne prone, and this moisturiser keeps my skin shine free all day and does not clog the pores. I really like it. One thing...

    One of the best product's in Paula's line. A moisturizer that does not make your face feel greasy or oily! This goes on light and seems to absorb well - does not sit on my face. I think it does...

    Ugh, awful. It is a rather thin lotion, and when applied, it rolls off your face in little balls. I wanted to really try wearing this so i struggled to gently take off the excess 'balled up...

    Love this SPF lotion. Unlike some other SPF moisturizers, it's not greasy at all. In this way, I can make sure that I use enough of it to get enough protection. I have sensitive skin, and this...

    Love this light moisturizer/sunscreen. At first I was disappointed because it isn't what I expected 'mattifying' to be,like a silicone primer. But, this doesn't add any shine to my oily skin like...
