L'Oreal Pure Zone Skin Relief Oil-Free Moisturizer Reviews

I've been using this product for about 1 week and my skin looks much nicer than when I was using proactive. It feels softer and also less greasy although after about 2 hours or so my skin looks oily again (but that happened when I was using proactive too so I don't mind, I use blotting paper)
I have very oily skin with large pores and blackheads on my nose. Since I've been using my regimen my pores are smaller, my skin looks more hidrated and fresh and I have definitely less blackhead and NO scysts.
My regimen consists of washing with a citric cleanser, moustourize during the day, (important too is to use sunscreen) and exfoliating at night.
1)I use NEUTROGENA PORE REFINING CLEANSER wich contains ahas and beta hidroxy, this cuts the grease on my skin without over drying. Also refines my pores.

2) PUREZONE MOUSTERIZER : I put on my the step 3 of Purezone, I don't use the step 2 because I don't want to overdry my skin (if so, then my skin will produce more oil)
3) EXFOLIATE 4 - 5 TIMES A WEEK , this is important because you not only should get rid of the clogging oil but also of the dead cells on your skin. If you have oily skin you should exfoliate more often since the oil of your skin makes the dead cells harder to get rid off. I exfoliate at night after cleansing my face, and for this I used the simplest scrub: "baking soda", because is the gentliest of all the scrubs and plus is very cheap. I put some baking soda and I add water so I get the consistency of brown sugar. Then I massage it on my skin very gently and then I wash my face and moustourize with the purezone moustourizer.
Try this regimen and see if it works for you. I've seen that if you get rid of the excess oil and the dead cells on your skin, that will diminsh the ammount of pimples, specially scysts.

Just started using this product, do you think it will make my oily skin break out even more? also, should i use the other 2 steps in this three step system?

very happy with it, no clogging from the matte finish stuff

I love it!!

i used the 3 step part and it realy helped my face get alot better it has made my face alot softer too!

Product was a bit too mattifying" on the skin for us women who like to wear foundation over moisturizer. Somewhat had a drying effect. Good for shine, but bad for makeup.

Used with 3-step care system. It tended to ball stick together alot so I have to let it soak it before using a towel to rub the clumps off. Doesn't make my acne any worse and it doesn't hurt even though i have sensitive skin. Be very careful with the 3-step care system it came on contact with my eyes and made the whole skin peel off wasn't very nice. Makes my skin feel soft and suble though. No over tightness.

Didn't really help with my blackheads and whiteheads, but was a good overall moisturizer.

I would only suggest buying this if you have combination skin. This has microscopic powders in it that keep your face from getting shiny, but it clogs up your pores if you're like me and have oily skin (esp on humid days). Overall, the breakouts it caused were more of a hassle than the benefits it provided (keeping my face shine-free).
