Pros - Oil control + moisturizer = unique
- Doesn't seem to cause break outs
Cons - Not the miracle oil control product it's advertised to be, at least not for me.
Bottom line I'm beginning to wonder if those who sell/promote products also give them high praise on review sites where they can.

As a real person with moderately oily skin, this really is no different than any other oil control lotion I've tried, other than it has a thicker consistency and is also a moisturizer

I'm still oily an hour after using it, and pull out the blot sheets. I do wear make up.

I'll use the rest of it, because I like having a product like this one filling my pores rather than straight make up... but I certainly don't find it to be an " I can't live without this" type lotion

Pros Works well, with matte finish. Non-comedogenic. Good sunscreen with zinc.
Cons Cost
Bottom line Excellent stuff. I use it only for the top half of my face, which is the most oily. SPF also works great. Have had no sunburns since using this.

Pros Along with the other products I use, this keeps my extremely oily acne prone skin shine free almost all day and it has spf 15. It also has anti-aging, skin calming, acne fighting ingredients.
Cons It has the consistancy of glue, making it somewhat hard to spread onto my face. It is also very expensive for a 1.7 ounce tube, but sometimes I can find a better deal at amazon. I just recently found a new tube there for $29.50, instead of the normal cost of $39.50.
Bottom line I used to have EXTREMELY oily acne prone skin, but I finally found a regimen that works very well for me to control this problem. In the evening, I wash my face with 2 pumps of Neutrogena oil-free acne wash for one minute, follow with SkinMedica acne treatment toner, allow to dry, then apply a pea-sized amount of PanOxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide gel to all oily, acne prone areas of my face. In the morning, I again use 2 full pumps of Neutrogena oil-free acne wash for one minute, followed again with SkinMedica acne treatment toner, allow to dry, then apply about a pea-sized amount of Murad oil-control mattifier spf 15. These products (Neutrogena oil-free acne wash, SkinMedica acne treatment toner and a physical barrier sunscreen with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) were recommended for my skin type (oily, sensitive, pigmented, tight) in Dr. Baumann's 'Skin Type Solution' book and it has all worked very well for me.

Pros This is the best oil-control moisturizer I have ever used (and I have tried pretty much ever other one out there!). I have pretty oily skin and it keeps me shine-free all day. Smells nice and has SPF 15.
Cons Bit expensive (but worth it)
Bottom line Great moisturizer for oily skin with added SPF 15
Price paid $39.50
