Pros:

N/a

Cons:

Made my face MORE oily, also dried out my face, overpowering smell, feels greasy, overpriced.

I seriously wanted this to work, but unfortunately it didn't. Every morning that I have used this product, I could smell it while I was in class. It was basically seeping out of my pores. My face was much more oily and greasy when using this, yet at the same time dried out my skin horribly leaving my face oily, dry, and scaly with flakes all over. I am fair skinned and have adult hormonal acne with combination skin. Try at your own risk as many people seem to have success with this product, but if you have a similar complexion to mine, stay away from this garbage.

Pros:

Hydrates skin, reduces oil...sort of

Cons:

Doesn't banish oil completely

I like this product. I have VERY OILY skin, and i mean very oily lol! But since i use benzoyl peroxide i also have dry skin. This product works to moisturize my skin and it does help reduce the shine, however my skin still gets oily throughout the day. But whenever i don't use this, my face is super oily, so this stuff does work. I would give it a try. Plus, it's also helpful to use those oil-absorbing sheets too. Good luck!

Pros:

First month works awesome, matte tzone keeps skin fresh. Smell isnt bad and fresh feeling once applied to the skin.

Cons:

After a few months, my skin was use to this product and slightly helped with the shine but after about 2 hrs, my skin is oily and shiny, make up feels heavy, rubs, really doesnt do much.

I find if you are a first time user this product will be fantastic

I have very oily skin, one that leaves residue if rubbed against hands. My skin is extremely oily when i wake up and find that skin feels clogged throughout the day. I work full time and need to reapply make up twice a day properly and need to powder t zone about 4 times a day.
