Reviews Summary
Customers say this serum helps control oil production throughout the day, particularly in the T-zone area. Many reviews mention reduced shine and longer-lasting makeup. While some experience visible results quickly, others note it may take several weeks to see effects. The texture absorbs well, though several users report a white cast if not properly blended. Common feedback includes improved skin texture and smaller-appearing pores. Some find the packaging challenging, noting issues with product dispensing. Reviews are mixed on effectiveness for extremely oily skin, with most seeing moderate improvement rather than complete oil control.

    Definitely reduces excess oil

    I like this product. It does what it claims. I use it daily and will reorder. The only thing is after I apply this and then my lotion and then my sunscreen I notice a flakiness. I dont think it's do to this but my lotiin that has niacinamide and glutathione in it . I am not sure if applying all these ingredients is causing the crumbling of what I applied. It's not dry skin. Anyway I tried is without my lotion with just sunscreen on top and it works fine. Does not flake. I do need to blott on hot days but it keeps my skin looking less oily. I highly recommended it and will be purchasing it again.
