Patricia Wexler M.D. Acnescriptione Oil-Free Hydrator SPF 30 for Acne

Average member rating of 6.2
Average member rating
Rated a 6.5
This lotion's lofty claims ultimately aren't reached. The trademark MMPi20 complex and Niacyl are supposed to reduce fine lines and improve your skin's own strengthening barrier, but don't make a dramatic difference after a month. Superior oil control makes it tempting to stray from my Olay Complete Defense Daily UV Moisturizer SPF 30 in the summer, but not for three times the price. Warning: When using powder foundation, don't swipe too vigorously over this lotion or it may ball up.

    False claim!

    by beauty321 (8 reviews)
    How can anyone with oily skin like this product?? I just put it on two hours ago and now my face look shinier than ever. The moisturizer felt thick and sticky to the touch. There's no way this moisturizer can absort oil, since it feels oily to begin with. From looking at the ingredients, the sunblock feature should work. ...

There's no way this moisturizer can absort oil, since it feels oily to begin with. From looking at the ingredients, the sunblock feature should work. I don't want to put up with a shiny face just for sun protection. May 22, 2008, 10:42 am

    Love it.

    I have sensitive skin. I'm wary of trying any kind of product on my face. But, my thumbs up for this one. It's non-greasy and light. My face is shine free for 8-9 hours straight!

I'm wary of trying any kind of product on my face. But, my thumbs up for this one. It's non-greasy and light. My face is shine free for 8-9 hours straight! A SPF of 30 only makes me love it more 'coz now I get sun protection too without all the oil!! I love this and have already recommended this to colleagues, friends and relatives. It's probably a little expensive, but a small drop goes a long way. December 2, 2007, 1:17 pm

    Too rich for my skin

    by amygdala (30 reviews)
    I bought this because I have oily and sensitive skin. I also have other Patricia Wexler products that I love. Although this product didn't make me break out, it definitely made my face shine and made application of mineral foundation on top of it hard. I won't buy it again. November 29, 2007, 4:08 pm

    Never trust a Doctor

    by Bellac (5 reviews)
    M.D.'s are about money and this product is too costly along with all health care products. If it has anything to do with an Medical Doctor, look out! Only trust your local Palmer College Chiropractor. September 9, 2008, 6:48 pm

    Good

    by olelala (40 reviews)
    Sort of greasy in the beginning, but I learned to put just a dime sized amount on. Not sure about its shine control claims because I happen to have a terrific anti-shine powder that I use to set my makeup, but it hasn't caused breakouts and I got it for under $4 at the semi-annual sale of B&B! That price cannot be beat. July 22, 2008, 7:39 am

    Not too impressed

    by LizC77 (37 reviews)
    I thought I would give it a try because of the strong descriptions at Bath and Body Works but unfortunately not impressed at all. Returned it right away. Thank goodness they have a great return policy. May 21, 2008, 1:55 pm
