The only AHA moisturizer I'll use

This product does an extremely good job at controlling oil throughout the day. With continued use, I can see the 'pores' on my nose shrinking. I only use this on my forehead and nose as I need moisture in other areas. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis

Impressed

I have to say I was fairly impressed with this product, because I didn't want to buy it. It's expensive. It's small. There's salicylic acid in it (for some reason, my skin reacts poorly to lotions with SA in it). And, it's really light. But after using it, it works. It's still small and expensive (I can't change those things), but my skin hasn't reacted badly to it yet. Actually, the lotion seem...read mores to be doing the job, and has kept me with a matte face. I do have to say though, that it took my skin at least 3 days to adjust from my heavy-cream like lotion to the very light lotion that this is. Thus, I had some flaking where my acne was healing. But now, without the flaking...the product is fine and my skin is good :)

oily skin

I have combination skin, and I hate when my forehead is super oily after a few hrs. This product was suggested to me at a salon. I haven't decided if I like it or not. It may have improved the oiliness some but I don't know if it is enough of a result for me to buy it again. It's a little on the pricey side. I think it may have made my skin break out a little too. I stopped using it, so I can't say for sure, but the product has caffeine in it, and I try to avoid caffeine

Great product for oily skin!

I have very very oily skin. I tried this product and it works great on oily skin. Retains the moisture but my skin does not look as oily!

This works

The oil control lotion would work perfectly for me if i apply it twice a day. I use it at 8am before applying make up and when I get to work at 9:30am my face is not oily... before I used to see shine everywhere when i looked in the mirror. It last for a few hours, but I do find that I should reapply before leaving work (I usually don't though). I have very oily skin and overall this is a good product, it works for me.

Wish I had this when I was 15

Great light weight lotion definately controls shine all day. My naturally shiny (oily) skin stays very matte. I tend to use this product, with smashbox photo finish over it. Oil Control Lotion hasn't dried out my skin, and has reduced my breakouts. It's not irritating at all, and hasn't caused me to be dull or flaky. It smells a little funny, but there's no greasy residue almost immediately aft...read moreer I put it on. Once it's gone, I don't think I'll use it again... but It may have been the answer when I was in my teens : ) Love the rest of the products I've tried by Dermalogica,
