Anti-Shine Winner

I have combination skin, which means my t-zone (mainly my nose) gets oily and therefore quite shiny throughout the day. Use of makeup seems to help block this, but I don’t wear makeup everyday. And I don’t like looking dirty/oily just because I have chosen not to wear makeup! This has been the only anti-shine product that has EVER worked for me! As the day goes on, I barely get any oiliness where I’ve applied this lotion. I use it on my nose every morning now and always buy it again as soon as I’m starting to run low. In the summer, when I sweat (read: glisten) more, I will use it all over my face. It helps that it contains SPF 15. Though, this is not enough SPF for the beach or yard work in the summer. And I will mention that it will sweat into your eyes and sting horribly if you’re really drenched. But for normal daily use, this stuff is the best!

Oil control moisturiser that actually works

My skin is combination and I tend to get an oily t-zone so I tried this Murad moisturiser to see if it would help me ending the day with a greasy t-zone. I've been so impressed as it's still moisturising but with continued use has really made a difference to my oily t-zone, to the point it's no longer an issue. The only thing is that I would prefer if it had a higher spf but otherwise I really like the product and would highly recommend to others with either oily or combination skin.

If you have oily skin, this product is for you!

Over time this does a decent job at reducing the overall amount of oil your face produces. There is no scent to this, which is great. When applying, there is no stinging sensation, even on areas with active breakouts; it doesn’t leave you feeling sticky either. This is a bit think, but absorbs into the skin fairly quickly and creates a nice smooth area on your skin to apply makeup over, just like regular primers. In fact, I would suggest wearing this without using a primer.

This has some decent ingredients in it, which is probably why it has a hefty price tag, but I think that it is worth it. Ingredients such as Tea Tree oil and willow bark seem to help as a type of acne combatant while using this regularly.

I would advise staying away from this if you have dry skin as it will more than likely make your situation worse.

I've been using Murad products for many years, and I was thrilled when they started making a day moisturizer that is mattifying and has some SPF. I live in Vancouver, so for much of the year this, combined with makeup, has enough SPF for me. In the summer/when I'm going to be outdoors a lot I also use a real sunscreen with SPF at least 30. Anyway, this stuff is great. It has a nice smooth texture, keeps my skin matte, and helps makeup to stay put.

I have very oily skin, especially in the summer. I tried this after a sephora worker recommended it to me and although this does control my oils somewhat, I still continue to get oily from time to time. It does work but not as amazing as I would want it to but then again I have not found another product that has worked better. This product feels somewhat like glue when you first put it on your face but it goes away within moments.
