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.

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.
