It is a wonderfull cream, which mattifies better than Bioderma Sebium Mat or La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat or Vichy Normaderm, and the price is three times lower than the products which I mentioned. It also has some exfoliating and antiacneic effects, but without drying out, more: it even hydrates skin pretty nicely. I would compare it to the old Pure Zone cream, which was discontinued unfortunately. I use it every second morning under make-up, so it works perfect as a make up base, the foundation even stays better and lasts longer on the top of this cream. The only reason I dont use it daily is that my skin is mature, so I need a richer moisturizer every second day (Vichy Idealia Day Care for mixt skin). :)
