Since I’ve got oily, acne-prone skin, this actually works pretty well for me. It’s super lightweight, absorbs fast, and the matte finish keeps my face from looking greasy. The salicylic acid helps calm breakouts without stinging too much, and it gives just enough hydration so I don’t feel stripped.
Well on the downside, it can leave my dry areas (around mouth/cheeks) a bit tight, and the mattifying effect doesn’t last all day. I still get shine later. Plus, when I first started, I broke out a little (probably purging). Overall though, it’s a good everyday option for oily, acne-prone skin if you don’t expect it to be super hydrating.
