My nose is particularly prone to oiliness. Especially in hot weather, I hate the sticky feeling I get when I wake up in the morning, so I was attracted to the "oil control" feature and bought this product. It's an all-in-one product, but I've been told it can be used in place of lotion or cream, so I've been applying it only to my nose after applying lotion. Honestly, I haven't noticed much of a difference. However, I wondered if it was because I was applying lotion, so on the day I applied this product alone to my nose, I felt like the stickiness was less than when I applied lotion. (Maybe it was because it was a cool day.) It's been really hot lately in the summer, so maybe it's just not controlling it... I wonder if it will change once it gets colder. Aside from oil control, the texture is a light blue, moist gel that feels light and comfortable. It has a slight tingling sensation. The scent has a unique, refreshing scent. I don't dislike it, but it surprised me at first. Other than that, I'm glad it comes with a spatula. Since I only use it on my nose, it doesn't seem like it will go away anytime soon, so I'll keep using it patiently and see how it goes.
It's smooth and feels great to use. I used to be bothered by the shine in the afternoon, but now it's not so noticeable anymore. I haven't changed my other cosmetics, so I think this is what worked. I didn't notice much effect on my pores, but I like how light it feels to use, so I'm buying it again!
My face has become younger. I have oily skin and have had shiny skin since I was a child, which has always been a self-conscious thing for me, so this is a big help. My acne has also decreased significantly.
My nose and forehead tend to get oily, but using this has helped reduce oil production. I used to use other skincare products at night and wake up in the morning with oily skin on my nose, but when I apply this at the end of my skincare routine, I feel like my nose is less oily when I wake up in the morning. It's also nice that it doesn't feel too sticky. I still get a little oily, but I'm happy that it's better than before. I'll continue to use it. The scent is quite strong, so some people may not like it, so I recommend trying the tester first. I stopped noticing it after using it.
It's not an all-in-one product, so I use it at the end of my skincare routine. It doesn't leave any residue when I apply makeup, and it's comfortable to use. However, the scent is too strong for my liking. If it was odorless or had a weaker scent, I would have repurchased it.
