I used it first, but now it's mainly my daughter, who is in middle school. She's used a variety of products, including Chacott's Matte, &be's Powder, and Ettusais' Oil Block, and while some are better at controlling sebum than this one, she says this is the one she can use with the most confidence. She says it can be removed without makeup remover, doesn't clog pores, and is less likely to cause acne. The appearance remains almost the same after application, and there's almost no corrective effect. It feels smooth to the touch. It controls sebum moderately, but doesn't dry out the skin, so I think it's gentle on the skin. I use it as a night powder. It's great that it's refillable and comes with a puff. I've almost given it away.
