    This product was okay. I did kind of feel like I was wearing a mask when I put it on. It's not very sheer and does leave you VERY matte at first. It felt okay on my cheeks but on my forehead I felt...

    I have extremely oily skin. This product does a great job at keeping my oily skin at bay.

    Non-oily, simple moisturizer that does not clog my pores and reduces redness. Has a soft, whipped texture that sinks right in. Contains balsam peru which is also the main ingredient in their...

    I agree that the name of this product is not right. It does leave my skin with a matte look, but it is not really oily and it doesnt make my skin feel like the oil is being controlled. This is a...

    OK, I like this product, but I am not convinced that it has the right name. Does it control oil? I'm not sure. I have extremely oily skin, and though there are a few moisturizers out there that...

    Although this moisturizer does go on thick and gloopy and absorbs poorly, I do have to say that it is non-irritating, absorbs oil, and soothes skin. Although I hate to use it under make-up (it...

    I don't really see how this is supposed to be for very oily skin it would be better for more combination skin but it is very thick too intense for oily skin. This also isn't really made for very...

    Normally I don't use products that I have to order and wait for, but after getting a sample of this from the Mario Badescu website, I'm in love! Not only does it give me just the right amount of...

    Only used this once, this morning, and don't plan on using again. My face was shiney within 15 minutes of applying this stuff, which was a shame because I had just used the Buffering lotion which...

    I LOVE this stuff! I have been using the Proactiv skin care kit and even though I have oily skin, it has made my face dry and flaky in some areas. I started to use this moisturizer all over my face...

    I think this is great for irritated but prone to breakout skin. This cream is very soothing and stops red irritated spots overnight. I use this whenever my skin acts up....I am turning to the MB...

    Moisturizers that control oil seem like an oxymoron, but Mario Badescu got it right with this one. I love this moisturizer in the summer, when my oilies tend to come out. It moisturizes the dry...

    This did absolutely nothing for me other than add some unwanted shine to my already shiney face. I got the one with the SPF- which was too low to be useful for me anyway (like something dumb, 17 I...

    This is too rich of a moisturizer for oily skin...so much for oil "control!" Very disappointed.
