I normally really love Dermalogica, but I will have to agree this is not one of their best products. I have oily t-zone and I normally will see the shine in the afternoon like most. I would wear...

I think this is really fantastic. I use it as a treatment rather than a moisturizer. Apply spraying on the multi-active toner, I apply a thin layer to the oilier areas of my skin (typically the...

I felt it was too drying and irritating for my skin. But it did help control my oil related breakouts.

This was evil on my oily, sensitive, breakout-prone and allergy-prone skin. :( It actually stung a bit and I don't like the smell. I didn't notice much of an oil-control effect, and my skin had a...

The good thing about this product is that it does control oil and shine. However, I think I may be allergic to salicylic acid because every time I have used this I have broken out severely. I do...

I think this product is misunderstood. Some expect it to be a wonderful moisturiser that mattifies, but it's actually a lotion that you apply to oily-prone areas to minimise oil throughout the day....
