I've been using this product for about a week now and it actually does control my oily skin. In the beginning it made me go to the restroom quite often :o but it kind of went away after about the...

I use the Phillips regular MoM. Since the bottle's so big, I decant into a small squeeze bottle for daily usage. This is another HG for me. Nothing ever keeps my combo skin as matte as this product...

Tried this based on a newspaper article. It's really versatile; you can use it as a mask, a spot treatment or a toner. My favorite way is to use it as a toner. I put on a thin layer w/a cotton ball...

A few months ago I picked up a generic brand bottle of this and ended throwing it away because it did absolutely nothing besides leave white streaks on my face. A few weeks ago I decided to give it...

Ummm, this made me poop a lot. Seriously, that sounds gross, but it IS a laxative. Think about how many pores you have on your face. Not a good idea. Although it did help with oil, the white...

I have *extremely* oily skin and MoM is a godsend. I mix equal parts MoM with distilled water, and store in an air-tight squeeze bottle. I cleanse my face, apply anti-redness creme, oil control...

I really wish this didn't make me break out with huge, disgusting cystic zits (which I usually don't get), because it DOES cut down on oiliness like no tomorrow. But I just can't use it....

Used milk of magnesia this morning as a primer-put it on a cotton ball, wiped it all over my face and then wiped it off. I could feel and see the pores tighten up! Amazing! I then put on my makeup...

Well, this did help with the oil, but it made my make-up look horrible, which defeats the whole purpose. My make-up was blotchy, uneven, and didn't cover well. I tried this stuff for at least a...

This works. It reduces the oiliness, but if you're extremely shiny like I am, you will still see it coming back after a few hours. Completely shine free all day? No. That's a bit much to ask...

I have really oily skin and live in a humid/hot area. I've tried Smashbox and BE primers, and while I like they way they make my face soft, I don't think they control oil very well. Then I...

It is ok as a primer. Kept my oil at a small level throughout the hot day. There was some shine after a couple of hours. BUT I'd rather wear this than wear nothing at all.
