My T-zone gets oily and I occasionally get blemishes. My pores aren't too large, but oil tends to build up. Product Introduction: This product is a lightweight emulsion with oil control properties. When applied, it doesn't feel silky, but creates a unique thin layer-like sensation. The texture itself is light, making it easy to use without feeling heavy. How I Use It: As it's an emulsion, it feels too light and not nourishing enough for nighttime use, so I use a different product for my night routine. Do I use it for daytime then? Nope! The unique feeling it leaves makes me not want to apply it to bare skin, and it has that typical European cosmetics scent which I'm not a fan of... So when do I use it if not for day or night? I apply it before makeup! During my skincare routine, I focus on oily areas, almost like using a primer. I always keep my pre-makeup skincare light and dislike using actual primers (my face feels stuffy enough with just makeup, let alone layers of skincare and other products). Using this product as a primer substitute works wonders! The oiliness really bothers me, and there's a noticeable difference between using and not using this product. I always apply it to my T-zone, around the nose, chin, and forehead. For drier areas like around the eyes and mouth, I use a moisturizing cream or essence. This definitely helps control oil production in summer! It's a summer essential, but I use it well in winter too!
ConsIt needs to be well absorbed before applying makeup. If it doesn't pair well with your base products or creams for dry areas, it can cause pilling or flaking. The consistency is quite runny, so the opening and cap can get messy. The typical European cosmetics scent is quite strong and unpleasant.. While I don't like floral scents either, this fragrance is quite intense.
TipFor those who want to use it like me, make sure to pat it in well to avoid any clumping, and never use too much! Using too much will definitely cause your makeup to slide off or flake. It's important to dispense some on the back of your hand, control the amount, and absorb it thinly into your skin! Also, give it some time to adhere to your skin before applying anything else. (I do my skincare after showering, then dry my hair before applying makeup!) If you notice any pilling, it might not be compatible with your other products, so try using even less and only on specific areas where it's needed. Since I only use it for makeup, the amount seems a bit much... I might end up with leftover product before the expiration date, so if there's a smaller size available, go for that! I'll look for a smaller size next time too!

I expected it to absorb oil completely or leave a matte finish, but that's not the case. Surprisingly, it's excellent as a summer emulsion even for slightly dry skin.
ConsThe scent and a bit of pilling? There's a very slight pilling visible.
TipEven if you have dry skin, it's great to use in summer!

Effective in reducing acne. It helps prevent new breakouts, though it's less effective on existing blemishes.
ConsNot effective for dry skin and small bumps. It pills like dead skin cells even when not applied excessively.

It's not greasy at all. The absorption isn't bad. It's convenient to squeeze out of the tube. But that's about it...
ConsIn all my years, I've never seen a facial emulsion pill like dead skin cells until this one. I'm not even using a lot - just a small amount, less than a fingertip's worth. It's truly shocking. It didn't happen when I first used it, but after not using it for a while and trying again, it pills regardless of how much or little I apply. It just comes off like dead skin cells. I don't even have a skin type prone to flaking. The price is also quite high for the amount you get. I absolutely won't be repurchasing this.

ConsIt doesn't appear to have any sebum control properties. I'd rather use the night version, even if it makes my face a bit yellow, as it's much more effective functionally (when I apply it before bed, my face feels softer in the morning). Whether you're wearing makeup or not, if you rub it too much, it can pill.

Really suitable for acne-prone skin! I have sensitive skin with blemishes that pop up every menstrual cycle. While this doesn't completely prevent breakouts, it seems to reduce their frequency.
ConsIt pills... Haha! I really love applying emulsions generously, but this one pills every time I use it... Sigh.

Use it morning and night for 3 days, and they're almost completely calmed down! I always get a pimple or two popping up, so I've tried everything from basic skincare to spot treatments, but this is the ultimate soother and it works fast! It doesn't do much for tiny bumps, but since it's great for sebum control, it reduces how often those little bumps appear!
ConsThe pilling is a real issue... I'm usually pretty good about exfoliating, but regardless, this seems to not play well with some other products. I always use a primer before makeup, but this pills so badly that I can't use it before applying cosmetics. It even pills with some water-based toners. Also, while I can tell it's controlling oil, it's so drying! Afterwards, even creams pill, so I have to carefully choose ones that don't. It's too drying for regular use - my skin feels like it's aging - so I only use it when I have inflamed blemishes!
TipDespite the dryness and pilling, there's nothing better for blemishes!

My skin is combination-dehydrated and prone to blemishes if something doesn't suit it, but this feels like it might be oil-free? It's moisturizing without feeling heavy or suffocating - just perfect. I've been using it daily throughout summer and it's still my go-to favorite!
ConsSince it's designed for acne-prone skin, it can feel a bit tight in colder weather. You can apply a moisturizer afterwards, but if you put makeup on top, it might cause your foundation to separate. I wouldn't recommend it for winter makeup routines.
TipI use this during the day and a night cream in the evening. Pairing it with Cleanance cleansing gel has really helped calm my acne and made my skin super soft. I've become a big fan of Avène after using their mist! When my skin feels dry or in the evening, I finish with CPI cream. It's been great for preventing blemishes.
