However, as I continued using it, I noticed it started to work somewhat. As someone with oily skin, I generally don't like creams with a rich feel, but this one feels very hydrating at first and then absorbs well, leaving a soft, powdery finish without any greasiness. It doesn't feel sticky, so your hair won't stick to your face. The texture is also great - it spreads easily without being too thick, so you don't have to struggle to apply it.
ConsThe scent is really strong, not like a typical men's toner, but more like my dad's cologne. The amount you get for the price is disappointing - it's quite expensive for such a small quantity. For those with combination dehydrated skin, it might not provide enough hydration. While it's good for summer use, I think it might be best to avoid it in winter.
TipIt's also good to apply in thin layers.

A small amount goes a long way! - Hydration It feels powdery on the outside but quite moisturizing! If I feel it's too dry on its own, I layer it with a hydrating cream or serum, and there's no deep dryness - it's fantastic! - Finish It leaves such a velvety finish! My skin usually gets very oily, but with this, there's only a slight sheen. It really controls oil well! I've never experienced blemishes from Bioderma products not suiting my skin. They always work well for me, and I use them regularly. If you're concerned about excess oil, you must try this! However, it might not suit those with super dry skin!
Cons- Price The amount is quite small for the price. Still, the effectiveness is so good that I keep repurchasing it. - Scent It might be hit or miss for some. There's a slight alcohol-like smell. You can get used to it with continued use.
TipThose with oily skin absolutely must try this! There's no pilling, and it keeps oil at bay so well - I'm really enjoying using it.

Surprisingly, it didn't cause any more breakouts, and despite my oily skin, it left my face feeling fresh after application. I'm so satisfied that I'm considering repurchasing it.
ConsWhen I first used this during a major breakout, I was taken aback by the scent. It's a bit like a strong men's toner fragrance. Fortunately, the smell dissipates quickly after application, so it's not off-putting enough to be a deal-breaker.

It's great for summer as it helps control excess oil.
ConsThe scent reminds me of my dad's aftershave, which is a bit off-putting. Apart from that, everything else seems fine.

It leaves your skin feeling incredibly matte and velvety smooth. There's absolutely no stickiness, greasiness, or moistness when you touch your skin.
ConsI'm really curious about what they use to control the oil, because it doesn't seem very good for the skin. It feels like it's forcibly blocking oil production. I wouldn't recommend this for people who don't wear makeup. Also, the smell is awful. It's dizzying, like a strong medicinal scent similar to intense sunscreens. After applying, I noticed slight redness and a few tiny blemishes appeared. It's not significant enough to worry about, but my skin doesn't feel particularly good. I'm back to being a skincare nomad after failing to settle on this product. It feels more like applying BB cream than a moisturizer. And because there's no oil, it makes dead skin cells more noticeable. But if I exfoliate thoroughly before using this, my skin gets too irritated and becomes very flushed.
TipThis is truly only for those with extremely oily skin. If you have dry skin, using this as a base product could lead to cracking, peeling, and even eczema. Even those with combination to oily skin should only use this if oil production is so excessive that your hands feel slippery. Don't avoid oil completely, as some oil actually makes your skin look better. If you're worried about excess oil, instead of choosing products high in hydration and low in oil, opt for ones with a balance of both oil and moisture. Find a texture that's comfortable for you. Texture is surprisingly important. Even with the same ingredients, slight differences in base components can make a big difference. I recommend using only one or two base products. For those using multiple products for different effects, remember that skin isn't a sponge as we might think. Let's use products with ingredients that suit us and comfortable textures, but in moderation.
