As someone with oily combination skin that's prone to dehydration but still gets greasy, I was instantly drawn to this product - I mean, 'Sebum Controller' in the name? Sign me up! This moisturizer is designed for oily and combination dehydrated skin, promising 8-hour sebum control and long-term improvement in oil production. Being silicone-free was another plus that made me want to give it a try. With all the mask-wearing making my skin even oilier, I found this cream really helped balance my daily oil production without over-drying. It seemed to strike a good balance between oil and moisture control. The product is fragrance-free and didn't cause any irritation at all, which was great. At first application, I wasn't sure if it was really controlling sebum, but after it absorbed, I felt a slight powdery finish that really lived up to its name! It almost felt like applying a light, mattifying primer. If I notice improvements in sebum production and overall skin condition after a month of use, I'll definitely purchase it again and make it a staple in my routine! It claims to have long-term benefits like pore tightening, reduction, and blackhead improvement, but I can't really tell yet. I guess I'll need to use it longer to see those effects. The quantity is a bit on the smaller side, so if you're applying it all over your face, you might go through it pretty quickly, which is a bit of a bummer. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinNov 16, 2022
Reduces sebum production Compared to other products I've used on my T-zone for sebum control, this one keeps oil at bay and reduces shine. Great texture It's not too runny, making it easy to control the amount applied to the T-zone. It's not too thick either, so it's comfortable to use at the serum stage. It has a nice, balanced serum consistency. Convenient applicator The thin, pointed applicator tip eliminates the need to dispense product onto your hand first. It's easy to apply directly to the T-zone. Price point Personally, I wish they'd reduce both the quantity and the price... The amount is quite generous considering I only use it on my T-zone. It's about the same size as an eye cream. When applied to the T-zone after the toner step, it effectively prevents sebum from surfacing. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinNov 15, 2022
This review is based on my experience after receiving the product as a Hwahae Tester. I had been struggling with excess sebum production around my nose and T-zone, making my skin look like I had a dewy makeup look. That's when I decided to try this product. Previously, my face was so oily it felt slippery due to the sebum, but after applying this, it noticeably suppressed oil production and left my skin feeling fresh and matte. It also has anti-wrinkle and brightening benefits, so I applied it generously around my nose, T-zone, under-eyes, and smile lines. It doesn't address the root cause of sebum production. While it prevents excessive oil from surfacing, it doesn't actually reduce the amount being produced. I can feel the sebum gradually building up in my pores, especially on my nose. I do remove it separately, but I think it would have been great if they made a set of two products, with one specifically designed to care for deep within the pores. I noticed that when applied too thickly, it leaves a white powdery residue on the face after some time. Use an appropriate amount. At night, I apply it thinly after my skincare routine. In the morning, I either rinse it off during cleansing and reapply a thin layer, or skip it altogether. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 15, 2022
I was skeptical at first when I heard about this 'powdery' moisturizer, but wow! It's especially amazing when used before makeup!! My skin feels less oily, and I can tell my sebum production has decreased...I'm in love! Highly recommended!! As someone with dry skin, I think it might be challenging to use too much of this during winter For those with dry skin, especially in winter, I'd suggest applying a small amount, focusing on oily areas like the T-zone! - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 12, 2022
As someone with very oily skin, I had high hopes for this product, and it truly lived up to its name by controlling oil and leaving a wonderfully matte finish. It doesn't feel like it contains silicone ingredients. The texture is incredibly hydrating yet leaves a fresh finish, which is why I keep using it! The narrow tube opening makes it easy to control the amount dispensed. I also love that I can apply just a small amount to specific areas as needed. I've been using it consistently lately, and I'm thrilled to feel like it's actually reducing my sebum production! While there aren't many downsides, the small size is a bit disappointing considering the price point. As someone sensitive to scents, I wasn't too fond of the slight vitamin-like smell. After application, it leaves a matte finish, but when you rub it, it can pill a bit like dead skin cells, which can be a bit inconvenient to clean up.
