It feels like a perfect match for my skin, leaving it soft and fresh. The scent is also delightful! There's honestly nothing to complain about, but if I had to nitpick, maybe the price point? - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSep 24, 2024
As someone with extremely oily skin that's like a grease factory, I use this instead of a moisturizer in the morning. I apply it generously all over my face two or three times, and the difference between using it and not is huge. On days I use it, oil doesn't appear until around 6-7 PM, but without it, the shine starts at 9 AM sharp! The absorption is fantastic - it has a light texture with no oiliness at all. The scent fades quickly, but it's pleasant and not off-putting. I've been using this exclusively for a year or two now. After loving the first couple of bottles and noticing how quickly I went through the small amount, I bought a bunch at once. Back then, I wasn't very budget-conscious, but now I realize it's quite pricey for the amount you get. I wish they'd increase the volume a bit. For your morning routine, focus on hydration for your base layers, then use this oil controller instead of a moisturizer. Whether you have combination dehydrated skin or oily skin, you'll be really satisfied with the results. As someone with super oily skin, I found using a gentle low pH cleanser, layering on lots of hydration 2-3 times, and finishing with just this oil controller was more than enough. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinJan 6, 2024
It didn't seem to cause any major blemishes when applied, and I really like the fragrance I have extremely oily skin, but I couldn't really notice much of a difference, unfortunately - Hwahae UserDry SkinMay 31, 2023
The scent is pleasant, and the lightweight formula applies smoothly, providing a nice hydrating feel. While it may seem a bit sticky during absorption, once fully absorbed, it leaves the skin feeling soft and matte. Although it does reduce oiliness somewhat, the effect doesn't seem to last very long. Even with my dry skin, I notice some oil coming through after a while, which is disappointing. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinNov 22, 2022
It's better than I expected! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I usually get super oily by the end of the workday. I tried this product hoping to avoid that issue. First off, I really love that it's almost fragrance-free. There's a very faint scent, but it's not unpleasant - just a very subtle, typical cosmetic smell. When you're applying it all over your face, having a light fragrance is a big plus! According to the instructions, you're supposed to apply this as the last step in your skincare routine, and the texture is perfect for that! It has a hydrating, water-like consistency that spreads easily. The only downside is that it feels quite sticky right after application, before it's fully absorbed. I was worried that this might not work well as an oil controller because of the stickiness. However, it dries down completely within about 30 seconds, and then you can really feel it controlling oil! So just be careful not to get any dust or lint on your face during those first few moments after application. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinNov 21, 2022
⭐️ Packaging I absolutely loved the tube-type container - it's hygienic and super convenient. The narrow opening made it easy to control the amount, which was really satisfying. ⭐️ Texture and Scent It has a moisturizing cream texture! It's incredibly lightweight and absorbs well! The scent is very subtle, almost unscented, so it felt great applying it to my face without any worries! ⭐️ User Experience It absorbs incredibly fast and true to its name, it balances oil and moisture perfectly! However, as someone with combination dehydrated skin, I felt it absorbed a bit too much oil since I was already using a cream that suited me perfectly! Since some oil is necessary for the upcoming winter 🙂 The expiration date is quite generous, so I'll probably use it frequently next summer to control excess oil! As mentioned in the user experience, it's most effective when used alongside products that provide more moisture - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinSensitive SkinNov 20, 2022
Skin type and current condition: Sensitive and slightly oily combination dehydrated skin. Struggling with milia and frequent blemishes since my skin flared up a year ago. Scent, texture, and application: The scent is strong, which I personally dislike. The texture is opaque and has a hydrating feel rather than being thick. It applies smoothly with a moisturizing sensation and absorbs incredibly fast. Positives: Excellent for improving oiliness. Although it's called a 'sebum controller', I found its strength lies in absorbing excess oil from greasy areas, leaving the skin feeling fresh rather than preventing oil production. Scent: My first impression when applying the product was that the fragrance is too strong. I wonder why they used such an intense scent for a facial product. If they removed the fragrance, which is one of the 20 notable ingredients, it would reduce the aversion to the scent and make it a more skin-friendly product. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I felt dryness in areas other than my T-zone. Also, it felt like there was an extra layer on my face that would pill when rubbed, similar to dead skin cells. Sectional use is better than all-over application: For those with combination dehydrated skin like me who feel dryness in areas other than the T-zone, it's better to use this product only on the T-zone rather than all over the face. Perfect for touch-ups! This product is better suited for your handbag than your vanity. It's great for touch-ups as it helps control oily areas while providing hydration, making it ideal for refreshing your makeup on the go. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 19, 2022
The first photo shows the back of a hand with a rich cream applied, while the second photo shows the back of a hand with Airenol Controller applied on the left side! Although it's hard to capture in the photo, it actually controls oil much better in person. Personally, I liked the scent - it's not overpowering at all and very pleasant. When first applied, it absorbs well with a moisturizing feel, and after absorption, it leaves a soft matte finish. But it's definitely not drying at all!! It's like a hydrated matte finish, if that makes sense? There's no feeling of dryness. I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks, so I like that I can apply it just where needed. On days I don't use it, my skin gets quite shiny, but with this, there's hardly any oiliness.. Highly recommended for those with oily or combination skin! While the product effectiveness is really good, the price point might be a bit burdensome. Since it's moisturizing, I recommend spreading a small amount over a wide area! - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinNov 19, 2022
What I loved was its smooth application and pleasant scent. The tube packaging made it clean and easy to use. The size was perfect for travel, fitting snugly into small bags. After applying, it absorbed quickly, giving a feeling of tightened pores. It really worked hard to control excess oil! The downside is that those with dry skin might find it a bit drying. While it feels moisturizing when you first apply it, due to its oil-controlling properties, you might experience some dryness. Here's a pro tip I discovered while using it: If you have dry skin, apply your regular moisturizer first, then lightly layer a small amount of this product only on oil-prone areas like your nose and forehead. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinNov 18, 2022
My skin type tends to get super oily in the T-zone when I wake up in the morning, and I have combination dehydrated skin. The first night I used this product as the final step in my skincare routine, I was amazed to wake up the next morning with significantly less oil production - it was barely noticeable! The texture is like a transparent gel, slightly thicker than runny mucus. The scent is subtle and not bothersome. It absorbs almost immediately upon application, leaving a slightly tacky finish that makes your skin feel plump and bouncy - like in those ads where they show skin sticking to hands. However, after it's fully absorbed, there's a slight drying sensation. I did have a breakout on my forehead at one point while using it, but I don't think it was due to the product since it was only on my forehead - likely hormonal. I stopped using it for a couple of days, and wow, by the afternoon my face was an oil slick again! I think this product is absolutely fantastic! The only downside is that as it absorbs, my skin feels a bit dry at the finish...! Other than that, it's really great!! I'd recommend applying plenty of hydration before using this product for even better results!
