Mattifying Acne Moisturizer

4th Update years later: I still use this moisturizer. Some toners tend to feel sticky but I found that the CeraVe toner (my doctor recommended this brand as eczema safe and natural) works well with this moisturizer without feeling heavy, sticky, and doesn't make me flare up! 3rd update: I realized I can't use other moisturizers, Ive gotten too used to this product. I've tried using other products of moisturizers and they felt HEAVY and sticky. This is VERY light weight which I appreciate. That is all☺️ 7 month update: I tend to sweat profusely especially in the summer time around my scalp and forehead. I waited to update to see how to use this best. While using this product i found that using a smaller amount was best. If you tend to sweat a lot like me, use toner then apply a pea - pea and a 1/2 size amount of moisturizer. I still tend to sweat till it runs into my eyes, but using less moisturizer prevented the product from running into my eye while sweating. I use this before putting on my makeup and it doesn't feel caked. I have oily skin prone to break outs and wanted to start using a cream after washing my face due to feeling dry afterwords. I dont have a beauty routine, rarely use makeup, nor informed on beauty trends etc but I wanted to start taking better care of my appearance lately. I compared different pricing for (oily skin/acne control) face moisturizers both online and my local Walgreens and Walmart. Note: the cream I was looking for had to be safe for sensitive skin as I suffer from eczema and remembered Cetaphil was one of the brands my doctor said was more natural and safer. I've been using this for about 2 weeks now. Result: it doesn't burn and no signs of inflammation. It doesn't smell great but it helps A LOT with not feeling dry from washing. It does not mattify my skin as it states and my oilyness is about the same throughout my regular work days. But it did do something when I saw myself in my review mirror when the sun was on my face. I noticed my face shined all over where I placed this cream. I just learned of the glass face look beauty trend and it looks slightly similar to that effect from the use of this cream on my face. I've had compliments on my skin from clients/family which is nice to hear. I usually wash my face with a acne face wash for oily skin, use a toner and a brightening eye serum from my local Ross store, and this cream to "seal" it all in. I admit I tend to touch my face out of habit which causes a pimple to come out. I will be editing my review in the summer as I tend to sweat profusely from my scalp/face and will note if this cream if bothersome or not. Overall it helps with dryness and it helps my skin look nice and shiny (vibrant?) in the sun so I'm happy with the product!

Edit: for those saying it doesnt lather or its too clumpy to apply its because you aren’t emulsifying it. It lathers extremely well when you do. Do you have extremely sensitive skin? Like the type of sensitive where you can't even wash your face EVERY single day because products are too harsh type-sensitive? Or the type of sensitive where facial moisturizers will quite literally break you out? As someone who has deeply struggled with acne and my skin overall since middle school, this is the ONLY product that I completely trust (which pairs beautifully with the JunoSkin Melting Balm) You guys... I NEVER write any reviews simply because there has never been a product where I felt like it needed my energy/time to write a review for. However, this product is a complete game changer. *The picture I uploaded is the most problematic side of skin (my left cheek) post workout and HAVEN'T washed my skin yet, no filter, no makeup, nothing. A little backstory on me, I originally started using Cetaphil's Gentle Daily Cleanser but even THAT was extremely harsh on my skin and would cause me to break out/not clear up any acne or dry my skin out completely. However it was the only product my skin would tolerate whenever I needed to clean my skin. I resorted to even making homemade natural treatments like rice water masks, honey masks, and things of that nature and those still did not help my skin at all. Until this! This product is absolutely insane. AS SOON as you use it, you will literally feel any irregularities/acne minimize instantly on your face and it STAYS like that even if you decide not to wash your skin the next day. I like to put it on in the shower and use it as a "mask" while I wash the rest of my body and then rinse off. I will add it can sometimes be drying if you use it frequently (I have oily dominant- combination skin). I will ride hard for this product as long as they don't change a single thing about it because my skin is that sensitive. This is the clearest my skin has ever been, i know its not perfect but comparing to where I started my inner child is truly so happy 🥹, so I will leave my nighttime routine down below for anyone else who may be able to relate (a little goes a long way for me): - Junoskin no. 10 Cleansing Balm (only when I have makeup on or when my pores are clogged) - Cetaphil Clarifying Acne Cream Cleanser (I personally like to let my skin air dry after use) - Good molecules Discoloration Correcting Face Serum (I honestly have no clue how this product doesn't break me out but it is absolutely amazing) - Good molecules Hyaluronic Acid Supplements: - Biotin and collagen gummies (GREAATTTT for hair skin and nails) - Chlorophyll water (Gives such a distinct glow/color to skin it's insane, it will help with digestion/deodorization too) I hope this review helps someone because like I said, I TRULY never leave reviews lol.

This moisturizer has become hands down my absolute favorite. All others left a greasy residue on my skin and this really does somehow keep the oils at bay. It has a fresh light clean scent that is hardly noticeable at all. It leaves no white cast or sticky tackiness. Overall I find it to be highly effective at keeping my skin looking more clean and less shiny.

I do love this face moisturizer because it keeps my acne clear. The only downfall is my face doesn’t stay moisturized for very long. I also have very sensitive skin and it does not cause any irritation.

Does a great job of lightening and red pimples and clearing up flares. Also goes on easy and does NOT cause face to get oily or over dry.

I've had random hormonal acne near my chin for 3 weeks on and on driving me crazyyyy. My niacinamide serum and hydrocolloid patches alone weren't taking care of the issue - every other day it seems like another small pimple appears 🙃 I usually never use 'acne moisturizer' because even though my skin gets oily it dries out very easily and I didn't want overly dry skin. This Moisturizer cleared up all oiliness from my acne and visibly lightened the remaining marks overnight from the first day! It truly does have a 'mattifying' effect and looks like your wearing a zero pore primer or something! I might be replacing my baby pore filler with this moisturizer honestly. I will say - it has the slightest drying feel on skin immediately after applying. But mainly only on the oily acne areas. This moisturizer has already won me over so it's not a deal breaker. If you're looking at this with hormonal acne wondering if you should try it please do. I recommend this and niacinamide serum from the ordinary to really kill that acne bacteria and appearance fast.

Wouldn't say served the purpose... cetaphil acne prone face wash works better.. this product didnt help my skin and would leave ppat acne scar

Doesn’t cleanse properly. Salicylic acid content is small so doesn’t prevent breakouts

شركة ممتازة
