Review of Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product from the Murad site, not Amazon. I was extremely skeptical because I've tried quite a few products that say they cut back on oil, prevent it, etc. I was also worried about wasting so much money on a product that might not work at all. After looking at tons and tons of reviews all over the internet, I decided to give it a try. I applied it (in sections, because like someone else said, it's a little thick and doesn't spread far) one morning before classes. Generally, by the end of my first class, oil is already obvious on my face. However, the day I used this, there was *no* sign of oil. Now... I was and still am extremely excited about this because when I say my face gets oily, I mean it. It's disgusting. But you couldn't see any shine throughout my *entire* day at school, which is unheard of for me. I've been using the product for about five days now and I'm in love with it.

On the bottle it says to apply an even coat on your entire face, but I've just been putting it on my T-Zone, since that's where I get the most oil. For the price, it seems like it will last quite a while, but I'm not *entirely* sure about that right now. Especially for those who use it every day and do put it on their entire face, it might become pretty spendy - which so far is the only drawback.

I'd also like to add that it doesn't dry your face out at all. I don't know what, exactly, the science behind this product is, because it doesn't seem to suck up all the oil - which might bother some people - it just mattifies it and cuts it back *somewhat*. When I touched my nose area and between my eyes, they still felt somewhat oily, but you couldn't *see* anything. I asked my sister (she wouldn't lie to me), and then double-checked in a mirror to be sure, and there was no visible oil. I'm kind of 50/50 on this aspect. For those of us who have oily skin, it would be nice to lessen the amount of it, definitely. But on the other hand, if we use products that do dry our faces out, eventually we'll produce even more oil than usual. Which... no, thanks. All in all, I absolutely recommend this product. Tons of oil is gross and embarrassing, but I really do not have to worry about that anymore.

Oh! They don't test on animals, either! I've been staying away from products that do lately, so to find something that works this excellently *and* is cruelty free is absolutely amazing, in my opinion.
