I’ve only been using this for a few days, so far I haven’t gotten any new break outs or irritation besides the hormonal cystic acne that I get monthly.

I use a clarifying toner, BHA Skin Returning A-Sol, essence, followed by this emulsion and this was moisturising enough for my oily skin during the day if I’m staying in doors.

Its light, non greasy/tacky and serum like in consistency. It finished with a light sheen on my face, but that may be caused by other products that I layered under it. On my bare hand it finished matte. It gives a cooling sensation when applied and feels like a gel more than a cream on the skin.

2 pumps is all you need and a little goes a long way.

It smells fresh, a bit lemony? and a slight hint of chemicals… along the same line as the BHA Skin Returning A-Sol. It’s not overpowering and does not linger for long, the scent dissipates in ~5 minutes.

After 3 hours of wear my face is only slightly shiner, which is fantastic for me because I have naturally oily skin.

On the Box it says:

Conclusion:

I like this emulsion. This product delivers on most of its promises. It reduces sebum and smooths the skin, it slightly blurred my skin although it didn’t really fill in the pores. I found that I was less shiner than usual and my skin felt so soft and supple after. I am also using COSRX: BHA, AHA, Returning A-Sol in conjunction.

UPDATE: I am loving this product it feels like a day occlusive and is perfect for my fellow Oily skin sisters!.
