Best Daytime Lotion for Oily Skin
As a person with quite oily skin, who is also acne prone, it has been a journey finding the right day time moisturizer that would still work under my makeup. But this is by far the best day time lotion I've yet to use. Oily skin types need moisture too, if not just as much to balance out the oil pro...

What a Hypocrite, Says for Oily Skin but CAUSES Oily Skin!
I was recommended this Mario brand by a Ultra Skincare expert. I picked out this moisturizer because it claimed to be for "Oily Skin" & i was having trouble with my pores again due to hormonal acne & oil build up from bacteria. It claims "Soothing Botanical & healing seaweed make this oil free, idea...

the product was thick, sticky, didn't absorb into the skin very well and also didn't do anything to control my oil. i'm just gonna stick to their vitamin c serum - works way better at giving me what i wanted out of this product.
Best oil control product I've ever tried!
Describe Yourself Beauty Conscious
I was looking for a product or two to control shine. At first I was in the mario badescu section to pick up a bottle of drying lotion, until a skincare specialist came and helped me. She suggested this for my oily skin after I told her I got oily a ton. I've used it several times now, including earlier before I applied makeup. I couldn't believe how well this worked on me. Most of the time my skin is oily from being dehydrated, so this helps hydrate my skin, therefore rebalancing oil production, also controlled my shine almost all day, besides me sweating a bit cause it's starting to get hot here in Phoenix. Other than that, as well as using wet n wilds matte photofocus primer, my foundation stayed and slayed all day! I'm glad that it also doesn't pill up and flake off, as most "shine control" products do. Mario Badescu is totally honest about what this product claimed to do. It's a miracle for my skin!
This stuff is great

I've been looking for a moisturizer for my oily and sensitive skin for ages. I also have cystic acne, so I use a topical cream that causes my skin to become scaly. After a couple days I could already see improvements in both the dry patches as well as the oil reduction on my t-zone and chin. I don't find that the product has a bad smell. It just smells like unscented lotion to me. The first time I used the product it came out a little runny, but I just give it 1-2 shakes before use and the consistency is like any other moisturizer

The employee at Ulta suggested this to me for oily skin and it had the opposite effect for me. It was heavy and didn't absorb for a long time. It just made my skin feel even more oily. It may work for someone else but not for me.
Excepted More Out Of This Product
This is my first time using this moisturizer from this line of products . I was disappointed as it had a watery consistency , didn't provide much moisture and caused new blemishes after two uses . I have acne prone sensitive skin and this personally isn't for me . This also has a perfumed scent to it and shouldn't be put near the eye area as it burns .

I am a 55 years old woman. I have had oily skin all my life. Right now I am looking for a moisturizer suitable for oily skin, but that treat wrinkles, dark spots and a more mature skin. Something that provides moisture, firmness and elasticity to my face. What would you recomend?

- Q
I have very oily, acne prone skin. I'm in my mid 30s and looking for a moisturizer that will help to minimize signs of aging and also mattify. I currently use the enzyme cleansing gel and special cucumber lotion day and night. I use the glycolic foaming cleanser 3 times a week, and the aloe herbs and rosewater facial spray at night only. What's the best moisturizer to add to my regimen for use during the day? I've already tried the oil free moisturizer with spf and I didn't like it because it did not mattify.
- Asked by Ally
