Best Daytime Lotion for Oily SkinAs 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 production. I apply after toning and wait until it is completely absorbed into my skin before I apply my makeup. But make sure you shake up the bottle so that it comes out evenly everytime and not just watery. It evens out my texture, and almost rubberizes the surface which, for me, doubles as a foundation primer. Not only is my skin being nourished, but it's taken the place of another step in my skin care/ face routine. That's right, I apply my foundation right over it and it doesn't cause it to break up at all. So rare for any moisturizer. I've used the Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturizer and it caused my foundation to break up and made me look even more greasy after a few hours. (Not cute) I don't know how this moisturizer does it, but it also keeps me semi-matte for atleast a few hours. Definitely an addition to my "holy grail" products. You did it again, Mario.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, ideal for acne, sensitive & oil free" Which is all of me. "Controls irritation, provides natural protection against oil loss". Here's the kicker, it made my entire face greasy, causing my face to produce more oil which then made my what was then a small amount of blackheads & pore size into a colony of blackheads with broken pores. I now have blackheads on my forehead where i've never in my 14 years of battling acne had before. The moisturizer is the same texture as sunscreen & doesn't absorb well at all. You can accidentally apply too much without knowing it. With other moisturizers you can apply a great deal of product & nothing bad happens. With this even the slightest amount can leave your skin feeling heavy in only a couple of hours with white streaks. Since i have acne, this product surprisingly doesn't moisturize my acne dry patches. I only wear my acne cream at night so i have this product on in the day & night & both times my face will have dry spots. It's honestly confusing when you see massive oil build up but then dry patches around my chin and mouth. My skin feels gross, heavy even under makeup. If you're wondering about my skin it's Moderate/Severe Hormonal Acne, I'm 24 years old, Combo, Sensitive, oily, dry skin & i've been battling acne for 14 years of my life. The positive note is that my whiteheads are gone but dark spots plus the blackheads forming plus the open pore size has aged my face so much that i started crying when only a month ago my face was healthier than average. Only reason i stuck with this product for a month+ & used it daily was because products tend to take awhile before seeing results. This is a Big Fail in the Mario line. Don't buy!

Turns oily skin dry and irritated

2022-03-30

My skin went from oily to the complete opposite. It didn't create a barrier. It sucked out the oil from my face making it dry. My face just feels uncomfortable. I've had it for over a month and after a few weeks, my face is irritated and I just feel uncomfortable.

If you have oily skin through out the day, this product with literally wipe your face matte. Don't believe me, try it yourself. It's truly fascinating. Thank you Mario/ Ulta for stealing away my oil. LOL! < 3

Not What I Expected

2021-11-15

I had this product in my favorites to try based on the description and the mixed reviews. I'm from Florida, but while in Ohio, ran out of another moisturizer I use that Ulta was out of in stores and online. I decided I'll give this a try. I want to believe maybe the cooler weather in Ohio but it would leave a white film that I had to keep trying to rub in as I'm brown skinned and then once out my face seemed tight dry. It did keep my oily shine at bay but I wonder at what cost to drain my skin of some moisture. I returned it once I got back home. This is the second Mario Badescu product to not work so possibly just not for me.

Heavy Cream

2021-09-19

It has a very heavy, thick texture and did not control my oiliness. Also, the bottle gets clogged.
