OXY Oil Control Moisturizer SPF15 PA++

I didn’t plan to buy this at all. I was actually searching for pore refining product but meehhh...but I did since acne are breaking out on my face for the past few weeks (I blame one out of two products I use last weekend, not sure which though). When we hear of Oxy, we immediately reminded of their pimple banishing products (see OXY 5 and OXY 10 LOL). Well, I bought it with that intention.

And I totally forgot that this product is about OIL CONTROL not PIMPLE CONTROL.

My take on the desciptions;

1. Oil Control - Contains AC. Net to help control excess oil and prevent blemishes.

Definitely control excess oil. I have very oily skin and my face will get oily and sticky even after an hour of facial cleansing. I tried using it the night after I bought it and when I woke up in the morning, sure enough there was oil but not as excessive as before. Not sure about the blemish yet because my blemishes are already there before it can be prevented.

2. Moisturizing - With Sodium Hyaluronate & Aloe Extract to deeply moisturize skin. Oil free formulation for light, non-greasy feel.

Totally non greasy and very moisturizing! I totally love how it feels smooth and matte all over my face after application. And it takes longer for the oil on my face to break out!

3. Pore Refining - With Witch Hazel Extract to refine pores for visibly smooth skin.

Yup. Smooth indeed. Though I personally think I will need some more application before the “pores refining” actually really take place...which I believe I will achieve if I continue to use this product.

4. SPF15 PA++ - Protects skin against UVA & UVB

Actually, I use this product after cleansing my face. After that I use my Olay Daily Advanced Moisturizer. Personally, most skin products nowadays have SPF in them so this doesn’t affect me much. But yea, it never hurts to wear extra protection :)

Pros:

1. I totally love the smooth and matte and soft finish! I keep on patting my face because of this XD.
2. Really does what it’s supposed to do: OIL CONTROL.
3. Pump application! Yeay!

4. Great price for a great product! And it’s affordable too!

5. I think men can use this as well as the texture is light and watery.

Cons:

1. This is my fault by the way. I kept on pumping many times but nothing came out so I thought maybe they put something inside to prevent the liquid from spilling or maybe I have to give the nozzle a push-twist-pull ritual like shower wash products. There wasn’t. I know because I took the nozzle apart and it took me a good 10 minutes to get it back in place. Then I continue to pump like I pumped my bicycle tires when I was little and the liquid finally came out :P (ok, that analogy was a bit...weird...)

2. This product is suitable for people with oily skin. I wouldn’t recommend this to people with dry skin. But you can go ahead and try it out.
