Reviews about Moisturizing & Mattifying Sebum Control Emulsion

Good day. Can you please advise if it is appropriate to use this emulsion under a moisturizing night cream? And in the morning under La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo (+) SPF30? Thank you.

I have oily skin type with a few breakouts, and this cream is absolutely perfect for me! It is lightweight, easy to apply, and truly mattifies. I am buying it for the second time.

At first, it was pleasant and I couldn't feel it on my skin. However, personally, it didn't work out for me, so I won't buy it again.

Everything is fine. The cream effectively tackles skincare issues.

The cream does indeed mattify and help with oily skin, but not for as long as desired. There were fewer breakouts after using it.

Pros: mattifies and moisturizes adequately.

Cons: very expensive and quickly runs out, not worth buying.

I love this cream, it's been almost 10 years now. It's an essential product for combination skin.

I really liked it. It didn't cause any breakouts, the foundation applies beautifully, it stays matte for several hours, which I wasn't expecting much considering my oily skin type. I will definitely repurchase it.

Not a bad cream, but the matte effect doesn't last very long. I won't buy it again.

I really liked it, bought it for a teenager, very nice texture, skin has improved.

I have been using this brand for many years because I have problematic skin. I decided to try this cream because I've been struggling with oily skin. It does a decent job of mattifying the skin, BUT it tends to roll off after application, regardless of whether I use it with or without foundation, and regardless of how much I apply. I do not recommend it for those who have breakouts! It will only make them worse and clog the pores. I had completely clear skin for about six months, but as soon as I started using this cream, breakouts began. I gave my skin time to adapt to it, but it didn't get any better. So, draw your own conclusions.. Thank you, Makeup, for the fast delivery!

This cream is very nice. I have combination skin. It definitely mattifies for a couple of hours, but I didn't expect it to last all day. After a while, a slight shine starts to appear. It feels quite pleasant on the skin, absorbs well, doesn't leave a film, and doesn't roll off. The skin feels smooth. I am satisfied. And the price for makeup is pleasant. Thank you!

I have oily skin with enlarged pores and regular breakouts. I have been using this product for three weeks now. After cleansing, my skin feels in need of hydration, but this cream does a great job of moisturizing it. It also effectively nourishes areas with peeling. Unfortunately, it only mattifies my skin for a couple of hours, which is a disappointment. I definitely won't be using it in the spring or summer. I tried a sample of Duo, but it didn't work well for me. It caused a burning sensation that lasted for a couple of days. Breakouts are normal for me due to clogged pores, so it's important for them to clear up. I will keep an eye on this product. It has a gentle, floral scent.

I am purchasing this product for the second time because it works well for me. It hydrates my skin and I really like it. One downside is that it runs out quickly, which may sound absurd, but other creams in the 40ml size do not run out as quickly.

I ordered this product for the second time and the emulsion worked perfectly for me. It provides good moisturization and helps control oily skin. I give it a rating of 5+.

I am curious about the free shipping within Ukraine that is mentioned, even though the customer still has to pay for the delivery anyway?

Also, when placing my order, there was a promotion that included a gift of a miniature La Roche-Posay product from this manufacturer for discounted items. However, I did not receive the gift.

I liked this product because it contains a sebum-regulating component, which is more effective than zinc and works well with oily skin. It also provides good moisture and lasted for a long time. However, I won't buy it again next time; I will try something else.

I do not recommend it. I purchased it not here, but in a pharmacy network.
It was advertised as a good makeup base. Nothing like that. It does not moisturize. It does mattify strongly - that is true, but it excessively dries out and irritates my skin. My skin actually hurts after applying it. I used it for 2 days in the morning and evening, thinking that my skin would adapt, but no, it only got worse. I tried it only on my T-zone, and it is precisely in the area where I applied the cream that it hurts, and even after a day's break, discomfort persists. I read similar reviews, didn't believe them, now I have experienced it myself. The Effaclar series is completely incomprehensible to me. And I also bought the cleansing gel - same symptoms.

I really like it, I use it as a base under foundation for the entire workday (more than 12 hours). It noticeably reduces the shine on my face (I have combination skin with an oily T-zone). I really like it.

I bought this cream based on my friend's recommendation. After using it, my skin feels smooth and has a blurring effect. However, after applying it, my face tingles a bit and during the summer, my face sweats a lot. So, I only use the cream at night.

I have combination skin that is prone to oiliness and breakouts (especially during PMS). I purchased the entire effaclar line for problem skin. I am satisfied with the products. Within two weeks, I have seen significant results. However, after using the cleansing gel and pore-tightening lotion, or the effaclar DUO cream, my skin feels tight and requires moisturization. If I use regular facial moisturizers, it looks oily. This Moisturizing Mattifying Emulsion solved this problem for me. It's truly a discovery for me and a must-have in my cosmetic collection. It eliminates skin tightness and provides a great matte finish without leaving a greasy shine.
Of course, throughout the day (especially in hot weather), my face becomes oily again, so I use thermal water, which also works well for this issue.
I don't know how I managed without these products before. I am very satisfied with the results.

I bought the Effaclar cleansing gel, toner, and Duo cream. It stings. I have slightly oily skin with enlarged pores and some pimples. Well, I thought that this medicinal effect was worth enduring... I have never had an allergy to any products before! It stings and turns red, like inflammation. I got this cream, thinking it would moisturize and reduce inflammation. Oh boy... This one stings too! My skin has never reacted to anything before! My question to the manufacturers is, why do these products sting? Is this normal? I understand that no one will refund the money now, and 1500 is a lot for me, it's a shame.

The cream pleasantly surprised me. It goes perfectly with La Roche cleansing foam.

I have mixed feelings about this cream. It does indeed mattify for approximately 6 hours. However, it tends to roll off easily and unfortunately, it caused me to develop under-the-skin pimples. That's disappointing. On the bright side, the scent of the cream is pleasant and it does fulfill its claimed function.

The product worked perfectly for me. I use it in combination with the Effaclar cleansing gel-mousse and lotion from the same series. I have sensitive, moderately problematic oily skin. The mattifying effect is +/-, but as a product specifically for problematic skin, it is excellent. The skin looks cleaner (the effect is clearly not the same as just using "cleansers"). It also serves as a good base for foundation. For those who claim it rolls off, maybe they just need to use less of it. It lasts me for 3-4 months.

I used it for 4 months, but I won't buy it again. Even on thoroughly cleansed skin, it rolls off, not as much as if you apply it over a cream, but still. If you apply it, do it without any cream underneath, just the emulsion. It mattifies well and did the job. I have oily skin type.

The cream burns and flakes off. Regretfully purchased(((

The cream lasted for a month, even less than that :/

The cream is amazing. I have been using it with breaks. My skin is combination type and I highly recommend it, especially for those with oily facial skin. Additionally, I also purchased the facial cleansing foam and I am very impressed.

I didn't notice any moisturizing effect at all, but it does handle pores. My face burns and itches, it feels like an allergic reaction to it. I don't know what it's related to. I applied it on my cleansed face in the T-zone. I have combination skin. I don't enjoy the sensation it gives, so I'm afraid to use it regularly.

I purchased this cream based on reviews. I really like it, especially under makeup. The only downside is that there is so little of it.

Great cream, absorbs instantly, pleasantly nourishes the skin, and works amazingly as a moisturizer before applying makeup. The foundation goes on perfectly afterwards. I am currently using La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+, applying it at night. I haven't noticed any difference, both creams are equally fantastic.

A worthy mattifying cream. This cream is super for my skin! The texture is slightly oily, but I really like it for skin with slightly enlarged pores!

This is an excellent product that saved me from oily skin in the T-zone (which also dirtied my bangs). It doesn't burn or sting, and it's completely invisible on the skin. I have combination skin and it works perfectly for me. It's worth the money and I will definitely buy it again. It's also my favorite duo + ❤.

The mattifying effect lasts for about 5 minutes and slightly dries out the skin.

This is terrible! I did not expect such an effect. My face burns horribly after using it, and it started turning red, as if I had smeared red pepper on it.
I also experienced unpleasant sensations after using the micellar water from the same series: it feels like it is touching my face, especially when I started removing mascara from my lashes.
As for the claimed moisturizing effect, let's not even talk about it.
Even after washing it off, it continued to burn for a while.
P.S. A dermatologist prescribed all of this to me, so it's supposed to be suitable for my skin type.
Don't ruin your face. I definitely do not recommend it.

The cream is good, non-greasy, and truly mattifies. I had skin with a lot of breakouts, and now I am fighting post-acne, and the cream is suitable for that. I use it as a night cream.

This product didn't work for my very oily and porous skin at all. There is no mattifying effect whatsoever. It can be used as a lightweight moisturizer, but not for the summer. I think it will be more suitable for autumn. I used to really like the mattifying cream from Mary Kay, but they discontinued it. I'm currently still searching for a replacement.

I have a very oily T-zone and during the summer period, it is extremely difficult for me to find any product that doesn't create additional shine on my face. This emulsion has been a lifesaver for me. The texture is light and not sticky, with a pleasant scent. It moisturizes and mattifies wonderfully (lasting for about 3 hours on my skin). I use it together with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo (+) SPF30 micellar foam and toner.

This emulsion is truly very good, it mattifies the skin (although not for long), the texture is liquid and easy to apply. Overall, the Effaclar line is love, I adore the gel from this series and the duo +, it's simply a must-have in my skincare routine. Definitely recommend. ❤️

I have seborrhea around my nose, and this cream helps maintain my skin in a normal condition without the need for special ointments. This is already the third time I am ordering it! It moisturizes excellently, isn't sticky, and is perfect for the summer!

This is an excellent cream that I use for both myself and my husband. It mattifies the skin really well and also helps to minimize pores. I like to use it in combination with the cleansing gel foam for a complete skincare routine.
