Review: DDF oil control, glycolic acid gel
http://www.sephora.com/glycolic-10-exfoliating-oil-control-gel-P1812
I've posted about this product, but not a full review yet. I used this product last Saturday, all the way up to today, skipping 1 day.
I got some bumps from the Garnier BB cream and was having a hard time clearing up my skin. I have an issue with hormonal acne, despite being on the pill - but it isn't as bad as it was when I was a teen (thank God!)
FOR ACNE: It works great! The product has 10% glycolic acid and it tingles a little when you put it on. I've been using it as a primer because it claims to provide oil control. I've used it once a day, skipping 1 day because I started to have some dryness. It went away once I used my Pretika and moisturized that night. I've been using this in conjunction with the Clinique Acne 3 step line. I give this product an A+ for acne control.
FOR OIL CONTROL: It doesn't work as well as the Murad SPF 15 mattefying lotion. I had high hopes, but I will likely still need to use it (plus it has the SPF in it, which the rest of my products don't offer...I think...unless BM matte has SPF in it, I can't remember). But for oil control, I wouldn't buy it PURELY for that purpose. I give it a C since I still need to reapply my mineral veil mid day.
DDF does offer another oil control lotion, but it gets mixed reviews online. I also got a sample of the DDF ultra lite moisturizing dew, with SPF - I haven't tried it yet, but it doesn't claim to help with oil control. But it might be good for the colder months (if I had to guess for my own skin type).
I have not tried MOM yet, and I'm still on the fence about it. Since it is cheap, I may, but I'll wait until we get into the 80s+ to test it.
