Does this cure a blemish, yes! Will it prevent more from happening, I don’t know. I recommend this product because it cured my boyfriend’s stubbor
...n acne. He used this everyday after washing his face with Clean Clear. I was amazed at how clear and bright his face was afterwards! However, my skin is a lot more sensitive than his and after I used it for a few weeks, my skin was burning from the tea tree and I had to wash my face with cold water, so I stopped. He loves this and has much thicker skin than I do. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to deep cleanse their tired complexion, as well as improve their acne-prone skin! A miracle lotion for acne.

I have very oily, dry and whatever my skin chooses to be that day and I use to break out so much. So much so that I use to wear a lot of make up to co
...ver it up. Anyone who wears make up knows it can cause irritation sometimes. Everyone has different skin and I don’t think I fit into any specific category. Sometimes different foods do help control it, I can say without a doubt for me it is this cream!! It is by far my favourite cream and I bought 3 bottles of it because I always want to be prepared if I need to take one with me on the go and I always have one at home. Sounds silly but if I lost it then I always have a back up! I love this whole line and Honestly if you use it everyday and the scrub twice a week, you should notice a change for the better in your skin. I use it once in the morning after I was my face with the cleanser and then at night before I go to bed. Good Luck to anyone who tries it, give it a chance!

One of the best acne treatments I ever used. Has a refreshing scent and size if fair. Best quality ever however stings sensitive skin. Composition lea
I have been using this for about a week in conjunction with the astringent and I feel that it has been working really well. I have combination skin bu
...t predominately oily and I have definitely noticed a difference in my acne and my oil production, although acne hasn’t completely gone away. My face is significantly less oily. It is very hydrating and doesn’t dry out my skin, although since my skin is very oily it is hard to tell. I think this also works great as a primer; I have the Maybelline mattifying primer and I think this works better! In the morning when I use it I don’t notice any shine, and normally I have A LOT. Overall I am very happy with this!

I’ve been having issues with my skin being too dry from the weather and as a result, overproduction of oil. I picked this up to use on days I’m in
...doors and evenings In not using another mask. It is a light, herbal scented oil free lotion with an almost gel like consistency. A pea sized amount is more than sufficient. I have not used it with makeup but I do not think it would work well unless the product was hydrating. It absorbs well and works for most of the day. I’ve attached an unedited photo taken in natural light of my skin after cleansing with and applying only the lotion to show the mattefying effect.

Absolutely love this product during the summer and even sometimes in winter! Keeps skin matte all day even during highly humid days while outdoors. A
...little tingly (I have sensitive skin) but doesn't last very long. A little bit can go a long way. Love the natural ingredients and I trust this product on my face. Non drying, helps control blemishes, natural, very very affordable! Highly recommended :)

Great product but strong smell. I purchased this moisturizer along with the cleanser and astringent. The products are great, my skin feels amazing and
... I love that it's cruelty-free! My only complaint is with the moisturizer. It has a very strong smell to it. It faded after about 15-20 mins but it was pretty pungent at first. It also felt a little oily after being applied, but I went to bed and woke up to very soft, non-oily skin! Looking forward to seeing how this product continues to work. I'm trying it as an alternative to Proactiv :)

Blossom Cole
The BEST face lotion ever. I don’t have to worry about being oily, too dry, or breaking out throughout the day or week because Alba Botanical Acne D
...ote Oil Control Lotion is oil-free and holds in my moisture at the same time! It doesn’t have a sweet fragrance; it smells like healthy herbs/spray. I like this smell because I’m used to products that are unscented or herbal scents, so this didn’t affect me. It’s 2 ounces and perfect for traveling.

Good. the scent is strong. feels like a good quality. the size fit the description. do not use if you have sensitive skin. I use it with Alba Botanica
..., ACNEdote, Deep Pore Wash and it made my skin peel (I have oily skin) so after using it I put another regular moisturizer and the combination is amazing!

I loved this stuff. Thought it did a great job of controlling any shine but does get drying at times. Helps with acne as well. Light on the skin.

Luca Bennett
I love this moisture so much. This is the only line that actually helps to fight my acne. Usually, when I use a product it works in the beginning but
...halfway through the bottle, they stop working. Not this product. It really helps fight my acne and keep my skin hydrated. It really is great. It is a bit out of my budget so I cannot also always get it but when I do, it lasts for months. I have had it for about 6 months or so now. I do not use it all the time so that helps it last.

Iris Clarke
Love this product. Goes on easily and feels very light. Definitely notice a difference between this and an oil inclusive face product. My skin has fel
...t a lot less oily since I started using it and it hasn't clogged my pores at all. Smells pretty good, fresh but a little clinical. It's not a bad smell by any means and doesn't really stay fragrant long anyway. A little goes a long way, so for this price, the product is great!

Not satisfied. There was no effect at all. After using the product for 3-4 months nothing changed. The areas where the product was applied x2 a day wa
...s still oily. The size matched the description. The scent is neutral. Quality is okay I guess but the product did nothing.
