I don't understand why everyone at www.cosmeticconnection.com loves this product. I bought a full-size bottle, but was given some samples to use first in case I didn't like the product. Good thing I tried the samples! You can smell the alcohol as soon as you open the sample or the bottle. It burned my skin so badly I needed to run to wash my face right away. Don't waste your money. Even if this does control shine, it's too expensive (a bottle of rubbing alcohol is under $1!) and will kill your skin.
