When I first tried this product I had high hopes for it. I really did, but I soon came to realize that there are better produts out there to absorb excess oil on your face. I tried Sheer Mattness about a year ago and really didn't notice any results. I don't know why I kept using it. I guess it was force of habit. I thought that it might be doing something but my skin remained the same. OILY. My skin was just as oily 2 hours after I applied it on my face. A product I would recomend is Origins Zero Oil. I had hardly any oil on my face by 10 o'clock. That's about the time I become a walking oil slick. Not only is it a great product but it only costs ten bucks. Can't be beat
