Effaclar active matte moisturiser

i loved this moisturiser! though it dosent seem really moisturising. but i like the matte feeling after applying and also it controls my oil pretty well. i used to wake up with an oil field but not anymore after using this. my t zone is still oily as usual but my cheeks are no longer oily. one thing i dont like about this is the 'cucumber' like smell... i hate cucumbers anyway...but somehow got used to it. i also realised that it seems to help control my clogged pores too. i got less clogs after using this. maybe because it controls the oil production thats why.

however, when i went to facial one month after using this day and night, my facialist said my whole face is full of tiny blackheads i used to have lesser blackheads but bigger ones. those that i can see and can feel but then after using this, i feel my skin is smooth and soft but then the number of blackheads seems to be much more than before according to my facialist... tiny but alot. i wonder if this is consider as improvement on my skin condition...

Anyway not using it anymore as i moved to tokyo and its not easily available here and my skin is not as oily as when i was living in taipei. i cant seem to get the ingredient list. it seems to have been discontinued.. such a pity since this is such a great product!
