PRODUCT REVIEW: Shiseido Pureness Matifying Moisturizer

0


I have very oil skin. I've tried powder foundation, liquid foundation, and cream foundations and my face still gets oily after an hour or so. Because of this I've resorted to primers, moisturizers, and the like to try to keep the oiliness at bay for as long as possible. My friend Halina (who also suffers from oiliness) recently recommended this product to me to help control my oil and to mattify my skin. 

I tried it for a week and had to return it because it made my skin peel. I usually apply this as a base layer  and then apply concealer and then foundation on top of it. I usually use my fingers to apply my foundation and I found that as I was applying my foundation, my skin would peel. Sorta like when you are exfoliating and bits of dead skin would peel. Normally I wouldn't mind since its my dead skin falling off, but this was excessive. It did nothing for the oiliness and I found my skin was oily after 4-5 hours whether or not I used this product. Since this product did nothing really, I returned it :/

What I plan to try next:


I recently received an email from sephora that showcased this product and I was intrigued. I plan on returning the Shiseido moisturizer to give this product a try instead. It's a liquid foundation that goes on smooth like a liquid foundation and dries down to a velvety texture like powder foundation that is ideal for oily and blemish prone skin.
