FORMULA 10.0.6 Seriously Shine Free Mattifying Moisturizer 2.54 fl oz (75ml)

A newly bald man who finally gave up on the scraps of hair, I have been searching for better scalp care. Definitely wanting to find something to take the blinding glare off the dome.This is a winner! Worked miracles. No more shine for almost the entire day.

My forehead is big and shiny.It can be used to blind enemy aircraft, or signal for help from passing ships.This is the only. Only. Easily accessible moisturizer that turns my forehead into just Nick Cave big instead of a weapon used to laser down oncoming traffic.In Georgia, where I am always sweaty, this is a godsend.It also smooths my pores and doesn’t dry out my skin or make my makeup look cakey or chalky like most mattifying moisturizers.

I haven't found a moisturizer or application to date that removes shine for any extended period of time. This one included, it does reduce the shine when applied liberally, but doesn't seem to last. I use it on my high forehead just below my hairline, so it's easy to tell if it's working or not.The scent, like many others, leaves much to be desired. It's rather earthy, if not downright stale. However, that's when I first put it on. I don't see it lingering long, but it does have that stale scent. It doesn't interfere with my cologne, so for shine removal, I could put up with that if the shine would hold off a lot longer.I don't know if my expectations are unreasonable, but I feel that I get about 15 min to an hour without exceptional shine. It helps and is better than no assistance, I just want longer results. It's non-drying to my skin, and I'm sure re-applying it could help, but I'm not prone to carry any makeup or moisturizers with me while working. I still like this one better than the few others I've tried, so I'm not dissatisfied either. I still use it.Will I buy it again?I'll probably try something else first to see if another brand is better. But if this is the best there is, then I'll stick with it. Else, we'll see. Still, I think it's a good product.

I don't know where this little gem of a product has been hiding all my life, but as someone who has oily skin I have always been on the prowl for a product that'll control the oil and leave my skin feeling moisturized yet MATTE. It may have taken me 30 plus years but I found that product due in part to a great sale Amazon was having and after having the item in my shopping list for months I decided to just give it a try.I was shocked when it actually worked. Now, let me clear the air here because we all know that those of us who have oily skin are never going to see a product that is going to perfectly put out the shine long-wear from dawn to dusk. Most products on the market will in fact work, but if you're like me, you find an hour later, maybe a little more that you're blotting your face with paper towels from the restroom - you know those super cheap, stiff yet insanely absorbent kind of packet towels. My oily fellows out there will remember those days in school before blotting sheets or having the smarts to just buy perm rolling papers and get about 5,000 times the amount of the name brand in only a quarter of the cost.Anyway (and yes I'm feeling chatty today so you're welcome 😉) this product is great! I particularly like the smell and don't understand the reviews on here complaining about the smell. To me, It smells sweet yet natural and has a light yet intense in-the-beginning perk to it that for some reason I enjoy. I guess that's lucky for me.I use this product everyday, usually twice a day or also before going out I'll have a quick reapply and apply to my face and my scalp.I shave my head and happen to like the look, but I hate the shiny chrome dome syndrome and while there's plenty of men's products on the shelf to supposedly stop the shine, they don't work. This is where personal care blurs the line to cosmetics and their desperate need in "men's products."This moisturizer is very lightweight and absorbs quickly and easily. It has the consistency of a gel that's thick yet applies smooth and even. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated but not heavy. Directly after application I have a very matte complexion. I've tested the length of time for my own personal results and I probably get three to four hours of 'no shine-no worry' skin care.For me that's a lot of progress so I'm happy with those results, especially because I live in Florida and anyone who lives in Florida or who has been to Florida knows that it is so humid and hot you can drown on your way to the mailbox. So with this humidity there's sweating then mixed with excess sebum production which equals out into disaster, especially if you're going to be wearing makeup on top of it.Formula 10. 0. 6. Is the all-in-one product I've been looking for that for me acts as moisturizer, after shave balm and shine killing victor of the Make me Matte challenge.Does it last all day? No it does not. Did I expect it to last all day? No. I hoped but I did not expect it to and for anyone out there, male or female, who thinks a once daily applied skincare product is going to last 16 to 18 hours with sporting a shine-free forehead is experimenting with substances I call to question.Like makeup, a moisturizer of this caliber that's sought after for these specific results needs to be reapplied and even the label recommends doing so if necessary. Personally, I don't mind the need to reapply and enjoy the way it makes my skin feel. This is definitely one product I'm keeping full stock in my arsenal and that I have to say I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

(young male)I have been using this product for about a week now, and I thought I would give an honest review on the effectiveness of the product. First off, I have VERY oily skin. My large pores love pumping out oil and all the medications under the sun haven't really worked for me. Looking at the reviews of this product (from amazon and other sites) it seemed like a mix bag of reviews. In the end, I thought I would try it because regardless if it didn't remove shine, it was said to be a good moisturizer. At the price, you can try it without wasting to much time/money. Anyway, I put this on my face after my shower each morning and instantly I noticed a more matte like look to my face. Unfortunately, this was short lived. After an hour or two I can see some of the oil shine through. Although it is not as "intense" as it was before. I have yet to find a good mattifying lotion. The closest I got to was OC 8 (not quite a lotion but a mattifying gel). It worked alright but it caused me to break out. Whats really nice about this moisturizer is that it's oil free and it does not clog your pores. It's very hard to find something that says it's oil free and clog free and means it. So with that, it's a pretty good moisturizer. It has not caused me to break out at all (or no more than usual). With my stubborn sensitive skin, that is saying a lot. I don't know what the reviews are saying about the smell. It is pretty odorless to me. Anyway, it didn't work as well as I'd like in terms of matting my skin, but a good moisturizer none the less. Finally, let me just say that my skin is very troublesome and very oily. I have yet to find another person that has oilier or just as oily skin as me. So this product not working isn't much a surprise, but more of a... expectation? Anyway, I hope this review helps.
