As a gal with immensely oily skin, I'm always on the lookout for a moisturizer that keeps my skin matte but at the same time locks in hydration. This product is great at the first point, a little iffy with the second. I have not yet attributed it to the product (maybe it's just the dry fall weather?) but after I started using this product, my skin feels much drier throughout the day, which has never happened before. I will continue to keep using this moisturizer, however, because although my face feels slightly tighter the BHA has made my skin feel so soft and smooth that I have to resist touching it throughout the day.
