After cleansing in the morning, apply sparingly to areas prone to excess oil production or breakouts. If needed, follow with Oil Control Lotion or prescribed Dermalogica Moisturizer. For best skin clearing results, use daily in the morning, and use Overnight Clearing Gel in the evening.
Makes a great pre-make-up treatment that helps minimize oil and smooth fine lines.

I live this way this product makes my skin look and feel flawless.
I love love love the clearing mattifier! I don't go a day without using it. During the week it's great for under makeup. It keeps me matte and shine free all day. It's also great on the weekends to wear alone to keep my makeup free face fresh and shine free while running around.
This product irritated my skin to the extreme. Horrible.
This product has been the only thing that keeps my makeup looking fresh all day long. I am normally blotting by the afternoon because my face is so oily. But this product allows my makeup to last longer and helps keep my face clear of acne.
Really does what it says it is going to do. Wish it had a little less acid in it because it gets to be too much after a few days especially on the sensitive sides of my nose. Really unfortunate cause it is a joy to put on (so smooth) and really keeps you matte. If you have really bad blackheads maybe not so bad.
I live in the most humid place on earth and I had the world's oiliest skin! I started using this every morning after cleansing with the dermal clay cleanser and now my skin is oil free! My make up doesn't slide 5 minutes after I put it on any more and I can actually touch my face through out the day and not have grease all over my hands. So happy with this stuff!
I liked this, but with all of the other acne product, I don't need this as much.
After I wash my face I put this all over it and then put my powder foundation on top it keeps my skin clear and holds my makeup in place all day
This works! I have SUPER oily skin and when I put it on, the shine goes away immediately!
I have been using this every morning and night for about two months, and it has drastically reduced the severity and duration of occasional hormonal acne around my jawline. I am surprised at how long the product has lasted me, considering the itsy bitsy size of the tube is. It goes on nicely and smoothly.
