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

I bought this to replace the Lab Series anti-shine that seems to either have been discontinued or no longer carried on Amazon. It's much cheaper for the quantity versus the old Lab Series, and slightly lighter in how it feels. There's also a slight aloe scent to it, or something like aloe. It isn't pungent though and so far nobody has told me they smell it or anything.Despite being slightly lighter in consistency though, it does still feel a bit "heavy" for lack of a better term, and not as moisturizing in the long run. It gives a bit of a dry feel which may be an effect of the ingredients that make it matte/anti-shine. Putting on a very light amount of your regular moisturizer before this seems to help.I'm not sure if it's that I haven't used the Lab Series in a long time, but this might last just slightly shorter on average (depending on your skin and your environment too). It might be that I'm hanging out in more humid places, who knows.But all around, a great product.

I bought this lotion as I didn't want to pay $60 for the Dr Brandt version I'd gotten a sample of. I read the reviews and saw that a lot of people didn't care for the odor, but figured it was inexpensive enough to take the risk.Honestly, I have no idea what these people are talking about regarding the odor. It simply smells of lotion ingredients, not of a heavy cloying perfume that other manufacturers use to cover up the scent of the ingredients. So I'd call it "fragrance free," instead of "unscented." That said, it's not a bad smell, and it is gone as soon as the lotion dries on my face.The mattifying aspect is wonderful. I put it on under the BB cream I use as a foundation, and my face is shine free for the entire day. Before I started using it, I'd feel greasy in my chin area by the early afternoon, but now I'm not greasy at all throughout the entire day. It also works wonderfully as a makeup primer, and it holds the BB cream onto my face all day long.I highly recommend this product.

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.
