Do most moisturizers break you out and leave you shiny? This one won't. Alba Botanica's vegetarian and cruelty-free formula is so lightweight and absorbs to an all-day matte finish. There's no tight or sticky feeling, either. It contains salicylic acid and willowbark extract to fight pimples so your complexion improves the more you use it.
This cream cleanser instantly wakes up your senses and your face with a refreshing eucalyptus and peppermint kick. It contains AHAs to unclog your pores and encourage cell turnover, which ultimately leads to fewer breakouts. It also contains a special blend of botanicals that have an antiseptic effect on the skin, making it less oily. If you are looking to nix shine and get perfectly clean (never stripped) skin, this is a great first step to your skin care routine.
This is a great alternative for those who don't like the heavy look or feel that powder can leave behind. Murad's MattEffect cushion is great for tossing in your purse and getting rid of shine on the go. The sheer, pinkish liquid immediately melds into skin and mattifies on contact thanks to marshmallow powder and French green clay extract. It feels like nothing and doesn't spoil your foundation.
This primer is so popular it sold out almost immediately after being released at Sephora.com. The unique formula can be worn alone, under makeup or as a spot touch-up to mattify as needed. It contains silica powder and water lily extract to mattify, without overdrying so skin is left soft and comfortably shine-free.
A great matte foundation or CC cream is key to keeping your face shine-free throughout the day. Following in the footsteps of its mattifying primer, PTR's new CC Cream really is a treat for the skin. It contains THD ascorbate (a stable, potent, oil-soluble form of vitamin C) to brighten and even out skin tone. Hyaluronic acid adds moisture and plumps the skin, while vitamin E works as a powerful antioxidant and kaolin clay gives you a smooth, comfortable matte finish. All these benefits plus SPF 30 — what more could you ask for?
