Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This frosted, icy sorbet stands out for its cooling sensation and oil-absorbing power, which experts praise for leaving oily skin matte without peeling. However, reviewers split on whether the denatured alcohol mattifying approach is truly ideal for very oily skin, with concerns it might trigger rebound oil production; those with sensitive, very oily skin might do better with a lighter fluid moisturizer.
