Oh, just NO! Thank goodness I just got a sample. This not only made my pores HUGE, which isn't a problem I usually have, it instantly made me break out. My poor forehead got all congested and by...

Perhaps my skin is not as oily as some of the reviewers here but I found this cream to work really well. I did notice that a shine really did develop on parts of my face where I used it sparingly...

This product is a bit hard to use but I liked it overall. If I apply it post-face washing at the beginning of the day, I would say this product works maybe until noon (4-5 hours) before I start to...

I'm gonna be a rebel here and say that I like this stuff! It works great by itself - without makeup. I tried it with liquid foundation and did notice some mattifying properties but they didn't last...

This item was just okay. I'm very oily and live in a very hot/humid climate so I need something extra strength to really work at keeping me matte all day. This just didn't cut it. It wasn't bad...

OK, I guess I'm the exception and not the norm. I do like this product, but I don't have very oily skin. I use it in the summer in lieu of regular moisturizer and it seems to hold off the greasy...

I am a devotee of DHC skincare products, so it pains me to say that this is one of the VERY few items in the DHC line that I can't recommend, based on my experience. I had high hopes for Matte...

I was shocked after using this product, since it didn't work AT ALL. As the review below mentioned, the Velvet Skin coat definitely provided a better matte finish than this. Not only was the...

Didn't work at all on my very oily nose. DHC's Velvet Skin Coat provides a significantly better mattifying effect.

If you have very oily skin, this product will only slightly prolong the inevitable grease slick. I got maybe an hour or two extra of oil absorbtion, but then it all surfaced as greasy as ever. I...

This is the best stuff i have ever used! Keeps my T-Zone shine free for hours on end. Works best if you only use a small amount. Too much can defeat the purpose. Love it!!!

I find this cream average--not bad but not great. I have oily skin, so I was looking forward to a matifying solution, but I don't feel like it makes a huge difference. Can do without.

Yuck. It made my face greasy pretty quickly and did not feel good (I have sensitive oily skin). Save your money!

I have oily/combo skin and got this as a sample to try. It has a heavy feel to it and didn't do anything to help combat the shinies. Put it on at 6:30 this a.m. and it's only 10:30 and I'm...

Yup, just like what the others said: the stuff didn't do a thing to keep my face matte. And I started getting little bit of acne on my forehead and cheeks. Usually those places stay clear unless...

I agree with everyone here..this product sucks! And the bottle is horrible too. This cream feels interesting (sort of dry/cakey) on the face, but it does not help prevent shiny faces. Try MAC...

A dud. Did nothing for my shiny T-zone. Zero. What a disappointment! And I love other DHC products, especially the make-up removing oil and soaps. But the 'matte cream' is a dead loss. You're...

This cream did not keep my skin matte. In fact when applied, it has a slight greasy feel. It did absorb into my skin well but it did not create a matte look or keep oil at bay throughout the day....
