Why have you discontinued this moisturiser?
2 years ago
This is the best moisturiser I have ever used and I cant buy it anywhere now. Why is it still on your website if you are no longer selling it and why doesnt anyone at Loreal read the reviews? A huge number of other customers have left similar reviews to this one with no replies!

Why is it no longer available ... at least provide an explanation to the 10s of thousands of happy users . Very much hope to see it back in the shops ASAP . There is no alternative as good, even at 3 times the price

My Favourite Moisturiser

This is the best moisturise, which leaves the skin with a soft matt effect. No other moisturise comes close. Very disappointed that I can't buy it anywhere and would encourage L'Oreal to continue with this much loved product.

Great for shiny baldies like me!
4 years ago
This is really good stuff, I used it some years ago then stopped (for whatever reason) and have recently discovered it again. I’ll admit it might not work for everyone and yes, it does leave a residue in your skin, but guess what fellas, so does make-up!
Anyway, this works, much better than most others of the same type (BullDog for example) so please Lòreal, don’t stop selling it!

Great value for money
5 years ago
Had been needing a new moisturiser as skin was getting very dry with the constant wind/cold. This works a treat - Skin feels noticeably softer, and the anti sebum complex really helps keep my face matt and stops it becoming shiny. Really rate this product, non greasy, smells nice. There was a previous review saying the wrong product was pictured- certainly as of last week what is on the picture is what I recieved!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bought product as in the picture it says it has anti sebum in it.the product that turned up is the anti matte one but different packaging.if L’Oréal have changed this then they need to say and make sure the correct pictures are attached to the products.can’t review the actual product
No, I do not recommend this product.

Liked it
5 years ago
Was hesitant to buy this because it’s a men’s one but skin is skin and it was cheaper than the women’s one claiming to get rid of shine so thought I’d give it a go. It has a gel consistency and smells good. It does reduce shine but is not very moisturising, iv found using another normal moisturiser on a night time and this on a morning before make up works well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I use this as primer!
7 years ago
My partner got this little bottle as part of a Christmas set and due to acne can't use it on his own skin! I've used the post balm shave as primer for a while but like the idea of pure and matte. It lives up to all I expected it to be and smells beautiful, my makeup sits really well on it and leaves my skin smooth!
My makeup can last all night because it has very good coverage.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is excellent for helping your skin stop being shiny and oily, it doesn't take much and your skin doesn't feel abnormal in any way. But i've found this to work well even after shaving for those of us with over-oily skin.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Expensive, but worth every penny. Worried when you head out on the town that your face will be shiny even when its not that hot?? Well, with this stuff, not anymore. I dont use male cosmetics like this normally but this got finished in next to no time when i realised how effective it was!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Still shiny
14 years ago
Well I have tried many mattifying products has I keep looking like a fry chips all day! The only miricle product I have ever found was by Boots Men Expert range, the range was fantastic and it had a Facial Scrub & Anti-shine stick that was the real deal I wish they replaced the bad mattifying lotion on Men n7 that does not work for the anti- shine stick!
Best product for oily skin ever!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Could be better

Let's start by saying that seborrhoea or oily skin cannot be solved, so don't expect it, and don't let anybody fool you. Now, this product it's frankly not bad. it moisturises and creates a thin matte film over your skin. It will last for a few ours depending on how mch sebum your skin generates. Polymer-based, non-greasy, quick absortion, nice fresh smell. It should be cheaper though!
No, I do not recommend this product.
