Great at clearing up breakouts in oily areas of my face (chin and forehead). I would advise against putting it anywhere that’s even a little dry, though. It will make the dryness worse.

Why are brands still putting Dimethicone in products 🙄
Strangely oily. The first time I used this I thought it worked wonders but over time lost it's effectiveness and I started breaking out again. When I had another recent breakout, it did absolutely nothing and makes me think that this was contributing to my breakouts all along.
