Worked for a while then stooped
I loved this product at first. It worked amazing. And it still continued to work, but I noticed after a year of using it, my skin began to react to it everytime I put it on. It would redden and become irritated for days. Not sure what changed if anything, but I can't use it anymore. If it works for you, it's an awesome product that really does mattify. I suggest using a brush to apply over the pad they give you though.
