Question
Does this need to be used with a moisturizer or is it one?
I was wondering if this needs to be used with a moisturizer or it just using this after cleansing my face is ok? Also, if a moisturizer is suppose to be used with it should I be using it before or after? Thanks!

The description of this product says that it is a "3-in-1 moisturizer that mattifies immediately, controls oil up to 8 hours, and effectively reduces breakouts" Most of the people that have answered this question seem to assume that if your skin is oily or blemish-prone, you do not need a moisturizer, but that is not the case. All skin types, even oily ones, can be dehydrated, which is why there are oil-free moisturizers on the market. I used to work for a major skin care/cosmetics company, and I have personally used this product on my very oily, blemish-prone, dehydrated skin, and I think it works wonderfully, even in Florida's unforgiving humidity. After cleansing my face and applying any treatments like acne spot treatments, etc. I use this as my moisturizer, SPF and mattifier, then follow with my smashbox oil-free primer and foundation. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with this daily essential!

I dont know why everyone keeps asking if you need a moisturizer with it. Obviously you would only be looking into this product if you have very oily skin. If you dont have oily skin, then murad has plenty of other products to try out. Second, this does have moisturizing ingredients in, the seasme seed oil is really all you need, that is a fine emollient for sealing in moisture. If you have dry skin, then dont bother using this obviously.

I don't know why you would want to use a mattifier and a moisturizer together!!! Even though this mattifys, it does not do it to the extent you would feel dry to the point that you need a moisturizer. If you need a moisturizer, then you should not use a product with a mattifier.

This product says it provides hydration, and has the consistency of a moisturizer. If your skin is very dry, you might require more moisture? My face is somewhat oily, but will become too dry if I skip moisturizer. For me, this is enough! I do not apply another moiturizer.

I have the Dr. Bronner and it fills your pores to create a smooth finish under makeup. This product is an oil inhibitor, so instead of filling pores it tightens them up and keeps them from putting out oil. Your makeup/ powder stays dry and smooth all day and your skin appears tighter with the pores all closed up. Breakouts dry up faster and skin gets clearer quickly.

This is an oil controler. See, what it does is it constricts your pores, making them smaller and limiting the amount of oil your pores produce while it is on. There is no "filling" things in.... this was formulated for people who have OILY skin and need help controlling that oil.

All that to say that I haven't noticed any problems with using it continually. Of course, I DO use an enzyme mask to help keep my skin and pores clean. If you weren't to use proper cleaning habits, that might be more of an issue.

If you use them together, use the SA gel first since it has to soak into the skin. This lays on top of the skin. However, I'd suggest applying the SA gel at night after your evening facial cleaning and then use the mattifier during the morning after washing off what's left of the gel.

I can't tell you what will work for your skin but I've used a number of different treatments/correctors/serums in combination with the Murad Mattifier. My experience has been that it works best if you apply your treatment, let it dry (if necessary), and then apply the Mattifier on top. Once everything is absorbed, go ahead with the rest of your regimen. I don't usually need a moisturizer on top of this so this is the last step for me before makeup. And it's my favorite part!

I don't think you do unless, you want to use the primer to cover up or smooth out any imperfections. I have used the mattifier along with the Bare Escentuals primer for oily skin because I have a lot of acne & acne scars that need to be covered up. My makeup stays on for a long time and I don't breakout or get oily skin. So it can help in humid conditions. I've also used the mattifier by itself when I go to the gym and let me tell you, it doesn't even seem like I broke a sweat. So ask for a free sample at Sephora & I bet you will love it.

Personally, I think the Smashbox combined with Murad would make a sticky mess. I've tried both and they are not good for oily skin. The Smashbox clogged my pores and made me break out. I switched to a powder primer called Mattify! Ultra which has done wonders for soaking up oil. Recently, I tried the Murad Mattifier and it made my skin even oilier! It feels sticky too. Just a warning, would not recommend it.

It's really up to you whether you feel like you need to add a primer over the mattifying lotion. My makeup goes on smoothly without adding a primer, but I think it probably depends on what foundation you're using as to whether or not you'll have good results with or without a primer. I would recommend just testing it with and without a primer to see what works best.

It comes in a 1.7 fl ounce tube. It seems small, but I have had it two weeks, and haven't used that much of it yet, so a little goes a long way.

The amount in the tube is 1.7oz. It doesn't sound like a lot, but a little does go a long way.
