I have never tried to win the complexion that GOD has blessed me with. The entire idea why I opted to buy this product was because of the main factor that it claimed to be oil-control gel. I have tried using Vicco turmeric/Fair and Lovely/Emami creams as a mere substitute to base, before applying powder. I never liked the idea of using the makeup base for a normal day. All those were strictly for some functions/festivals ..
Now coming to the product, I would say that it was the best bet anyone can have. It controls oil secretion to a great extent and you can do away with shiny face atleast for 6 hours(if not more). This may highly be dependant on skin type but I would say that this stays on for 4 more hours as compared to the other creams that I have mentioned.
Earlier, I have tried all oil control formulas and none has actually worked on my skin. I always used to opt to washing my face in between and going over the light make up all over again. There has been a considerable reduction as well as an increase in feel-good factor using this.
The major plus anyone would agree with me on is its fragrance. It is too good. If you have been using some other cream as a base, you can a well give a try to this. This has suited my skin well and you can test it once before actually applying on yours..
