Lightweight and mattifying

I received a free sample of this in the mail from L'oreal. Because it claims to be 72 hour moisturizing, I was afraid that it would leave my face feeling moist and greasy, and that it would be thick to apply. I was wrong about all of these counts. It was a lightweight formula, more of a gel than a facial lotion or cream. It applied matte on my oily skin, and smells slightly earthy due to the aloe vera. However, I wouldn't quite claim that it's a 72 hour formula because if anything, I found that it was slightly drying. Not that this is bad, because with very oily skin you want something that leaves your face not feeling oily, and that's what I like about this formula.

Mattifying moisturizer

This moisturizer is mattifying and the moisture does last all day. The texture is a little odd as it is like a thin gel so a little goes a long way. I still prefer to have my face moisturizer be a traditional lotion but if I were to stray to something new, this would certainly be in the running.
