Very gritty

Sadly this did not work for me at all. I have very oily skin but this moisturizer has a gritty texture to it and it hurt to apply to my skin. I tried a few times with different methods thinking it was just a weird sensation to get used to but I got pretty red the 3rd time I tried so I ended up stopping its use altogether.

Did not work for my skin

Panoxyl's moisturizers don't agree with my skin, including the Oil Control Moisturizer. I think it's great that this includes SPF30 and can be used as a daily moisturizer, but for me it didn't work as I found the moisturizers irritated my skin and made it feel dry, tingly and slightly burned. This was one of the few times a product has done this for me as I wouldn't consider my skin to be sensitive, soI would recommend spot testing this product first to ensure there aren't any reactions.

Not a fan

Unfortunately, 3 out of 4 products did not work for me.
I’m not entirely sure what in these products doesn’t work for my skin, especially because I don’t have sensitive skin, & very rarely have any reactions to products, and have used acne specific products in the past with no issues.

I stopped using other skincare products, wondering if they didn’t work well together, but unfortunately my skin still was red, felt tingly, dry & irritated when just using these products together.

I tried just using one of the products at the time to see if it was a specific one out of the 4.

As for both the moisturizers, these I was not a fan of. The smell of both is not pleasant, & they left my skin feeling dry. The oil control moisturizer didn’t leave a white cast which is a plus & it doesn’t feel heavy on my skin, which helps with oil control.

I’ve seen great reviews for these products, so I’m assuming my experience is more so from whatever didn’t work with my skin

Horrible texture, feels more like a face scrub

I tried using this product over 2 weeks and had to stop because it was causing micro scratches on my skin. The texture of this moisturizer is that of a grainy oatmeal. While I was using it, I didn't feel any benefits of the oil control. It left my skin with a white cast and a sticky feeling.

Sunscreen more than day cream

This is my first time trying this product. Personally, this wasn’t my favourite. It’s quite thick and is closer to the texture of sunscreen. I also found that it left that sunscreen like residue on my face which I personally don’t really like (probably due to it being a mineral sunscreen). What bothered me most about this product however was the scent. It has almost a slight floral scent, but as I was wearing it out throught the day I would get wafts of it that I didn’t particularly like. I like that this has SPF 30 and is trying to be a multitasking day cream but I find that it’s really closer to just sunscreen than a day moisturizer. This also makes me confused by the marketing of this product. Just as an interesting addition, this is also almost half the size of the evening moisturizer that they sell.

Left my skin dry

This is an AM oil control moisturizer with SPF 30 & contains Zinc Oxide as an Ingredient.
My skin felt super dry after using this product.
It felt more like a primer. Very thin consistency, easily absorbed. Could be used under makeup.
I needed another Moisturizer on top of it.
Will not be purchasing this one.

Felt like sandpaper

The AM oil control moisturizer I was a bit confused on whether this was a moisturizer with SPF or if this was a SPF with moisturizer. The texture of it is exactly like sunscreen. But it has a sandpaper like feel to it when applying to your face. Honestly, it was kinda painful. It also has a slight scent to it which I didn’t enjoy. This was a no for me.

Let down

Received this product to test out and was excited to try it, but didn’t like it. It does moisturize your skin and has spf 30. However, I didn’t like how thick the product was upon initial application and there were some grainy pieces inside. Hated the consistency it felt like I was putting glue on my face. Not sure if I received a defective one or it’s supposed to be like that.

Gritty and irritated my skin

I was really excited to try this product as I love moisturizer/ sunscreen combos. Unfortunately right off the bat I was unsure about the product as it was really gritty. Putting it on my face felt like an exfoliant and it immediately started to feel like it was burning. I used it right after using a panoxyl face wash so I’m not sure if they don’t mix well when used together? I used one other time with a different more neutral wash and it wasn’t as bad but the grit is still really off putting.

Weird texture and white cast

I'm not sure if my product was defective but it had these small beaded chunks in them which wouldn't go away even after rubbing it in. It left me with a white cast and had a weird pollen /flower smell
