ETUDE HOUSE Zero Sebum Drying Powder

So since I’m pushing 40 I didn’t even know these existed until my teen daughter told me! Since a course of steroids a few years ago and biologic meds I’ve found my skin has become so oily and shiny. I only wear a little concealer and light foundation powder but would still get this film of oil over my face (I’m Middle Eastern decent so I have naturally more oil in my skin anyway) but this has been amazing at completely removing the oil and shine even during the recent hot weather! I went for the what I believe is the “old style” due to reading reviews and glad I did, it has a kind of mint fragrance which is really refreshing and only smells during application and then fades but the effects last all day. Don’t hesitate to buy, I genuinely didn’t think anything would work but this far exceeded my expectations.

This really keeps oily shine at bay however if you have the slightest hint of dry skin this powder will find it, cling to it and accentuate it massively! It’s great to wear lightly dusted over make up to set it but also lightly dusted on moisturised skin to go more natural and keep the shine away!

It does need touching up more often but there's no powder that magically disappears your sebum but this helps maintain it.

This is a cheap “baking” product. If you just want to bake your face and don’t have really bad skin problems then this product is fine. BUT, if you were wanting to buy this to help with preventing or covering up acne, then this is not the product for you. It just either made the acne worse cuz it clogged the area, or it dried out the skin around the acne and never actually helped alleviate the issue.

One of the only products that can keep me matte through most of the day! It’s so strong that I use my normal powder as usual, then blot this into my t zone and oily areas. Don’t put it on your whole face, you’ll look like a ghost. Great product though for anyone with really oily skin wanting their makeup to last!

Nice powder - comes with a little puff which I put it on with and then blend with my own brush. Easily blendable and doesn’t give a heavy powder finish. Container came covered in sticky labels which looked awful but I managed to get off and clean up stickiness.

Highly recommend: it’s light in weight and make skin so smooth :) love using it:)

Great for oily skin especially in warmer months. I used to purchase this product very regularly off Amazon but for some reason the price has skyrocketed well over even half of what it used to be. Product is great but I can find elsewhere for its original & much fairer price- considering its tiny size.
