Carpe Sweat Absorbing Face Lotion for Oily Skin Control, Mattifying Face Lotion with Moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane, Fragrance Free, 1.35 oz

For context, I’ve included my issue with sweating. I am a home care visiting nurse and there is a particular patient’s apartment that when I go in, it is always very hot. I always come out after my visit dripping with sweat, especially in my face. I also suffer from hot flashes and sweat profusely in any kind of hot weather. I decided to try Carpe sweat absorbing face lotion. I said to myself this will be the ultimate test if I do not sweat after my visit with this patient. I applied it in the morning, and a little touch up right before I went to his home. As usual, the apartment was very hot, but I did not sweat. In fact I did not sweat nearly as I usually do, even with my episodes of hot flashes throughout the day. I was absolutely amazed! This product does exactly what it says. I will definitely be buying this on a regular basis. I have also recommended it to a friend.

Have you ever walked into your work building with dripping sweat from your hair, literally dripping of the tip of your nose and then you run into your boss and have to engage in an embarrassing exchange while trying to pay attention all the while wiping sweat from her face in what you hope isn’t gross and obvious? - this was me nearly anytime the slightest bit of humidity is in the air. I just thought this is my life, unfortunately. BUT this sweat absorbing lotion has changed everything!! It’s a small but mighty bottle! Just a small dab along my hair line after a shower and a bit on my upper lip. NIGHT & DAY. Yes, there is still minimal shine but nothing compared to pre-Carpe.

I bought this after seeing several ads over and over again on social media. The price was much less expensive than their tinted product, so I thought I'd give this a try and, if I liked it/it worked, I'd get the tinted product. Summer in the Central Valley is a killer, and my makeup usually gives up in this heat. This seemed like a perfect product to help with this issue. NOPE. As a primer, I would say it's just ok. As an effective sweat blocking product, it does not work. Like, at all. There is no longevity to this product. I would apply it after using my skin care products and giving it time to dry down. Before the first drop of foundation touched my face, I was already sweating. It seemed as if this product was inducing my skin to sweat. And no, not lightly perspire...SWEAT. I found myself having to keep a small fan pointed at my face while applying makeup because I was sweating it off as quickly as I was applying it. I used this every day for a couple of weeks thinking it just needs time to work. Unfortunately, that did not help, and I simply gave up. It isn't scented, so I suppose that's a plus? I really had high hopes for this product and am bummed that it let me down. Please, don't waste your money on this product.

I don't know if I just sweat more than this thing can handle but I don't feel like it did what it's advertised for. I mean it goes on smoothly and it feels great but if you're perimenopausal like me and have a hot flash in the middle of Walmart and your makeup starts to melt because of it well don't depend on it. And for the price, I'm sorry, it should stop a waterfall . But it works great for other times that's why it got a three instead of a one. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk

This stuff really works! I thought maybe it was a gimmick. Walking in the hot sun with makeup on and this around where I normally sweat, and NO sweat comes out blew my mind! It lasts a long time too! It's so worth the price and it lasts forever because you only need a small amount. Also, no pilling! I love it!

It works well but it does dry to a white powder. So if you accidentally over do it in some spots, you’re gonna be walking around with white powder on your face (hopefully at least not under your nose) LOL it left my skin soft and was easy to apply, but I bought for work and I always chicken out of wearing it through my whole shift because I’m afraid of having white powdery spots, however, after taking a baby wipe to it midday, it still continues to reduce the amount I can feel myself sweating (unless it’s all in my mind) but hey whatever works for me to not be dripping LOL

Okay, menopause is not fun! I'm all hot and sweaty and then I have hot flashes on top of hot flashes! But this stuff really works! I accidentally didn't put any on my upper lip, and that was literally the only place on my face that did get sweaty! Its amazing and I highly recommend the product for everyone!

I don’t understand why, but wore all day three or four times and I didn’t perspire. It is easy to apply and it doesn’t take much to cover face and neck area. You don’t feel any dryness or greasy feel on your skin.
