Repeat customer
I use Alba products because they are vegan/cruelty free and don't have parabens and phthalates. I like this product because it's not too heavy or too light. Sometimes I mix it with a liquid fake tanner/bronzer (Fakebake). It has a light, fresh, natural scent. Because of the active ingredient, 2% Salicylic Acid, it might sting/tingle a little if your face is sensitive (mine is), or you use other harsh products (like a scrub). But it is gentler than the Deep Clean Astringent (same brand/line), which causes the skin on my fingers to peel from applying it with a cotton ball. Overall, it seems to help manage my complexion. It may be a little drying to use during the winter, so I mix it with a more emollient/heavy moisturizer (like Neutrogena Naturals). If you are looking for a product to keep your skin from producing oil - I am not sure that there is such a thing or that it's even healthy, despite the claims of some companies. Moisturizes tell your skin they don't need to produce too much oil, and the salicylic acid dissolves sebum and prevents pore blockage. By late afternoon, you may still need to blot your t-zone with tissue or powder.I am really surprised that no other reviews mention the crystal-like fibers that are in the lotion. I have been buying this product since it came out from various locations and the consistency is always the same and it obviously doesn't concern me enough to stop buying it, but there are little glass or crystal-like fibers. They average about .5 - 1 cm and they break up easily when you apply the lotion and for the most part disappear. You may not even notice them.

If I could give this 0 stars, I would
Upon getting the product I noticed the small "fiberglass" looking fragments in the moisturizer when I opened it. I see several other people commented about these and one person said they were pieces of willow bark. The smell was also very strong, which I don't care for in a facial product but I decided to use it anyways. It burned. It wasn't a small tingle - it burned so bad I had to wash it off. I'm very disappointed because I use the ACNEdote facial wash all the time and it never burns.. it also contains willow bark and has no "fiberglass" fragments. I got on the Alba Botanica website and wrote a customer inquiry asking what the particles/fragments are the moment I got it. They never responded. I've used a lot of other products from this company and have always been very pleased, but this was a waste of money. I decided to order a daily moisturizer from Bliss. I just don't have the comfort in investing in another moisturizer from this company. Considering changing all my facial/body products over to Bliss after this fiasco.

Testing it out, but not impressed. Is this product a joke?
This product gets three stars from me for now. I have made it about half-way through my first bottle, and have some preliminary comments.Firstly, this product has done nothing to control the amount of oil or shine on my face - AT ALL. It actually seems a bit like a joke that it says "oil control" on the bottle. My skin has seemingly become more oily, and I am somehow breaking out more than usual - go figure.However, my skin is definitely smoother in appearance since adding this twice a day (morning and night) to my skin care regimen.A word to the wise, the smell is rather medical - keep this in mind if you find yourself sensitive to scents, I don't mind it though.Seeing as I purchased two bottles of this product, I will see my trial through to the end of at least the first bottle. Perhaps persistence is key with this moisturizer, I may update my review if my opinions change.

Love this product, contributed to helping my acne!
Have been using this product for almost a year and I absolutely love it. I added it into my skin care regime* and my acne (which was mostly based on my cheeks, sometimes lightly on my forehead) has improved so much that I can say I rarely get any acne anymore (*understand that my improvement is not base solely on this product, but as a part of my regime). I use as my daily moisturizer after the shower and in the morning. I do not use on my eyes though, I don't recommend putting it there. Will continue the use of this product. I also love that it is made of vegetarian ingredients.

This cargo area cover is fantastic! It is quite thick and durable and fits our 2015 Chevy Equinox well. We use the extended flap at the end to cover the fender so that nothing gets scratched when the dogs jump in and out of the cargo area. Although it took awhile to get this, the price was great and well worth the product. The extra pockets do come in handy for toys, water bottle and/or folded water dish. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to protect their cargo area from dogs or even cargo.

Great lotion for sensitive skin
I am in my mid-40s and have sensitive skin that breaks out occasionally. This lightweight lotion does a great job at hydrating my skin without making it oily, and I've noticed since using it my skin is much clearer. Two things to note. I do not find that it controls shine after a few hours...some reviewers complained about that and I agree it fails to do that. Second, my breakouts are pretty mild...just a few bumps and small pimples. Although it made my skin clearer, I don't know if this would help those with severe acne.Tip: hunt around for a good price. I've seen the price on this vary widely between retailers.

This acne lotion works great. The lotion goes on clear and doesn't feel heavy on my face which is great. The only thing is don't put to much on your face if you have dry skin or it will make it worse. Also always ware sunscreen or an spf cream of some short to protect your face when you have the acne lotion on or you can get burned ( sunscrren is usually recommended as a topical when using any acne cream most of the time)
