My skin tends to get really oily especially during the day and I've tried numerous powders to try and keep it in control - however none of them were as good as this one. The powder is extremely fine, white in color - it smells a bit medicinal or herbal, but it isn't unpleasant. The product comes with a makeup pad applicator that is quite nice however I find it a bit unhygenic so I've opted for tapping the product out onto the lid and applying it with a clean brush. My skin remains matte and oil free all day and it keeps my makeup in place. Very good size for carrying around as well. Highly recommend trying it out !
