At first I thought only acne-prone skin types could enjoy the powder, but was delighted to discover that the formula is suitable for all skin types. Whether your skin is oily, normal, or sensitive, this powder can help eliminate unwanted shine for better-looking skin in no time flat. Unlike some other powders I’ve tried, this blend glided on easily and absorbed quickly without caking. My skin didn’t feel heavy after applying it, but rather lightweight and comfortable.
