Moderately mattifying and nourishing
4 out of 5 stars
Moderately mattifying and nourishing
I have very oily skin that’s prone to breakouts from small bumps to blackheads to fully developed pimples to large cysts. I use prescription Clindamyacin lotion, and I use over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide 10% face wash and treatment lotion. I exfoliate 2-3 times per week with a Neutrogrena face scrub. I also use a kaolin mud mask every 1-2 weeks.With that said, I just added Alba Botanica Acne Dote oil control lotion to my regime. I wish the lotion was more mattifying; however, I would say it’s moderately mattifying. It has a smooth feel and doesn’t leave my skin greasy or oily. This is the first facial lotion that feels very smooth yet doesn’t add oil build up on my skin. After application, my skin doesn’t feel dry and feels nourished and soft. The lotion doesn’t cause additional breakouts on my skin. I give this lotion a 4 out of 5 stars because I wish it was more mattifying, yet it offers many benefits that I really like.The active ingredient is 2% salicylic acid —fyi

I am 42 and I have searched for years for a good oil control lotion for my angry, oily, acne-prone, combination skin and this is the best by far. It's lightweight and has a nice light fragrance. It controls my facial oil all day, reducing the amount of dirt and dead skin my pores collect helping to keep my skin clear and smooth and bright. You don't need to use a lot and it goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly, Works great on my newly minted teenage son as well, so now, hopefully, he won't have to struggle with his skin issues the way I have for years.
Everything I have gotten from Alba Bontanica is amazing!

I have very combination skin and am allergic to witch hazel, I am so happy with this product and the entire AcneDote line!!! I have been using the toner for about a year now and had to try to the rest. This is the first time I am dewy without feeling greasy. This moisturizer is definitely not lightweight- I will only be using at nighttime or maybe under makeup. I would love for them to expand this line with daytime/SPF products or body lotion. The products also don’t have a pleasant fragrance, which I am more than willing to sacrifice for the glow- but if you are expecting them to smell like the delicious plumeria shampoo, they don’t. If you have been searching for an affordable, plant based and effective acne treatment- I highly recommend.

Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I've been using this for a couple of weeks now and I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the results. My skin used to be super oily, but over the past few months it has changed more to somewhere between combination and normal. For years I have used 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, but was starting to find it way too drying now that my skin is less oily. After switching to this Alba lotion, right away I noticed the little bumps I get on my forehead going away, and some larger pimples along my jaw and around my nose have dried up faster than usual, and I've had no new major breakouts since I started using it. I can't really speak to how well it controls oil except to say I find it slightly drying, but not as much as benzoyl peroxide.

The only cons are that it does sting a little when you put it on, and I think the smell of the essential oils in it is a little strong. The smell does dissipate pretty quickly, so that's just a minor issue.

I also want to add that I think some reviewers have implied that this is a moisturizer because it is called a "lotion" but it isn't, it is just a creamy skin treatment. It is a little drying so you should definitely follow up with a moisturizer if you don't want your skin to feel tight and overly dry and flakey.

I bought this because I wanted an acne cream that did not dry out my skin, and this did the trick. It does have an herbal / medicinal smell, but it fades and you don't smell like it after you've rubbed it in. It totally works, my acne shrinks visibly using this cream.

I originally bought this as my travel moisturizer since I had too many products and hate checking bags. Perfect size for TSA rules. Kept me from breaking out on travel when I am out of my routine. Ran out of some of my other products and decided to try using it as part of my regular routine and it has made my life so much simpler! I don't have a lot of acne, but I tend to break out from stress or changes to products. This has helped cut down on my occasional acne a lot. I use daily at night, and I can still layer a sleeping pack product over it. I skip it in the morning and use my regular moisturizer and sunblock with no issues. When I travel, I use this morning and night and just put sunblock over it for daytime. It does have a little sting to it if I have just used toner or in areas I might be getting a break out -- poof! -- no break out in that area. Bottle is small, but price is right, and its hard to find in the store/drugstore sometimes, so its great to have on Amazon.

I'm trying to switch to all cruelty free, vegan products so I'm trying different ones out. I use the Alba body lotion and liked it so thought I would try this face lotion. Whenever I used it, it burned my fave. I also broke out after using it for a few days. Once I stopped my breakout went away. I also wasn't a fan of the smell. But just bc it didn't work for me doesn't mean it's a bad product. I did like that it didn't make my face feel greasy or oily.

I use this along with the acnedote face and body scrub and it keeps my skin clear for the most part. It works better than anything I've ever used so I stick to it. I Also use Bevel glycolic pads and a vitamin C serum that complete my skin regimen. I notice when I stop using any other these my skin starts to break out again. Not horribly but enough to where I notice. It has a slightly medicated scent but that's to be expected using salicylic acid products. It's not overwhelming and goes away once absorbed.

I can't praise Alba Botanica products enough. It's become one of my favorite brands. Though I don't have lots of acne, what I do get used to be extremely hard to manage once it appeared. The Alba Botanica line has been FABULOUS; either stopping upcoming zits in their tracks, or eliminating them FAST if they do actually appear. Specific to this lotion, it only takes a pea sized drop to cover my T zone and my skin is adequately moisturized and acne is kept at bay. The lotion takes a bit longer than regular lotion to totally absorb, but after that doesn't leave an oily feel.
