Best lotion for topical acne medication skin users
ELF - PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING THIS PRODUCT!
--------------------------------------
You get 2.2 oz for $8 which isnt bad, with a soft squeeze tube with a pump that works! The pump lets you choose how much you want to pump out via a spring, which I like.
Texture- mousse-like, thick, but spreads nicely. You can feel the kaoilin/silica in it, it feels a bit grainy, but not harsh. I dot small amounts on my face in sections like a primer, then gently rub in. It dissappears. Has a light pink color. Absorbs immediately, does not feel greasy at all -- i think it actually feels like a powdery finish once it absorbs. Not tacky even with wearing it for a few hours.
Scent- strong tea tree oil, almost medicinal. I dont mind it, it goes away immediately. Doesnt seem to bother my skin at all.
So far, I am impressed! This keeps me at least 80% more matte than my other lotion!!! Its that noticeable for me! If you have sensitive skin, and your other lotions make you shiny, try this. I also recommend this to folks who use acne topicals that make them red or shiny (my benzoyl peroxide gel does). This works big time!!! I think the tea tree oil also calms my redness from BP. When I would wear my other lotion and no makeup, my face would get shiny so fast, making my skin look redder and my pores would just stand out. This is like a full 180 difference from it!
I have sensitive skin, I use topical BP and this does not agitate (so far).
ETA: Had to come back after another full day of testing (this time, at work) and OMG--- this stuff you guys! If you suffer from inflammation, sensitive skin, redness from any topical acne medication (I use BP gel every day) -- this stuff is GOLDEN. It seems to mattify just enough, blur just enough, and my redness that I used to have? It's gone. I'm assuming it's the tea tree, or lavender or the willow - but something in this has finally worked it's magic to help return my burned BP skin back to it's natural color! I also suffer from melasma, so any kind of 'redness' I'd get from my topical BP would just make my face look so tan and sunburnt ALL THE TIME.I even had folks comment on how red my face looked when I didn't wear foundation. That bad.
NOT ANYMORE WITH THIS STUFF!! I'm amazed! Even looking in a mirror at work - I cannot believe how pale my skin really is (well, we are coming out of winter....) But that's honestly how red my face used to be from constant (think, 10 years) of BP use -- and greasy lotions used to always emphasize it (even though when on BP you have to use a moisturizer because your poor skin needs it).
I'm sold. Totally sold on this stuff. This has also healed a few breakouts I had around my nose in a matter of 2 days, by reducing the redness and drying them up (but it's not drying like a medication lotion). I'm not kidding. It's gotta be the tea tree oil. I'm buying backups of this!!!!

Wish they had this in a wash!
I love the lotion . Its not an excessive amount of oil control but a great deal of it and it leaves your skin ao soft and smooth. Elf please come out with a face wash with the tea tree! I love your products with this scent and feel!

Perfect for Oily/Acne Prone Skin
I bought this product probably a month ago and I have been loving it since. As a teenager with oily and pimply skin, this and the clarifying drops are an absolute life saver. I have been using both together and have had a significant drop in the number of breakouts i exoerience and a reduction of the oil buildup on my face at the end of the day. I wouldn't reccomend this for dryer skin/flakey skin because it will not hydrate you enough.

Amazing!!!
I have very oily skin. Nothing ever works to stop it. My makeup is sliding off my face no matter what in about 2-3 hours. This stuff literally helps it last ALL DAY. Also I have very sensitive acne prone skin and since I've been using this plus the clarifying drops my skin has totally cleared up! I'm thrilled. Buy this!!! You won't regret it.

Works surprisingly well for my skin!
I have been dealing with such bad oil around my forehead. Even if I’m just sitting around the house doing nothing all morning, my face will darken and I’ll have a ton of oil around early-afternoon. its been a struggle. I’ve been trying different things - nothing seemed to help. I keep having to re-apply face powder all day long. Until I came across ELF+ line at my local Walmart. I enjoy elf brand. I wasn’t even looking for oil controls in ELF selection but it greeted me right away in its cute pink packaging! Since the price is pretty cheap, I grabbed every ELF+ control to try them out. It’s been 2 days now since I’ve used this lotion & I must say it actually does wonders on my face. For one - it’s actually not very moisturizing to me so I ended up having to apply a moisturizer underneath this lotion, but I went & checked my face around early-afternoon to see if my face darkened up with oil again & instead my face looked nice and bright! By mid-afternoon I had some oil but that wasn’t enough for me to have to reapply anything. I didn’t expect this product to get rid of my oil completely as it’s advertised as only a “control” and it really controlled my oil well! I’ll be continuing to use this along with the elf oil-control primer & blotting must! Thank you ELF for basically coming in out of nowhere with just the right product I’ve been searching for!

Great Lotion!
Bought this at the beginning of the year and actually really like it, I have very dry but acne prone skin so just putting regular acne lotion on my face seems to make things worse. I combine this everyday with my Clean and Clear Acne lotion (Two parts elf, one part Clean and Clear) and my skin is doing great, very little acne and hydrated with a very smooth surface. I don't recommend this alone to people with dry skin but definitely to use in combination. Will buy again.

How is this different from the Oil Control Lotion?
I'm answering my own question and pretty cross, too! There is no difference whatsoever - two names for the same product. I ordered the second one, hoping it might be more mattifying than the first (which isn't brilliant for me), but it's exactly the same stuff. I checked the ingredients before I ordered and the second product had more kaolin, so I hoped it would work better. Grrrrrrrrr
