L’Occitane Riz Rice Ultra-Matte Face Fluid
I have finally exhausted my latest moisturiser – L’Occitane Riz Rice Ultra-Matte Face Fluid. Thus, it is finally apt of me to give my honest review of the product.
I first saw this product through an advertorial a couple months back in most of the popular women’s magazine. I was obviously intrigued with claims and the survey L’Occitane had conducted. A couple dozen women claimed that the product has helped rebalance their skin. At once, I was sold! I was looking for something that can help my oily and combination skin you see.
Also, according to the people at L’Occitane, the product not only helps rebalances sebum production on the skin while moisturising. It also tighten pores and help absorb sebum to control that shine. Now, anything that helps control sebum and oil, I am sold! I was determined to purchase the product even before checking out the price. I was desperate!
Hmmm.. Frankly, at 30ml, I think the product is too expensive for its size. I used it sparingly so it can last quite a while. Therefore I was amazed when it lasted longer than expected as I wasn’t scripming.
Although it moisturisers, it does not help much at absorbing excess sebum and controlling it a couple of hours later. I noticed, after two to three hours my skin becomes it oily-self. Immediately applied however, it does absorb and controls sebum. It even makes my applying sunblock simpler.
Another plus point to this popular product is that, because of its natural ingredients, I did not break out at all during my usage. The very mild aromatic smell also isn’t a turn off for me.
But having to pay S$59 for it once, I might consider getting a different moisturiser.
