OC8* to Control Shine
Description: Stop caking on powder and embrace your natural glow. OC Eight is a professional mattifying gel that eliminates excess oil on contact without drying the skin. It's the perfect first step before applying makeup because it works with your skin's natural hydration factor, rather than masking it. The lightweight formula is non-irritating, non-drying, and won't clog your pores. It's your skin, only better. 1.6 fl. oz.

Who It's For: Especially useful for oily skin types, to inhibit excess oil production. It's safe enough to use on hypersensitive skin and won't dry out combination skin. For those who suffer from rosacea, this product will help to even out the skin, without irritating it.

Key Ingredients:Acrysorb is a type of acrylates copolymer that is able to hold up to six times its volume in oil. Propylene Glycol increases the smoothness of the product so just a small amount will go a long way.

How to Use:Cleanse skin. Thoroughly dry skin, then apply a small amount all over the face for a true matte finish. Finish with oil-free makeup as desired.

I love my OC8 and use it regularly on my clients for shoots, weddings, competitions and events....its also avail in my studio.  more →
