I have mixed feelings for this product...this product has as many good as bad ingredients in it.

But overall it contains acne-fighting agents, at the same time moisturizing and anti-inflammatory. There is quite a lot of silicone to instantly mattify and minimize the look of pores.

Safety alert: Cautious

Illness
oj_line Triethanolamine is used in cosmetics as a pH balancer. Like all amines, it has the potential for creating nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are readily absorbed through skin and they have been proved to be strong carcinogen. Whether or not the concentrations used in cosmetics should be of concern is still a matter of debate. Better avoid if possible.
Skin irritation
