This product contains large amount of silicone. Silicone provides an instant but transient smoothing effect to skin and even minimizes the look of pores. But remember it is only temporary. In fact overdose may cause pore clogging and breakouts.
As a moisturizer for oily skin this product used several biological water-binding agents to prevent overmoisturization. The ingredient polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a suspension of microscopic synthetic polymer beads (microspheres) in a vehicle such as bovine collagen, hyaluronic acid or some other colloidal suspending agent. PMMA can be used to improve the skin's contour and reduce depressions in the skin due to scars, injury or lines. They are used to correct facial lines and features that could have been treated with collagen replacement therapy or hyaluronic therapy. Another ingredient hyaluronic acid is a component of skin tissue that is used in skin-care products as a good water-binding agent.
In terms of oil control, the ingredient zinc gluconate is the combination of zinc with glucose (a sugar). It has antibiotics and anti-inflammatory properties and therefore may be effective against acne. However it is one of the last few ingredient. Overall I consider this a light moisturizer for oily skin but would not expect much acne treatment from it.
I find the price hard to justify...for this I took away half star.
