I was able to use the Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 to test out its ability to mattify my face.

The Test -
On a day I was going to go out to run errands, I chose to test this because it would have been a great chance to see how it would work in our Las Vegas heat. In the morning after I cleansed my face, I squeezed a nickel size amount of moisturizer onto my index and middle finger and primarily dot my t-zone area with the product.
The consistency of the product was similar to sour cream - light with a slight stiffness. It had a slight scent of tea tree. As I massaged the moisturizer into my t-zone area, I noticed that it felt like it thickened onto my skin as if it was sucking out the oil that was currently on my face. It quickly absorbed into my skin and felt light and soft on my skin. Since the rest of my face was normal, I applied a regular spf moisturizer on the outer areas of my face where I didn't apply the murad moisturizer.
For the sake of testing this moisturizer, I did not apply any face makeup except for concealer under my eyes to cover up my darkness and eye bags. On this particular day, the weather was in the hundreds and usually my face oils up within and hour or two but with this Murad moisturizer my face didn't oil up until hour four!
By hour four my face was as oily as it would have been without a mattifying product on my face. For the first three hours my face was matte and my face began to accumulate oil in my t-zone from hour three to four. I used a blotting sheet to soak up the oil on my face and I was ready to go.
After using this moisturizer for the next thirty days or so, this moisturizer became my go to product to deal with my oil concerns especially during our hot weather.
Overall, I really enjoyed using this product because it did what it claimed of mattifying my face and keeping the oiliness at bay for more than 3 hours!
