You know, I was thinking, I used to pay $18 for a tube of Clinac OC that couldn't be more than 2 or 3 oz, and that stuff didn't work worth a darn... So I might have to check out the non-SPF version of this, $20 for 4 oz isn't bad in comparison! (I spend my days locked up in my office, considering how pale I am, I'm certainly not getting too much sun! lol)

I would honestly recommend first sampling this product before buying it. I work for B&BW and I was showing a customer this product, I got some on my hand and had an allergic reaction. FYI: SAMPLE FIRST!!!! I have oily skin and I just use Becca's LSC with SPF 20 with Becca powder. This combination works well for me but I still blot and reapply powder a couple of times a day.

I finally got around to trying this product, and it does work pretty well! I've tried several kinds of gels, moisturizers, and makeup that claims to reduce shine and oil production, but this CO Bigelow lotion was the only one that made *any* difference in my super-oily, all the other products were a waste of money!
Normally, my face starts getting shiny about 90 minutes after I first apply mu, and after 3 or 4 hours it is so greasy it looks wet, like I've been sweating! So I always keep tons of blotting papers with me
I bought the non-SPF version of this lotion, and it definitely slowed down the oil production, though it's still not a miracle product. (A miracle product would keep my face matte for a whole work day -- yeah I doubt that will ever happen! lol) After 90 minutes I was still completely matte (a minor miracle in itself), and I was just starting to get shiny after about 3 hours. After that I did continue to get pretty greasy so I definitely need to keep using the blotting sheets, but at least I can use them less often (or at least not start until later in the day... I think the lotion pretty much stopped working by mid-afternoon and I was back to my oily self). But at least this is better than nothing!

WOW! This is a miracle actually, I am so happy you found something that was working for you hunnie! I am almost curious to try it but I find that MAC Oil Control lotion is working for me right now, and too I don't get quite as oily as you do...
I hope this stuff continues to work for you! I have heard a bunch of good things about CO Bigelow!

Yeah, I think I've decided that the moisturizer pretty much quits working in the afternoon, but at least my mu looks good all morning!
And I can always reapply if I'm going out in the evening, and I always have blotting sheets for when I do get shiny!
I just want to find a product that keeps my skin matte ALL day, like the way UDPP makes my e/s last all day... but I'm not sure if that is going to happen!
CO Bigelow also had an oil-control gel for oily skin (the product I bought was for "normal to oily skin") so I don't know if that would work better.... but since the gel wasn't a moisturizer, I was just worried about it drying out my skin too much, making my skin produce more oil to compensate! So I thought a combo moisturizer/oil-control product would be best! But I still might try the other product one day just for fun!
