I was going to buy this, but if they're discontinuing it, there's no point in getting hooked on something that I won't be able to keep on using! Shame, though, because it looks like the product is a good one for adult acne, and I am sick of OTC crud that either does nothing or makes the problem worse.

I love this product!! I have very sensitive skin and this moisturizer is great-. It has also cleared up my skin and I seen results in 2days. But I must note I use the whole line.......its great!!

For all of you loyal users of this product, be warned that I just received confirmation from the company that they are discontinuing this line! I was told it will be "replaced with a new matte moisturizer from the Angelica line." I'm so disappointed in losing this great product.

For someone who has really bad hormonal acne, semi-oily skin in certain areas and facial scarring, this product is the only moisturizer (after trying dozens of creams) that reduced my acne and scarring. Also, it gives me a soft, glowing, and young look. I almost wish I took before and after photos! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wish it contained more than 1 fl oz, but it's still so worth it!

This is the best moisturizer I have ever purchased. I promise I'm not over exaggerating. I'm a college student with combination skin and very little time to get ready in the morning. Fortunately, this lotion keeps my face matte and very soft, is an awesome primer for makeup, and my pores unclogged- my mild acne has cleared up significantly since I've started using this! awesome product. A bit pricey, but definitely worth the price. Love this!

I have oily skin and after using this product I had some breakouts as well. I must say, this moisturizer isn't very efficient in absorbing an oil on the skin and leaves a shiny mask on the face. Now I started using the immortelle precious fluid instead. it's not perfect, but defenetely better.

I am very sensitive to feeling like I have something on my face. I'd pretty much written off ever being able to tolerate a moisturizer on my face at all. This moisturizer is amazing. I've tried other supposedly light, oil-free moisturizers, I've tried other "mattifying" products, they all bothered me. This one doesn't bother me. Not only that, but I somehow end up feeling less greasy at the end of the day than I would if I weren't wearing it. Highly recommend this product!

Awesome! While the whole Red Rice line is great...this makes all the difference in the world. I have extremely oily skin, but I put this on and it keeps my face fresh and shine free the entire day! It has also cleared up my skin and at the same time is so gentle in moisturizing and preventing any irritating redness or dry patches. Love it!

I love this moisturizer! I don't have a terribly oily skin, and I have been using it as a summer daytime moisturizer and it has done an amazing job in keeping my face hydrated, yet matte - even in a humid climate! It has a great smell, it feels very light on my skin, and it also makes my skin feel smooth.

I love this product from L'Occitane! I got it in the mail 2 weeks ago and ever since I started using it my blemishes are going away! If you go to an L'Occitane Boutique around you ask a sales associate to assist you with your concerns. Sometimes they have mini facials @ selected boutique's. I said I had oily skin and acne & they recommended the Red rice collection and the Immortelle Brightening Instant Exfoliator, with the red rice kit and my face looked as I got a 2hr facial! Love, L'Occitane.

I was excited about the reviews and love L'Occitane products. I have Rosacea, very oily skin that is very sensitive. This did leave my skin far less oily, but then I broke out in tiny pimples. I would rather deal with the oil than the pimples! Everyone's skin is different though. Every other L'Occitane product I have tried has been miraculous.

This is an oily girl's best friend. What a wonderful product. My skin stays matte for well over eight hours. I am not constantly having to blot my face or use a toner. Thank you for such a wonderful product. I will definately be a repeat customer.

I'm 17 and every time after I take shower, the T-zone on my face, esp my nose will get oily very quickly, maybe due to the sudden dryness that stimulates the oil glands to secrete more oil. Also, sometimes when I take a shower in the morning, I will then apply this moisturizer once my face gets dried (not damp dry). Then in the coming hours of the day, my face will stay matte, non-oily, and healthy, velvety to touch! It really works!

This product is amazing! I went from having dry skin to combination skin, and tried several products to treat breakouts; this is the only product that actually prevented it. I have used all the lines of L'Occinate, and find them great, however this has really helped me deal with an ongoing issue. I use it with the Olive Foam Cleanser and the Red Rice Toner. I highly recommend this product. It seems like it does rebalance oil production, as indicated in proven results.

I really like this product. I'm 24, & this moisturizer does a good job of keeping my face smooth. My face no longer feels oily after I use it. My face also stays that way for a good part of the day. The only downside is that it isn't moisturizing enough for me to use in the cold, harsh western NY winters. If you have oily or combination skin, I recommend you try this.

i love this product as well. it keeps my very oily face shine and oil free through out the day. The only complaint i have is, the product is too small and too expensive. I have to move to other similar product from another brand as this one does not last me too long and can't keep up with the price/size.

This product is quite good. Its the only one that doesn't make my face look oily and still moisturizes it. My only complaint is that it comes in a very small size and doesn't last that long if you use it regularly.

I love this Product. But it's such a small bottle for the price. I use the cleanser too, which is great and a little bit lasts me a long time but the face fluid is small compared to the price. I wish they could either reduce the price of the face fluid or make the bottle bigger.

I have tried MANY products to help reduce the shine and greasiness of my skin. I don't want to think about how much money I've spent. This is the ONLY product that truly works. It keeps my skin feeling light and shinefree. I know I sound like an infomercial, but I LOVE this product. The only thing better would be Accutane, a prescription med with a lot of side-effects. I will be a life-long customer because of this product.

It keeps your face matte, while still giving some moisture. If you have really oily skin, you'd want to try this out. I use it when an unexpected break out occurs.
If you're looking for deep moisture, you'll want to look elsewhere.

I have pretty oily skin and I've had pimples since I was ten. Now I am 25 and I still struggle with breakouts and itchy red skin. I was using Qiora for a while and that did work but it was just way too expensive. I bounced around different supermarket moisturizers for a while and they left me feeling greasy. This really works! My face remains 100% oil free for 6 hours and then was a little bit oily after 12. Not only do I look better, I feel better.

I bought this with the Foaming Cleanser and FINALLY I have not had a face full of oil first thing in the morning! It's absolutely wonderful! I hated having to wipe my face off each morning before I could do anything else because of my oily skin. It was terrible! I'm 56 years old and have searched the world over, or so it seemed, for a wonderful product that cleansed and yet didn't leave me feeling oily. Thanks L'Occitane! I am forever grateful.

My face has suffered for years with a very oily and acne prone complexion and most products just dried my face out severely and made my condition worse. This is the very FIRST facial moisturizer I've ever been able to use that doesn't irritate my face and also helps keep it from becoming oily.

After the reading the testimonials I was very excited to use this product. In fact, I tried the whole line of L'Occitane skin care products. I have acne prone, oily and aging skin. Even though I love all the other skin care products, this product did nothing to reduce my oily completion. With in an hour after application, my face just shines as bright as before and feels heavy and oily. Sorry.

Like many of the commenters, I have oily and acne-prone skin and this is the most effective oil controlling product I've come across so far. And I've tested a myriad of products. It worked immediately and keeps shine minimal for at least 5 hours and sometimes more. I am very impressed. Strangely, I found it more effective if I apply it over my foundation instead of under, but it may work differently for others. I recommend it.

I have oily and acne-prone skin. All of the mattifying moisturizers that I had used are only effective for a couple hours after their application. Unlike the others, this face fluid leaves my skin non-oily for almost the whole working hours and it also smells nice, subtle and clean. I do recommend the entire range of L'Occitane Organic Red Rice products for you who have oily or combination skin.

This is the "best" mattifier/moisturizer out in the market. I have used numerous ones with perfect immediate results and then after an hour having an oil production all over my face. This is the only one that does what it says; moisturizes and mattifies the face for a fresh result all day long...well maybe I need a touch up at around 5:00pm...Finally, after searching for years, I have found what makes my skin flawless for a whole day.

I'm a 48 year old man and over the last 35 years or so I've probably tried about every skin line out there. My forehead is an oil factory and I have never found products that work until I tried the sample of Ultra-matte Face Fluid. Most products are temporary at best and often dry the skin. This stuff gets rid of shiny forehead and does not leave the skin tight and dry. It's fabulous; it does what L'Occitane says it will do. I bought the whole line.

I was skeptical before using this product because I've tried so many other mattifiers on the market which do not live up to their claims. Immediately I saw results w/this, visibly reducing oil, but also making my skin feel cleaner and better w/out stripping. The most important feature though is that make-up goes on smoothly over it, unlike many other mattifiers or moisturizers. Skin texture looks better even over time. Love all these rice products!

Love love love this product. Have tried every "mattifier" on the market, this is the only one that leaves my skin soft, smooth and non-greasy. I can't believe my face is still clean feeling and no oil at mid-day. First time ever in 30 years. Thank you!

I loved this product! I took home a sample and did find it had a very nice matte finish. My face felt smooth and fresh all day. I was surprised it worked so nicely on skin because I never really considered it "oily" except on the nose and forehead on a hot day. I was worried it would dry me too much but it was very moisturizing. I do live in Hawaii so perhaps normal to oily is actually what I am. In the mainland, especially during winter, my skin peels, it's so dry.

Not good for oily skin. There was absolutely nothing mattifying about this moisturizer. I have oily skin and 20 minutes after using this my face was shiny and felt greasy. I used it 3 times with the same results. It does however have a very pleasant scent. I wouldn't recommend for oily skin.

This has a marvelous texture, but it contains rice powder which is highly comedogenic* and can cause a rash. Thus, I do not recommend it. However, give it a try, as it may work just fine for you.
* L’Occitane’s research and testing has shown this product to be non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic
