MoM as a face primer/oil control

[Deleted]

Hi ladies,

I have read so many success stories about using MoM as a face primer to control oil that I decided to try it. DH was doing a CVS run the other day so I asked him to grab a bottle for me while he was there. He came home with Mylanta instead. lol. Does anybody know if this can be used the same way as MoM? TIA!

Hmmm not sure. Mylanta does have magnesium hydroxide in it, which is essentially the same as MOM, but it also has aluminum hydroxide in it . MoM is all magnesium...

I would say no, but I'm not totally sure.

Ugh, I used MoM for a few days until a huge zit surfaced. And for weeks after that, my tzone was oilier than it's ever been. Not fun.
