MOM vs Murad mattifier

[jamlsull]

I posted this the other day just as the switch happened over there & I think it got eaten!

I need a little extra in the summer so my skin doesn't get oily. I remember reading about using MOM & also the Murad stuff being helpful.

Anyone give me feedback for either or both? Thanks!

MOM is a miracle!! I love it. I'm not using it daily yet, but will start when it gets as hot as hell here in Atlanta.

If you are going to use it daily, you probably want to cut it with some water because it works so well that it could actually dry your skin out. A girl on the Nest board said she used MOM for a long time with 50% MOM and 50% water and it worked great like that.

How do you apply it? If you mix with water do you mix it in a seperate container or each time? I may try this first since it's much cheaper than the Murad, but I do love Murad products!

I have a little travel toiletry bottle from Target that I plan to use to mix MOM with water. I'm going to start with 2/3 MOM and 1/3 water, but if that seems drying, then I'll try 50/50. I put it on a cotton ball and dab it onto my t-zone. It dries in a few seconds, and some spots are a bit chalky, so I use a clean cotton ball to blend that out.

My skin must be oily as hell because don't need to cut the MOM with water. I'm really happy about how well it works.

I don't cut it with water either. It works well, but I still need to blot the oil during the day, but its later in the day than usual haha. Not a miracle worker, but it does help!

Okay, I have a REALLY dumb question. I bought a bottle of MOM based on what I read on F&B, then realized when I got home that it was cherry flavored. Can I still use it, or do I need to go get a bottle of plain?
