Good, but not great,
I tried this after trying John Masters Rose & Aloe Hydrating Toning Mist. The toning mist was absolutely amazing and I have gone back to it sense using this.
I’m not sure why the face serum didn’t work as well but I broke out more on my cheeks when using it. It may be because I was touching my face but, breaking out is a big deal for me. I feel I need to add that I have fairly large pores and maybe that also has something to do with it. But, breaking out is my only complaint.
The serum goes a long way. If you put a pea sized amount on, you’ll feel like your well covered. It also dries fairly quickly. I didn’t notice any difference, after using it for around a month, in the way my skin produced (or didn’t produce) oil. I have had issues with combination skin in the past, but, it seems to be fairly normal now. So, no big change there.
It smells a kindof like herbs, which isn’t an ideal for me.
I think if you your skin isn’t too sensitive to being touched, this would be a great product.

Still not sure,
This is my first John Masters product, I’m all about Evan Healy. But anyway, this product seems to maybe work, I think. Here’s why I’m still up in the air about it….It does seem to help control my face from overproducing the “oil slick” effect, sort of, but not completely. My face is matte for a while then slowly the oil starts to reappear, which is probably natural. The whole reason I even bought this product was in hopes to stop my face from the random break outs and bearberry claims to “bleach” or naturally lighten any dark spots. It doesn’t help my breakouts or my dark spots and I still break out in the same way as before. It doesn’t seem to work as a spot treatment either for pimples or darkspots. Having said that, it doesn’t do anything terrible to my ULTRA sensitive skin except for maybe help control the oil production slightly. I bought the product anyway because I couldn’t find any customer reviews on the internet since its a fairly new product from his line. I gave it a try, but I won’t buy it again. I think there’s better out there.

Love it,
I have oily/combination skin and I am always looking for the right moisturizer for my skin. I was using LaRoche Posay’s fluid something and ran out. Saw this at Whole Foods and bought it on a whim and here I am a year later buying another bottle. It worked for my oily, acne prone skin. Did not cause me to break out anymore than my usual breakouts. What I love is that it controsl the oiliness. Instead of the appearance of an oily sheen a couple of hours after washing my face, it keeps my skin matte for 4-6 hours. That’s good enough in my book. I totally dig the “herbal” smell and a pea sized amount covers my whole face. I paid $18 a year ago, so not sure if the price has increased to $24 ot is it just vitamin shoppe’s high price!! Anyway I recommend the product.
