This vanishing cream doesn't really work for me. I have an oily T-zone and am prone to acne. I bought this to try and control the oiliness on my face and while I don't need to blot my face as often as I did before I still have to blot it at least two or three times during the day. My face is oily when I wake up in the mornings too. It also leaves a residue, not a visible one, but it makes your skin feel almost sticky but it's okay if you apply less. I wanted something that leaves my skin feeling clean and has great oil control. I chose Garnier because it has less nasty products. But sadly it's just not for me.

I used the vanishing cream every day for a month and could see the difference with my marks. It has a fresh smell and does not leave any white cream residue as it is easily absorbed into the skin. Great for oily skin.

It definitely lives up to its name to its claim to mattify skin. You can instantly feel the mattifying effect of the clay as you apply it to your face. My skin was left virtually oil free for the entire day which I was impressed with, the only bit of oil that I experienced at the end of the day was small oil beads on my nose. It reminds me of a sponge in the way it works as it absorbs any oil from surfacing but at the same time doesn’t give your skin a tight uncomfortable feel. I haven’t got very oily skin but I can imagine that for someone that does, this would work perfectly for them. My only complaint about this product is the smell, it has an earthly clay smell about it which doesn’t appeal to me, but once applied after a few minutes, you don’t notice the smell at all.
