OC Eight represents a new level of shine control. Products like powders and blotting papers may only provide temporary shine control and astringents may irritate sensitive skin. OC Eight works mechanically to invisibly hold oil off of your face throughout the day, without causing irritation.
ACRYSORB® is designed to mechanically "trap" facial oil after it comes out of your pores. OC Eight works on contact so it traps oil as fast as it is produced, giving you continuous shine control throughout the day.
Simply wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Apply your daily sunscreen and any medications. When your face is dry to the touch apply a thin layer of OC Eight Mattifying Gel. Finish by applying oil-free make-up as desired.
In a clinical study OC Eight was proven to help make-up maintain that "just applied" look for up to eight hours. By applying OC Eight prior to your facial foundations or powders you will have a more even-toned look through the day.
