Review: Ahava Matifying Moisturizer for Oily Skin

I'm always in the look-out for a good moisturizer for my oily/combination skin, especially during the summer months where my face tends to get really oily because of the heat. So just last month, I was in the mall looking for that product that could solve my skin problems. I've always been loyal to my Myra E lotion (vita white), and while I love that it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated, I feel like my skin has gotten so used to it that it doesn't do much for my skin anymore. So I came across Ahava's counter in Shangri-la and got curious because quite frankly, I've never heard of their company before. So I checked it out and found out that they were ON SALE! Am I lucky or what!

So this is how it looks like...

Oil Free - Non-comedogenic - Approved for Sensitive Skin - Allergy Tested 

This is how the moisturizer looks like upon application:

And here's how it looks like when blended out:

Overall, I love this product. It is absorbed by my skin pretty quickly, leaving my skin glowy and hydrated. I can attest to its mattifying effects because it left my skin shine-free for hours, and whenever I use this as a make up base, I noticed that the longevity of my make up is improved. But since I have a combination skin, I only apply this on areas that I oil up easily, not on my entire face. I tried putting this on my entire face and it left some parts of it dry and flaky. So for those with combination skin, you might want to mix this moisturizer with another moisturizer of your liking so it wouldn't leave some areas dry. Good news, this moisturizer did not break me out! 

By the way, I  love the smell of this product. It smells exactly what a baby's product would smell like! I love it and I would highly, highly recommend this to oily/combination gals like me!

Currently I mix this with my Gluta-C day Cream and it leaves my face shine-free for a good of 6-8 hours, depending on the weather. I love love this and would repurchase it if its still on sale. 

Ahava counters are available in Megamall & Shangri-la malls. I got this for 648php (I think) since they were 70% off at the time. I believe their sale is still ongoing so better grab yours now! 

Thank you for reading my blog! See you on the next one!
