Why L'Oréal pitches this spray for oily skin
Made without oils
L'Oréal says the spray is formulated without oils, which it says makes it lightweight and breathable, with no oily or greasy feel.
Shine and humidity
L'Oréal says the formula acts as a breathable shield that controls surface shine and keeps liquid foundation from melting or settling into fine lines, even in high humidity.
Built to hold through sweat
L'Oréal calls the formula transfer-resistant, sweat-resistant and smudge-resistant, and says it gives up to 36 hours of wear. It adds that the transfer-resistant formula keeps makeup on your face, not on your clothes.
No caking or flaking
L'Oréal says the spray helps prevent makeup imperfections such as caking, settling or flaking.
How to use it
- Shake the can thoroughly before use.
- Hold it about 10 inches from your face and spray in a circular motion.
- Keep your eyes and mouth closed while you spray, and avoid intentionally inhaling the mist.
- If excess product reaches your eyes, mouth, nose or skin, gently wipe or rinse with water.
