As for the issue of hydration, I was satisfied: It is a very lightweight cream, absorbs very quickly, and provides adequate hydration. However, regarding the oil control and the matte finish that it theoretically offers, according to the company and what is written on the packaging, I was very disappointed. The matte finish lasts for at most an hour, then I shine again. I also cannot say that there was any oil control, unfortunately, not even to a small degree. My skin is combination (oily in the T-zone and normal on the rest of the face) and I chose this cream precisely because of the claims about oil control and matte finish, things that it does not deliver, and for that reason, I cannot give a good rating. If you want it as a simple moisturizer, it is perfectly fine.
