I purchased a bottle of Tease Zone about a month ago. At first I thought the product was okay, but nothing phenomenal. I observed the following things about the product right away:

1. When it's on, it makes my face feel really smooth and silky. I just want to touch my face...it's great to put on just to get that feeling, notwithstanding the other obvious benefits.

2. When I put on a lot of it, my face appears slightly streaky, with some parts more matte-looking than others.

3. This product is far better than Clinac O.C., which I used for months. Tease Zone feels better on my face, streaks far less, and traps oil better.

Now, although I was unhappy that the product didn't give my skin a perfectly matte look when I applied it, I continued using it daily for about a couple of months. Then I noticed something.

A few days ago I forgot to apply it, and when I did I noticed that as the day progressed my face was producing visibly less oil than it used to. Also, the gel's streaking seemed to go away as I learned to apply it more sparingly. Now I'm completely satisfied with it.

The tube is pretty big, too. Someone using it every day in sparing amounts would probably last at least three or four months. You have to be careful, though, in applying it because the pump sometimes dispenses more than you want. I've finally got the hang of it.

This is a neat product. Not only does it control oil when it appears on the face, but also seems to decrease oil production altogether, which is delighting.

I started using this product several months ago and I love it. I have oily skin and have never been able to use facial moisturizers during the day because my face became one shiny mess of oil, even in the driest weather. I can now use moisturizer every day under the gel. It leaves my face feeling really smooth and I think it has helped control my acne, too. I don't have to worry about my bangs absorbing the oil from my forehead anymore, so it even helps my hair look better all day! I highly recommend this product to anyone who fights with the shine of oily skin!

My skin is dry but prone to blemishes. I'd just about given up on keeping my pores clear since most products for that purpose give my skin a severe case of the flakes. AHA's work imperfectly; they irritate without really addressing the cause of the problem. Since I've started using Tease Zone my skin looks much better with tighter pores and many fewer blackheads and whiteheads. And Tease Zone gives my skin a satiny feel, a nice bonus.

This really should be sold at drug stores over the counter because I often wonder what guys do about oily skin. Honestly, if you're a dude with oily skin, you should get this and put it in a non-feminine container like a tiny lip balm container and take it with you because it'll neutralize all the oils on your skin the instant you put it on and heck, you probably won't need it again for many hours down the road again.

I have always warned my dermatologists since I was 16 that I hated my oily skin and they said it's great, it's good---it'll keep me from getting wrinkles early. I've been on Accutane at least 4 times because of my excessively oily skin, with no eventual change once I stopped taking it. Now I'm 38 and have what's been diagnosed as sebaceous hyperplasma. What is that? It's when you have such excessive oil being produced on your face that the pores just get enlarged and grow, like tiny little volcanoes filled with oil. It's like a zit, but filled with oil. The more oily I let my skin get, the more I get these annoying bumps. It's AWFUL! Luckily I found this product and it keeps my skin from freaking out so much. Between this and the pore reduction gel also from DermaDoctor, I'm better off than with ANY product my dermatologists or any other product I can get over the counter at drug stores.

Like I said, I really really wish they'll sell this at drug stores because, especially kids, need something like this. Those oil wiping sheets only keep oil off my skin for like 20 minutes and then I've got another oil slick. It's gross and annoying.

I have extremely greasy skin because I have the worst acne problem. Even after I wash my face, ten minutes later, my face starts to shine. I wasn't really sure this product would work but I decided to give it a try. I use three pumps of the gel and apply it all over my face. You don't even know it's there because the gel isn't thick and seems to sink into your skin. Then I put my makeup on. I've been able to go for hours and hours without a single shiny spot showing up on my face. Even if I take a walk outside in hot weather and I sweat, it still holds and the shine is kept at bay. This stuff is worth getting.

I have combo skin. You know, oily in some places, not so much in others. I wash my face, apply the DERMAdoctor - but just a little - all over. Let it dry, then finish putting on my makeup. The first few times I used it I was amazed that I didn't have to powder my nose (or forehead or chin) all day long!! Bonus - I have fewer blemishes. How did I get by without this stuff?

This product is wonderful! Very light in texture and literally soaks up the oil right before your eyes!!

If you have oily skin then you know how disappointing it is when you buy an oil control product that does not deliver. And they normally never do. But this product really works. My skin is extremely oily so I have to apply this product 2-3 times per day. But a little goes a long way so you don't need to apply alot. And it is not too drying either so no flaking or irritation. This is worth every penny.

I've been using this for several years and I adore it. i have really really oily skin that nothing else worked on, and this stuff totally controls my oiliness. I used to use a half dozen blotting sheets a day, and I haven't had to use one in years. The bottle lasts forever, too.

The only problem with it is that it leaves white streaks, but I find that a little pore minimizing moisturizer on top of it fixes this problem, and is good for my skin, and makes my pores look better.

Everyone needs to buy this so they keep making it!

After reading the reviews on this product I decided the product would be worth the price. I used the oil control gel almost every day and it worked great, at first. I'm glad I waited to review this product because after a couple of weeks my skin seemed to become used to it. It began to become oily again sooner and sooner every time I used it. I now only use it every once in a while and it works okay. I was a little disappointed it didn't work for me very long after spending that much money.
