Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder Review

Skin Type- combination to oily
Sensitive Skin – No
I was super excited to spot such unique products and I just could not let of these. Etude House is such a cute brand with skincare and makeup that I felt lost initially but then I wanted to pick unique stuff and that is how I was lead to the Zero Sebum range. Considering the hot and humid climate of Malaysia I started using it there as a finishing powder and here are my thoughts on the same.

My Experience with Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder:

The packaging is super cute as expected. The cute tub comes with a sifter top and an applicator. The applicator is looks generic but is super smooth on the skin. It is small in size, so can be slipped in the beauty pouch for touch-up all day. I really miss the mirror inside which is a must for touch-up as it is a finishing product.

The texture of the powder is finely milled. It is not at all chalky or rough on the skin. It works better when patted on the skin instead of sweeping on the puff. The good thing is that it does control sebum without causing break out. I was apprehensive about this but thankfully I was spared the pain of handling breakouts.

It is not a long lasting product on its own but when paired with similar products as base (review coming up) it does stay for more than 4 hours at one go without any budging. After that I have to touch up on the areas that become oily. I really miss the mirror then but since it is a translucent powder you cannot really go wrong with it. Added pro is that, it doesn’t cake up; yay to that!

Pros of Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder:

• Cute packaging.
• Effective.
• Does not clog pores.
• Controls sebum.
• Non chalky.
• Non cakey.
