Belif Hydra Sebum Control Essence Review

Skin type: Oily-sensitive, acne prone.

Hello, friends!

I am here to share my views on another skincare product which seems to work perfectly for combination, oily skin beauties all year round. I have tried “Belif” products before and find them pretty decent for my weird skin type, though, I find them a bit expensive. If you can dare to go little over your budget then “Belif” is one promising brand which is worth trying. Let’s read more about the Belif Hydra Sebum Control Essence today!

My Experience with Belif Hydra Sebum Control Essence:

The light-weight lotion comes in a sturdy and opaque white bottle packaging with pump dispenser opening. I like the concept of fitting in a little cap at the opening to prevent any accidental spillage. It does have a mild medicinal sweet fragrance which is barely noticeable. Overall, I liked the hygienic and travel-friendly concept with the incorporation of a small cap at the end of the dispenser opening, though, I prefer putting it in a cardboard packaging further for secure travelling plans.

So, they call it a sebum control essence and I find it as a hybrid between moisturiser and serum. It provides intense hydration like a rich moisturiser without being heavier or greasier as it absorbs easily into the skin and it settles into a matte finish. And as they claim, the light-weight lotion provides a moist and cooling sensation on the skin while damping or massaging gently. It absorbs completely into super clean and dry skin.

I like how it feels super light on my skin without leaving any dewy finish with a refined skin texture and complexion as well. Now, don’t get it wrong when I say it settles into a matte finish, as it works equally well in treating dry patches and dryness on the skin apart from keeping the oil at bay! I usually had a notion that products which absorb faster are not very hydrating for my skin but, this lotion completely changed my perception. It usually dries into a powdery matte finish without accentuating or emphasising dry skin patches and/or skin texture.

In fact with regular usage, I can feel my skin is smooth and feel less flaky than before. It never aggravated or irritated my acne prone–sensitive skin in these weeks of usage. And, I never felt a need of layering it on with hydrating products as it alone takes care of all my skin concerns except the fact that it lacks an SPF. Hence, I can certainly vouch for its results on super oily, combination skin type but, dry skin beauties might need additional moisture boost to see the results considering it is a light-weight serum-lotion after all.

Moreover, I find it perfect for using beneath the makeup for it provides much-needed hydration to my skin yet matte finish at the same time. I am hopeful that it will work equally well in summers for my skin type as it does not feel as rich or heavy on my skin as other hydrating products I have used so far. This is by far the best discovery for me this year from “Belif”. I would love to count it among my staple skincare products for years. I would definitely recommend this essence to beauties with oily, combination skin type provided you are fine with the price which does seem on the high-end side.
