Mentholatum Oxy Powder Lotion - Affordable Lotion for the Oily and Blemish Prone Skin

Phew,that was an awful long title don't you think? So this is the lotion I use during the day ( I am currently using the Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion at night) to keep my skin oil free for as long as possible.



  • Price : Its very affordable,around RM 10 - Rm15,I can't remember >.< my apologies.
  • Consistency : Clear liquid with oil absorbing powder that sinks in when not in use. Fragrance free.
  • Packaging : Plastic bottle with a flat top and a hole to tap the lotion out.
  • Comments : My face is full of oil glands,I kid you not -__- but thats mostly during the day,I blame the weather here,hot humid and just bad. Anyhow as I get my whitening fix at night,I need all the oil control products I can get my hands on during the day.So this was one of it ( it replaced the clinique blemish control toner) that was part of my day face routine.This keeps the oil at bay for 2 hours tops without the Biore Sunblock Milk,BB cream and MM finish powder which is good enough,but on super hot and humid days,it doesn't help much.Whats worst is that I'm almost like a candle princess,I sweat buckets upon heat,I'm like a walking heat sensor. Nyaaa -___- Overall this product is great and affordable,it works almost close to the clinique toner which is much more expensive compared to this.
  • Ratings : 3.5 /5. Would I repurchase?Maybe,I'm still on the lookout for better ones. 


By the way,I came across this video which was very hilarious in my opinion - cooking in a hotel room with just a coffee maker,foil and iron. Of course theres food like oatmeal bacon and eggs.


I think in times of desperation,I would actually consider the bacon,foil and iron idea,its very convincing.



Natalie Tran is a very funny person,I'm surprised that I've not came across her videos earlier.

The video is so interesting! She made a fork and spoon and knife out of foil! LOL And she ironed her sandwich. Totally awesome!

How is the Hada Labo lotion? Is it good? I'm curious to try that :p

Oooh this may be good for my boyfriend. He's been trying to find a good moisturiser his acne prone skin. Poor guy :(. I have no suggestions whatsoever when it comes to oily/acne prone skin, so i'm like... Cetaphil? That stuff solves everything XD?

I noticed you said something about sweat, does this actually help with your face not sweating? Because I don't have oily skin but holy heeeelll do I sweat a lot :(.

I have oily and extremely blemish prone skin too :( I use Clinque Dramatically Different Moisturizing GEL, not the lotion. It works wonders in keeping you moisturize in the areas that needs it, and more importantly matte everywhere else. I swear by it!
