Oil was never the problem. Certain pore-clogging ingredients are, and Deep Drench is formulated without them.

THEORY:
Acne-prone skin should stick to gel and water creams.
REALITY:
Often not hydrating enough and evaporates quickly. Deep Drench's cushion-weight texture actually lasts, without feeling heavy or greasy.

Moisturizing increases the risk of breakouts.
REALITY:
