The static electricity will cause the excess oil to be drawn out of your pores and onto the roller. Once the roller is full of oil, simply wipe it off with a tissue or cotton pad. That’s all there is to it! Revlon’s oil absorber is a unique product that helps to remove excess oil from the skin without stripping it of moisture. The way it works is by using a special formula that contains both absorbent and emollient ingredients. These work together to help draw out excess oil from the pores while still keeping the skin hydrated. Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.

After: After using an oil-absorbing roller, my skin looks and feels much more matte. There’s no need to worry about excess shine anymore – it’s all been absorbed by the roller! My makeup also stays in place better, which is a huge bonus. Revlon Oil-Absorbing Roller SephoraOne of the most popular brands in this fast growing trend, is Revlon. Which is great, as we always love a solid drug store option!

Using a soft cloth, wipe down the inside of the unit, being careful not to damage any of the delicate components. This oil-absorbing product from Mally Beauty is not one to miss. It has a unique balmy consistency that can be used as a primer or as an oil blotter on top of foundation. The colorless formula diffuses the look of shine, creating a soft-focus effect that makes skin appear poreless. It’s for this reason that pro makeup artist Renée Loiz swears by Face Defender—she says it doesn’t disrupt the finish of foundation and leaves skin looking natural. All you have to do is dip the sponge in the balm and then softly pat the sheer formula all over your face. “When using a balm powder, be sure to apply with a makeup sponge or dense brush and tap where needed,” she explains. “Don’t swipe onto skin or you’ll risk getting streaks or wiping your makeup off altogether.”

During our test we tried an array of papers, rollers, sponges, and jellies, but none performed nearly as exceptionally as Shiseido Oil Control Blotting Paper. Our tester loved everything about this product — from the paper’s ultra-lightweight feel to the mattifying powder-coated finish, and especially how well it soaks up excess oil. “The sheet is the perfect size to touch up an oily T-zone,” she says, noting that the papers are soft and smooth to the touch. “There was a lot of oil visible on the paper after blotting and I was happy to see it didn't smudge or remove any of my makeup.” In fact, after using these our tester was amazed to find that her makeup looked “flawless and airbrushed."

Clinique Stay Matte Universal Blotting Powder is adored by over 5,000 Sephora shoppers thanks to how well it mattifies a shiny complexion. Where some powders leave a garish white cast, this does not. “It didn’t leave any trace on my skin,” says our tester. Dabbing this powder over your face completely eliminates the look of shine. “It will not smudge makeup as long as it's pressed, but if the sponge slides on the skin, it will smudge your makeup,” she adds.Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). When shopping for a product that will adequately absorb oil, board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, M.D., says to look for active ingredients like clay, charcoal, powder, and starch. “These ingredients have surface areas that are large enough or porous enough to adsorb oil — meaning that they absorb the oil and hold onto it, keeping it from escaping,” she explains. This immediately drew the oil out of my skin and left a dry trail behind it,” reveals one tester. In addition to absorbing oil, she says that the stone has an almost cooling feeling, which is even more refreshing on the go. “Overall, it seems like a high-quality product,” she concludes.
