Question for Fawn - What are your thoughts on mattifying gels for oily skin? I use OC8 mattifying gel daily and it's been working but I'm concerned about long term effects especially given the fact they can contain parabens.

Not my favorite because the formulas tend to be overly stripping. Sebum is essential for a healthy skin barrier in the right dose. Re: parabens, I'm familiar with the literature and am not convinced that there's a cause for concern around endocrine disruption. That being said, I also believe everyone should manage their own individual risk and comfort levels; if you're concerned about parabens, choose products that are formulated without them.
