I purchased this cream for my combination skin, I have an oily T zone and when wearing heavier make up - I need to control my excess oils. This cream does just that and can act as a primer because of it's non sticky matte finish. It seems very small but a little goes a long way so don't be discouraged with the size of the package! The cream also has no scent so it is probably good for acne or reactive oily skins that are sensitive to fragrance.
