When used as directed, Mary Kay's Formula 3 is perfect for cleansing super oily skin. The cleanser feels fresh and clean. The astringent is used after the cleanser. It feels like it gets any dirt out of your pores that may have been left behind by the cleanser. After using the cleanser and the astringent, you are supposed to use the moisturizer. This moisturizer feels like it reapplies and locks in any moisture lost through the process of cleansing and using the astringent. The moisturizer also doesnt feel like it is putting any nasty oils or unnecessary chemicals or elements back onto your face....
