I have combination skin and I'm a little hesitant about the coconut oil. Does the cream leave you with a shiny forehead after a while?

I have oily skin around my cheeks so I have the same problem. Yes it does leave my skin a little oily throughout the day. I now just use it at night before bed. I use a different moisturizer during the day . Hope that helps.

I have only used the spray, not the cream...(not sure why Amazon has listed both the cream and spray together). I am extrememly happy with the spray and continue to purchase it regularly and would definitely recommend the spray. The spray does not go on greasy at all and it seems to do the job very well and does not stain. Although I don't usually spray it directly on my face, I do stray it on my neck, ears, scalp, and the the rest of my body.

I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is. I have done TONS of research on coconut oil and this organic, extra virgin, cold pressed Nutiva brand is AMAZING. If you get it in the 54oz twin pack, auto shipped it's also the cheapest one out of all of the jugs (yes, I spent literally HOURS going over price!! lol) I hope this helps at least somewhat. :) I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is.

I'm not sure because, well, that hasn't been a concern of mine yet. But, I can say, I do like the cream and, compared to other creams in its category, I would recommend it. I'm soon to be 47 on Christmas Eve, so I DO take my skin care products very seriously. I like this one, and will purchase it again. Know, that I do not use it exclusively ..... I combine it, alternately, with other creams as well:)) I hope this helps in your decision in purchasing this product:)

So do I. It is VERY lightweight. Not oily at all. I kept using too much actually...It should last you 2 months. Use one pump only. Their moisturizer is also lightweight...I just started that along with this product about 2 weeks ago and no breakouts.

I also have the combination skin. I haven't had any problems. I'm not sure how it does it, but it moisturizes the T zone without causing extra oiliness or breakouts, and the dry areas are moisturized and not dry. I love it and use it all year round!

Im on my 2nd bottle of lotion/cream whereas I only bought 1 bottle of the oil. I like the lotion better. I even started blending the buckthorn lotion with Cerave PM for extra moisturizing and smooth look. The oil left me just a tiny bit dry

I am not an authority on skin product; but for me, it has slowed the aging process and has made my skin so much softer. I believe coconut oil is the beneficial ingredient.

As long as you do not use too much (you only need a small drop for your entire face), it will not make your face greasy. Once you put it on, give it a few minutes to settle in to your skin. I absolutely love it and it has replaced all other moisturizers for me.

It is shiny... I use it more when I go to the beach. Maybe try mixing a light moisturizer with it?

Yes. I have super oily skin (I have to blot my face several times a day, and it is still almost 'slick' to the touch) and the pigments still stay put through the oil and the blotting. Then again, I use a makeup setting spray (from elf) so that they stay intact.

I found if your skin leans more to dry type this will stay put. If you have more oily type skin, then it keeps its moisture/oil and easily rubs off. I have dry skin and the product stayed put on me. When I added a tiny bit of coconut oil for a more moist look, it looked good but rubbed off easily. It still looks great on me dry so I'll stick with that. I'd guess for oily skin could try powder, or astringent before applying..

Whatever the concentration, for my combination skin it is not so great that it causes peeling, I can use it everyday without looking like I just had a peel. It has a lot of aloe in it which helps too.

This is a very heavy moisturizer, and I don't know where you live; I am in NC, and it was too heavy for me, with the humidity. If your skin is very dry, you should be OK. If you have normal skin, it may be a tad too greasy. I found that it didn't absorb well. I wasn't crazy about the fragrance either...:)

I have combination skin and it works well for me. The bottle says "deep-cleanses to leave even oily skin clean and fresh"

I think it will be. My skin has never felt cleaner and it's less greasy as well. I use a cleanser of my choice instead of the one that came with it as i think that it might be too harsh.

I think it would depend on your sensitivity to the cream. I was my face nightly and use this cream and have no issues but I have also used it as a spot treatment and it can make your skin very dry. I think that it just depends how your skin takes to it.
