After I apply this Mattifier, can I apply moisturizer as well, or is that not suggested?

It is a moisturizer with suncreen for oily skin. If you dont have oily skin or need additional moisture you could probably use a different moisturizer instead. I use this one alone and it works great.

When I use a moisturizer I usually apply it about before; wait about five or so minutes for it to absorb fully into my skin and then I apply the mattifier. This seems to work the best for me so that I still can get the best use out of the product.

I usually apply my moisturizer first, let that absorb, then I apply the Mattifier last.

I'm sure that you could but the mattifier is a lotion so I just use that and then put my makeup over it. Adding moisturizer may make your skin oily and defeat the purpose of the mattifier but just give it a try and see how your skin reacts.

Ultimately, you can do what works for you. I think it depends on what you want to achieve with this product and how your skin responds to it. It's got a goopy, thick texture but it doesn't really moisturize skin as much as it creates a similar effect to a zinc oxide sunscreen. I don't imagine a moisturizer doing much good or being able to permeate the layer this product creates. If anything, you'd probably want to moisturize with a base layer then apply this product on top. However, I don't know if it would negate the mattifying effects of this product on top of a non matte moisturizer. Trial and error is probably the real defining answer as in most things. Hope this helps. Ultimately, you can do what works for you. I think it depends on what you want to achieve with this product and how your skin responds to it.

I would not apply moisturiser after applying this mattifier. That is the whole point of a mattifier. If you apply moisturiser overtop you'll have oily skin again. This product is pretty self sufficient in that I have never had to apply anything else before or after applying this. It has SPF and moisturisers in it already.

Yes, I spray it on morning and night, then apply moisturizer. I love the stuff-it really seems to make the moisturizer more effective.

This product is just ok. You put it on first then apply your moisturizer. I havent seen any difference. So no, i dont recommend this product. Ive had it for a few months with very little results. Hope this helps.

I do. I'm pretty sure it's best to use a moisturizer after any serum. Mainly because serums are kinda liquidey and require a bit of time before they leave your face feeling soft and supple. In contrast, moisturizer instantly hydrates.

I have that question. I haven't used a moisturizer with it. Didn't see the need.

I put nothing on afterwards, that's just my skin type though. If your moisturizer has fragrance etc. it might irritate your skin, maybe wait awhile. Coconut oil is what we use,very mild.

I have used the Peter Thomas Roth with a moisturizer but my face had a white spottey appearance afterwards. I use the instant firmx as a facial before applying my makeup & my face feels firmer.

It's a little too thick for me to consider as a facial moisturizer. Also, it's a bit sticky when you first apply, so I guess it depends on whether or not you're applying makeup right away.

I apply it before moisturizing. I tried to use it as a moisturizer, and it made my skin dry.

No. It is a great moisturizer but you use very little. Rub between your hands until warm, don't use too much, like an 8th of a teaspoon, otherwise too much. Experiment, but put it on very wet hair, best immediately after washing. Then squeeze hair with coated hands.Great on feet!!! Apply when wet, just experiment.

I suppose you could, since it "blurs" out pores and flaws as soon as you put it on. It would probably help to lock in the moisturizer also. It also has ingredients that are good for your skin.

you do need a separate moisturizer as it dries quite matt,its like a serum and not a cream.

Yes! I apply the moisturizer when my skin is damp and it drys perfectly smooth. I have oily skin so it works very well for me. Love it!!!

Yes I put it on first then Squalane oil then I apply my moisturizer. Make sure to use it on your neck, the hyalyronic acid is excellent for your hands also.

I have combination skin too. I don't layer it with another moisturizer unless you are on accutane. It is a great sunscreen.
