Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder ♥ Beauty Review

July 9, 2015

Today I have another review that I will be sharing. It’s on the Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder that came out earlier this year. This powder is supposed to be similar to the Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder, which I’ve never tried before so I can’t compare. It’s a finely milled white powder that is supposed to absorb all unnecessary excess oil from your face. Even though I prefer a dewy finish I think it’s nice to have a sebum control powder at hand just in case! Let’s get on to the review!
Product description
“Its special no-sebum mineral powder absorbs only sebum and excessive oil. Its special no-sebum mineral powder helps skin look clean and clear. Microfine brush puff helps get rids of excessive sebum.”

Pros
– Cute sturdy packaging

– Nice citrus scent
– Affordable
– Will last a long time
– Does control oil (but only for a certain amount of time)
– Superfine powder

Cons
– Unpractical packaging

– Puff too soft and cushiony
– Sometimes doesn’t control oil too well
– Leaves slight white cast (but it only lasts a while)

My experience
The mint green packaging immediately caught my attention, which is one of the reasons why I purchased this powder in the first place. The puff, in my opinion, is too soft and doesn’t really cover the spots I want to be matte too well. I actually use a powder brush to distribute the powder among my face because the puff is pretty much useless to me. Once applied, it leaves a slight white cast but it’s nothing too noticeable and it eventually disappears throughout the day. The scent is amazing! It has a strong citrus scent but it fades away within seconds. As for the staying powder, I found that on certain days it held oil better than other days. However, if you need a quick matte look for a photo or something it’s perfect for that!

Would I recommend this product?
Is it the best mattifying powder out there? No. Would I repurchase this again? No. Like I said, it doesn’t always control sebum too well. I really think it depends on your skin type and how much oil your face contracts.

Do you prefer matte or dewy skin?

    I definitely prefer a matte finish, but too bad I only can enjoy it for less than 3 hours :((( I purchased this powder a couple months ago, but just started gravitating towards it! It doesn't keep shine away and using a loose powder to touch up is annoying as hell, but it will do until I finish it or lose it haha

    I agree that it's not as convenient as it could be. Maybe if it was in a mirror compact instead of a screw on lid it would be more helpful.
