L’Oreal Men White Activ Oil Control Moisturizing Gel Cream claims long lasting shine control for pure, clear and healthier looking skin. I used it as a moisturiser in my skincare daily routine for the past two months, and applied it after cleansing and toning on a daily basis.
It has a fine, creamy gel texture that I quite fancy, and that absorbs rapidly into the skin. I find that it does not mattify nor make my skin shine-free as claimed, but it does provide moisture for my skin, thus effectively controlling the production of natural oil and sebum on facial skin by overly reactive glands. As a result, my skin was not overly shiny or greasy and was kept adequately hydrated throughout the day. I liked the fact that a little bit of the gel goes a long way and covers my entire face – very cost effective!
L’Oreal Men White Activ Oil Control Moisturizing Gel Cream is a whitening product with three active ingredients, zinc-G, mattifying fibres and salicylic acid, designed to protect the skin from dryness and harsh effects of the sun. However, I do still recommend using it under a sunblock to ensure complete sun protection. The salicylic acid also had an additional benefit of soothing razor burns after shaving.
The smell is very manly indeed. In fact, I find it a little overpowering sometimes, especially in the mornings when my sense of smell has not yet awoken with the rest of my body. But overall, I would still give a thumbs up to this product.
Retail price RM29.90/50ml
Pros: Absorbs quickly, Moisturizing, Soothes razor burns after shaving
Cons: Strong smell, Not quite shine free skin

Well. Can you make a review about the white activ oil control cleanser ??
@Nazrie: It should be coming up!
nice. i’d be waiting for it. thanks
hi there. i found your post in the net about L’Oreal Paris Men Expert White Activ Oil Control while actually researching about the product itself. thanks for the information. gotta try it real soon. i am currently using the foam.
no,it does not leave your skin a sticky feeling,it can easily be absorbed by the skin and its very light on the face,it also reduces oil production,that’s why its a good moisturizer for men with sensitive skin
question to everybody who have used this:
does it leave a sticky feeling on the face?
i’m interested in trying this product, I wish they had small trial packets in the department stores.
Started using the L’Oreal Men Expert White Activ Moisturising Fluid. It is still a bit too greasy for my type of skin.
Can anyone compare if the L’Oreal Men White Activ Oil Control Moisturizing Gel Cream is less greasy?
yeah me too. i am interested to give this product a try. with its facial foam variant, so far so good.
i have already bought it. been using it for three days now. the feeling’s great after using it. matte finish, minus the sticky effect.
hye…
u wanna know, this product,
after we use it, need to wash it or not?
confuse =)
thankz =)
No a moisturizer must be left on your skin. Use it after washing your face.
how do you apply it to your face ? do you have to wash it off after applying it ? sorry i’m new to these things. thanks in advance.
Pump some into your hands and spread over your face. This is a moisturizer. You do not need to wash it off. Apply only a thin layer if you do not want it too greasy. Use it after washing your face with a cleanser.
Cleanser -> Moisturizer
there’s a little bit of oil appear to my face when i use these, but it made my skin smooth, white, and handsome..^^
