Silicone derived products are often found in cosmetics because of their tactile feel (which doesn't mean that it actually serves a purpose functionally), and because of their adhesive properties. Because it sits on your skin and prevents any absorption, it should be avoided for all skin types. It will clog your pores, and since it occludes, I commonly use the analogy to wrapping your skin in saran wrap. It's the LAST thing you'd want in an oil control formula, or if you live in humid weather. There are many non-liquid primers that also work well and don't have silicone based products. If you have oily skin, look for ingredients that contain kaolin, or preferably, bentonite clay. Bentonite is well known for it's oil absorption properties - to the point that it's used industrially to clean up oil spills. Silk powder and pearl powder are 2 ingredients that multi-task: they'll hydrate your skin where needed, and absorb excess oils as well. Silica (not to be confused with siliCONE) microspheres will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores due to it's optical light reflecting properties, but can also be drying to the skin, so those who have dry skin wouldn't want a very high percentage of silica. Hope this helps, Robyn I can’t speak for hair and skin care products, as I have no expertise in that area, but I can speak about makeup.

It's a silicone thingy also right? Anyway, it's really keeping my skin on top of its game with the workload and stress going on. I’m using the Vita C booster thing from Bodyshop.
