Dealing with constant shine and breakouts in the heat can be frustrating. This is a hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic loose powder designed specifically for oily, troubled, and acne-prone skin. Its ultra-fine particles, infused with calming Calamine and oil-absorbing Silica, instantly create a smooth, matte finish that blurs pores and helps makeup last longer without causing dryness or irritation.

1. Complete Your Base: Apply your daily skincare, sunscreen, and any makeup as usual.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Using the included puff, pick up a small amount of powder and gently pat it onto oily areas like your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) or all over to set your look.
3. Touch-Up On-the-Go: Keep it in your bag to blot away shine throughout the day, ensuring a fresh, matte appearance.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already own a setting powder that you like, finish it first. This product is a great choice when you're ready to replace it, especially if you have acne-prone skin.

This powder is the final step in your morning routine to lock everything in and control oil.

• Minimalist Routine: 1) Cleanser → 2) Moisturiser → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+ → 4) [THIS PRODUCT] to set and mattify.
• Expanded Routine: 1) Cleanser → 2) Toner → 3) Serum → 4) Moisturiser → 5) Sunscreen SPF 30+ → 6) Makeup (Optional) → 7) [THIS PRODUCT].

Application Tip: Wait 1-2 minutes after applying sunscreen or foundation for it to set before patting on the powder. this helps prevent pilling and ensures a smooth finish.

The No Sebum AC Powder is a finishing product for daytime use and is not part of a nighttime skincare routine. Your PM routine should focus on cleansing and repair.

• Minimalist PM Routine: 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if you wore makeup/sunscreen) → 2) Treatment Serum (if needed) → 3) Moisturiser.

• Amount: Press the puff lightly onto the sifter to pick up a small amount of powder. Tap off any excess before applying. A little goes a long way.
• Apply to: Face, focusing on the T-zone, or any area prone to oiliness.
• Method: Gently pat the powder onto the skin using the puff. Do not rub or swipe, as this can disturb the makeup underneath. For a lighter application, use a fluffy powder brush.
• Frequency: Use daily in the morning and as needed for touch-ups.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? Concentrate application on your forehead, nose, and chin. You can reapply to these areas midday.
• Flash photography? Use a very light hand. Powders with silica can sometimes cause a "flashback" (a white cast in photos) if applied too heavily.
• Want to mattify hair? If your fringe or roots get oily, pat a small amount of powder along the hairline to instantly absorb oil.
• Need an eye primer? Pat a tiny amount onto your eyelids before eyeshadow to help control oil and prevent creasing.

Watchouts: A cakey appearance means too much product was used. A slight white cast on deeper skin tones can occur if not blended well; apply in thin layers. Avoid inhaling the powder.

• Immediate: Skin appears instantly matte, shine is eliminated, and the look of pores is softened and blurred. Makeup feels set and has a smooth, velvety finish.
• After 2-4 Weeks: With daily use, you may notice your skin stays shine-free for longer throughout the day. Makeup longevity is improved, requiring fewer touch-ups. The calming ingredients may contribute to a less irritated appearance on troubled skin.
• After 8+ Weeks: Consistent use helps maintain a balanced, less oily complexion during the day. As part of an acne-friendly routine, it helps keep the skin surface comfortable and less aggravated by excess sebum.

• Why THIS, not harsh alcohol toners? Many believe drying out oily skin with harsh, alcohol-heavy products is the solution. This often backfires, stripping the skin's barrier and causing it to produce even more oil. This powder gently absorbs excess sebum at the surface without disrupting your skin's moisture balance, providing comfortable, lasting oil control.

• Works With: All skincare and makeup products. It is designed to be the final step, setting everything that comes before it. It pairs well with hydrating sunscreens to provide a matte finish.
• Use Carefully With: Very dewy or still-wet foundations. Allow liquid makeup to set for a minute before applying the powder to prevent it from grabbing onto wet patches and looking uneven.
• Avoid On: Very dry or flaky patches of skin, as the powder may cling to them and accentuate texture. Ensure skin is well-moisturised before application.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. This powder is a holy-grail product for controlling excess sebum and maintaining a fresh, matte finish all day.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Excellent. The non-comedogenic formula is designed for troubled skin, and ingredients like Calamine help soothe and comfort without causing irritation.
• Combination Skin: Very Good. Perfect for patting onto the T-zone and other oily areas while leaving drier parts of the face untouched.
• Normal Skin: Good. Useful for setting makeup or controlling occasional shine on hot, humid days.
• Dry Skin: Use with caution. May be too mattifying. If used, apply only a very light dusting over makeup, avoiding any dry patches.

• Excess Sebum / Oiliness
• Visible Pores (blurring effect)
• Makeup Longevity
• Skin Shine
• Comfort for Acne-Prone Skin

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Silica: A mineral powder with exceptional oil-absorbing capabilities. It creates a soft-focus, blurring effect on the skin, minimising the appearance of pores and fine lines. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Calamine: A combination of zinc oxide and a small amount of ferric oxide, giving it a characteristic pale pink colour. It's known for its soothing and calming properties, helping to comfort irritated or troubled skin and absorb excess oil. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Acorus Calamus Root Extract (Calamus Root): A botanical extract known in traditional medicine. In cosmetics, it has soothing and toning properties and is believed to help with sebum control, making it ideal for acne-prone skin. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): Present in a small amount, this gold-standard ingredient for acne-prone skin helps to gently exfoliate inside the pores, preventing clogs. (Ingredient Rationale)

Full INCI List: Silica, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Water, Mica, Alcohol Denat., Butylene Glycol, Calamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Lauroyl Lysine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Acorus Calamus Root Extract, Salicylic Acid, Propanediol, Centella Asiatica Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Tocopherol, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate.

• Fragrance Status: No artificial fragrance added. It has a very faint, neutral powder scent. Scent intensity: 0.5/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.
• Alcohol: Contains Denatured Alcohol, which acts as a solvent and provides a lightweight feel. While generally well-tolerated in a powder formulation, those with extreme alcohol sensitivity should patch test.

• Who should use it: Ideal for individuals with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin looking for effective, long-lasting shine control.
• Who should use with caution: Those with very dry skin should use this powder sparingly as it may accentuate dry patches. Individuals with sensitivity to denatured alcohol should perform a patch test.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of powder to a discreet area, such as behind the ear or along the jawline. Wait 24 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness or itching.
• General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Do not inhale the powder. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear. Keep out of reach of children.
• Teens: This powder is suitable for teenagers struggling with oily and acne-prone skin.

• Texture: An extremely fine, silky, and lightweight loose powder.
• Finish: Translucent matte finish. It does not provide coverage but blurs imperfections and eliminates shine. The calamine gives it a very slight pinkish hue in the pot, but it applies translucently.
• Scent: Almost odorless.
• pH: Not applicable for a powder formulation.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product is generally considered suitable for those concerned with fungal acne.
• Comedogenicity: This product is non-comedogenic tested, meaning it is formulated not to clog pores. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: Powder looks cakey or heavy.
  • Quick Fix: You've likely applied too much. Use a large, fluffy brush instead of the puff for a lighter dusting, and always tap off the excess before it touches your face. You can also spritz a setting spray afterwards to melt the powder into the skin.
• Issue: I see a white cast in flash photos (flashback).
  • Quick Fix: This can happen with powders containing silica. Apply a very thin layer and ensure it's fully blended. The flashback is usually only visible in direct, harsh flash.
• Issue: Powder clings to dry patches.
  • Quick Fix: Your skin may be dehydrated. Ensure you are using a good moisturiser before your makeup or sunscreen. Apply the powder only to the oily parts of your face, avoiding any dry areas.

This powder is an exceptional match for the Mauritian climate. Its powerful sebum and sweat-absorbing capabilities are perfect for combating the shine that comes with our year-round heat and humidity.

• Humid Summer: An essential daily item. It helps makeup stay in place and prevents that sticky, greasy feeling. Keep it in your bag for quick touch-ups to stay fresh.
• Drier Winter: Still highly effective. You may find you need to reapply less often. If you have combination skin, you might only need it on your T-zone during the cooler months.
• Indoors/AC: Perfect for preventing the "AC shine" that can happen as your skin adjusts between cool indoor air and outdoor humidity.

Aggregated sentiment from online reviews. Individual results may vary.

• "The powder is incredibly fine and lightweight. It glides on smoothly with a brush, no clumping at all! The AC version has gentle ingredients, making it suitable even for sensitive skin or when dealing with blemishes. It brilliantly absorbs excess oil, leaving a clean finish." - Hwahae review (2025-08)
• "It seems suitable for non-comedogenic and acne-prone skin types. It also helps control excess oil after applying sunscreen, striking a nice balance. I wish it came in a compact form as well." - Hwahae review (2025-08)
• "I was pleased that even after shopping and returning home, my skin didn't become oily. Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes... it seems to clump slightly, so I need to pat it in several times for it to look decent." - Hwahae review (2025-08)
• "You can use it as the last step in your skincare routine as a 'sealant', or over makeup as a mattifying, acne-safe, and translucent powder." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty comment (2025-08)

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with 100% authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on evidence, efficacy, and suitability for the Mauritian climate, ensuring you receive skincare that is both effective and trustworthy. Your skin health is our priority.

Is this different from the original No-Sebum Mineral Powder?
Yes. The AC Powder is specifically formulated for acne-prone and troubled skin. It contains additional soothing ingredients like Calamine and Acorus Calamus Root Extract to provide comfort while controlling oil.

Can I use this if I have dry skin?
It's not recommended for all-over use on dry skin, as its primary function is to absorb oil. However, if you have dry skin but get an oily T-zone, you can use it just on those specific areas.

Will it give me a white cast?
The powder is translucent but can leave a slight cast on deeper skin tones if applied too heavily. The key is to use a small amount and pat it in well. Applying with a fluffy brush can also help achieve a more seamless finish.

Can I use this instead of washing my hair?
Yes! It's a popular hack. Patting a small amount of the powder into oily roots or a fringe can work as a temporary dry shampoo to absorb excess oil.
