Oily skin & milk of magnesia help.

So I've been eating a lot about using this to prime & mattify your face if you have oily skin & I've decided to give it a try but wondering if there's any negative side effects? I've heard it can cause cystic acne so I'm scared to try it but my oily skin really bugs me. So anything you guys know would help :)

Milk of magnesia mattifies the skin by drying it out and sucking up the excess oil on your face. I find that unless your skin is VERY oily, like NO primer has worked for you, then use milk of magnesia. It can dry out your skin excessively if you use it every day for a long time. So either make sure your skin is fit for this product, or, if it's not extremely oily, just make sure to moisturize. No problem!

No problem, if your skin is really oily then I think you'll love milk of magnesia. It works incredibly well. :)
