Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder Review

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to review the new product from Etude House which is the Drying Powder from the Zero Sebum line.  

I bought this in Etude House store in Hongdae for ₩6500. I bought two of these because my Mom also wanted to try it. I have been using this for a month now so I think it's about time to make a review.

I couldn't understand the information written on the container because everything is in Hangul except for the "Provides clear skin without dryness or flakiness" written in the cover.

I got this information from Etude House website...

 Made of mineral powder (80%) to dry oily and waxy sebum breakouts and below the surface efficiently. 
 
1. Sebum control powder contained to remove unnecessary excess sebum efficiently.
2. 80% of Mineral Powder - soft, elastic, and in various shapes, contained to deliver clear and natural luminosity on face.
3. Wide micro superfine fiber puff helps powder applied clearly without smudge.
4. No talc, mineral oil, animal ingredient, artificial pigment, or artificial scent to care skin softly.

More to know
3-Step Sebum Control to deliver cushiony and non-greasy skin:
1. Sugar polymer from plankton removes excess sebum on skin clearly to keep skin cushiony and soft.
2. Cotton extract protect skin from the impact of stress from excess sebum and sebum breakouts.
3. Patent sebum control mix contained: fermented bean, willow, cinnamon, oregano, pine, portulaca oleracea, and gold to care sebum troubles.

How to apply
After applying skincare or makeup, lightly dab onto sebum concentrated areas.
Caution
1. Use only as directed.
2. Avoid storing in high/low temperatures or in areas exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Stop using if it causes any allergic reaction or any problems arising.

Ingredients list

The container looks like this. What I didn't like about the container are the holes where the powder comes out.  It would be better if it had bigger holes so that I can get more powder that is enough for one application.

Likes:
-Sturdy and cute container
-Not that expensive
-Convenient (I can bring it anywhere since it can fit in my pocket)
-Lasts for a long time (Used it for a month now but the container still looks full)
-Skin looks matte and oil-free
-Long-lasting (I apply this is the morning before going to work then after lunch break and before going home from the office. I still use my oil film to make sure that I don't have sebum transferred to the soft puff)
-Light citrusy scent

Dislikes:
-The container has small holes
-It only minimizes my "oil production problem" since I can still see some oil in my oil blotting film

Will I buy this again? No. Maybe I will try other brand like the Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder.
