effective shine control moisturiser?

Since ive had Felix ive noticed i perspire a lot more easily. Apparently it can be to do with breastfeeding hormones. I mainly notice it on my face. If I go into a warm building i can feel my face getting all sweaty (nice).
I remember a few years ago i had a moisturiser by herbal essences that was shine control and it really worked. I used to use it if i was going out to stop me getting shiny while I was dancing, but I got it from poundland and it had some weird russian (or something) writing on the back (as per most stuff from poundland) and ive never found the stuff anywhere since.
i got a cheap shine control one recently from superdrug, which is about as effective as....... something not very effective at all.
Before I waste any more money, does anyone know a good one?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    well I don't know for women but for men I use Loreal's Anti-Regreasing moisturiser: http://www.boots.com/brandtreatment/product_details_brand_treatment.jsp?productid=1059190&classificationid=1040282

    maybe you can get a women's version?

    I know!

    The best sensibly-priced (and effective) product I've found is Bioré Shine Control moisturiser. It's oil-free and very gentle, always keeps my skin matte and I think it's only about £5/6 for 50ml. Can't remember exactly because it lasts for ages and it's been eons since I bought one - I've been using the same bottle for months -- but then I am a moisturiser tightwad! :D

    edit: it looks like this

    I tried this one, I got a free little sample from somewhere, and it smells gorgeous, like melon, but I didn't find it that effective. I don't know if that's because I need it more for shiney/greasy skin on my T-zone rather than perspiration, but I didn't think it did much. I use a garnier one, but again that's probably more for shiney/greasy skin. Different things for different people I guess!

    Would that help a shiney bald head too? My scalp isn't greasy or anything but it shines so much you'd swear I use Turtle Wax on it every day.

    La mer Oil absorbing lotion, Clinique moisturising gel (for combination to oily skin) and nimue purifier moisturiser. I use all of these on a regular basis depending on my needs and how my skin feels. I'm never shiney....even in 50degree heat :p
