I tried this mattifying mist—coming soon to Sephora—and it replaced my powder all summer long
Oily skin in the summer is a struggle that many people know all too well. However, a facial mist from the United States—soon to be available in France—promises to be a game-changer for those with combination and oily skin.
Why Regular Talcum Powder Isn’t Enough Anymore When It’s Hot
As soon as temperatures rise, sweat mixes with sebum. The skin becomes shiny, and you may even wipe away the excess with your hands, which can cause breakouts. As a result, reapplying powder becomes a routine you repeat several times a day.
Yet powder remains the most overlooked step in summer makeup. We opt for a lighter foundation and a more fluid concealer, but we stick with the same compact powder. However, when applied three or four times a day, it ends up weighing down the complexion and creating an unflattering “mask-like” effect.
In the summer, we also want that feeling of having nothing on our skin. So, the ideal approach would be a fresh, light, almost invisible spray, rather than a brush loaded with powder.
A radically different approach to mattifying
This is precisely where ONE/SIZE’sOil Sucker Liquid Blotting Paper Spray stands out. This product is not a setting spray—a category in which the brand is already well-known. It is, in fact, a liquid mattifying mist that you carry with you just as you would carry blotting paper or compact powder.
Its name, which literally translates to “liquid blotting paper oil-absorbing spray,” speaks for itself. The idea is simple: to absorb excess oil throughout the day without disturbing the makeup underneath. What’s more, the product works just as well on made-up skin as it does on bare skin.
What’s in this mist and why it works
The formula is based on four complementary active ingredients, each targeting a specific aspect of sebum and skin comfort. Together, they create a long-lasting mattifying effect that doesn’t dry out the skin.
- Asian Ginseng instantly controls excess oil and shine from the very first spray.
- Hydroclay works throughout the day to absorb sebum as it forms, so you don’t have to reapply it every ten minutes.
- Plant-based cellulose provides a blurred finish as soon as it is applied.
- Hyaluronic acid keeps the skin hydrated and balanced, preventing it from feeling tight or becoming dry.
This combination explains why the product doesn’t just mask shine—it treats it at the source. Hyaluronic acid plays a key role here, because skin that has been dried out by an overly harsh mattifying product often produces even more sebum in response.
A quick step that takes just a few seconds, with visible results
You’ll see the effects of this mist right away. Just spray it on, then let it dry using your hands or a fan. Your makeup stays in place because the spray doesn’t smudge it. Your complexion then takes on a soft-focus, flawless look, without any oily shine.
This method is a convenient alternative to traditional touch-ups, which can often be awkward in public or in hot weather. You simply take out the bottle, spray, and that’s it. The result is just as discreet as the process itself.
When and for whom is this mist really useful?
Normal, oily, or combination skin types are the most affected. For people with these skin types, summer often means visible oil by mid-morning. However, those with dry skin can also benefit from the spray thanks to hyaluronic acid, which helps maintain moisture.
This mist fits easily into any routine. You can stick with your usual powder to set your complexion in the morning, then use the ONE/SIZE spray for touch-ups throughout the day. The two products are therefore complementary, not competing.
What’s more, the spray format is particularly well-suited for summer. You can slip it into your bag just like you would a blotting paper, but without the risk of it getting damaged by the heat or getting your fingers dirty. American beauty gurus, who were the first to test the product since its launch on the U.S. market, have unanimously praised its effectiveness.
This new product will soon be available in France at Sephora. For those with skin that starts to shine first thing in the morning, this little bottle of liquid mattifying mist could very well become the most anticipated beauty ritual of summer 2026.
