Abstract
Abstract Skin treatment product for greasy or oily skin comprising an unpigmented oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion having dispersed therein 3 to 10% by weight of spherical polymer or copolymer particles having an average size of 5 to 15 microns. The polymer or copolymer particles are cross-linked polystyrene, polymethylmethacrylate or polyethylene microspheres. The oil of the emulsion is a volatile organic liquid in the amount of 1 to 30% of the weight of the emulsion and may be a silicone or silicon glycol.
