General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.

Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe mattifying day-and-night care for combination to oily skin. Formulated with 96% ingredients of natural origin, this light emulsion combines probiotics (LACTOBACILLUS FERMENT LYSATE), meadowsweet and glycolic & lactic acids to purify the skin and regulate excess sebum. Organic oat powder absorbs surface shine and installs a lasting matte finish, while the probiotic complex helps rebalance the cutaneous flora and visibly reduce imperfections.
Moisturising Mattifying Emulsion is a lightweight emulsion from Payot. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 28 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Propanediol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Propanediol and Polyglycerin-3.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Avena Sativa Kernel Flour, Spiraea Ulmaria Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate and Tocopherol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
