I got some of the Boots Brand Expert Instant Matte from Target and it works for me. I can now get 8 hours in without the problems I had before.

I just quit worrying about oily skin and it making my mask leak, I started using mask liners and it's not an issue anymore.

The Boots Brand Expert Instant Matte worked for a few weeks but then I started to have leaks again.

I went to my local CPAP equipment supplier and found that I needed a new mask. I had been using the mask for about 9 months and the Silicon Rubber had broken down. The rubber of the old mask was not as firm as the new one. The new one works great, even without the Instant Matte.
