I absolutely love this stuff. It's great for bear skin days to give a matte finish while treating for acne. It has that soft silicone feel without the shine, and I love that. It smells very fresh...

Going well so far with the sample after a few days. Smooth going on and does well with my DaVita mineral powder over it, both foundation and blush. Very little scent. I also agree that I will...

This product feels great at first, but it doesn't do anything great as far as oil control goes, plus it makes my pores noticeably clogged. Definitely wouldn't purchase again.

When you first put it on it feels great & matte. I use it after toner & also put on BB cream or matte primer, and I still end up having to blot 2 hours later. Definitely helps with the acne control...

This makes the face very smooth, and is a great make up base. I like to think that it prevents makeup from clogging my face in the day. However, it has 2% salicylic acid. If you are also using the...

The best foundation primer I've used hands-down. It keeps my semi-oily skin matte and natural looking all day, and keeps my dry spots moisturized and protected to prevent further drying out. It...
