The only reason I won't give this product a 5 is because it isn't a miracle, but it does what it promises for the most part. I have the worst oily skin of anyone I know, most days of the week I use...

Didn't work for me at all. I have an oily T-zone and bought this hoping it would help me keep it under control but I didn't notice any difference in oil control. It's in my discard pile unfortunately.

I really like using this on a casual, but if you're planning on doing anything where you'll be sweating, it doesn't really do anything for you. I haven't had any problems with it, and it really...

I hate this stuff. It felt sticky and definitely did not control my oily t-zone, ick. Could just be me but that's how it was for me!

This primer is a waste of money... It does not prime! It just dries up oil. Which is why I gave it a two; it helped with the oil on my nose. However, I can not use it everywhere on my face to prime...
