    I have a love-hate relationship with this primer. This product has a weird smell to it. When you apply it, it feels like a watery gel and applies smoothly. Once it dries, however, it tightens my...

    I did not like this product at all. It goes on fairly smooth and creates what seems to be a nice base. But instead of controlling the oil it seemed to increase my oil production. I would have...

    This product does nothing except make my face look shiny! I don't notice any less oil. I give it one lippie because it didn't make my face break out but it doesn't reduce oil on my face either. :(

    I figured it doesn't flake if I rub it between my hands before applying on my face, but still does nothing. My skin is not oily, but rather combination, I can get a shiny t zone after some time. It...

    this did nothing to control oil, it may have even made me look more oily than i normally am (how is that even possible?) dissapointing to say the least.

    I was really excited to get this, then the excitement faded as I used this. When I used it, i used a very light amount and it flaked. I tried different amounts and it would always flake. It didn't...

    i found this primer to be very flaky at first, and sticky, but then i realized if you put a lot on and rub it in the it does flake. but it forsure does not help with oil. i would not buy this again.

    Smells terrible!!! I have combination skin and this stuff flaked off my cheeks and I can't say that I really helped fight my oil, either. Failtastic.

    Worst primer. Did they even test this before they decided to sell it?? It flakes and doesn't do any priming at all. Enough said.

    this stuff just plain sucks! Like everyone has said, it dry and peels. I tried some of the suggestion here, like patting it on and waiting 10 minutes for it to dry. It did help, but you know what?...
