A clear thick gel that minimizes the look of pores and holds back oil for hours. Feels very silky and velvety on skin. Unscented, silicone free and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, doesn't clog...

The polarizing reviews here on MUA reflect my point of view about this product. On the one hand, it controls oil better than anything out there short of (expensive and hard-to-find) Alcone...

Eh. This seems to perform as well as any of the "mattifier" type products I've tried (most noticeably, Deciem's Matte 12 or Pore Delete). I apply it like folks have recommended, rubbing a little...

When I was in my late 30's, I was oilier. I used this all over my face and loved it. After turning 40, I am oily at my t-zone only and drier everywhere else. I also started breaking out w/ a patch...

In my opinion a good primer is a product that with repeated use will not negatively affect my skin or allow foundation to affect my skin. In order to do this it must be silicone free and oil free...

It definitely helps with oil control, which I love. But... it also comes through your foundation as white and cakey. Even if I let it dry, even if I continuously rub it all over my face, it’s very...

I was unsure about getting this because of the love/hate reviews on this; it seems to either work great or not at all. I spoke to a Sephora staff, and she told me the reason it doesn't work for...

There are two absolutely crucial things you need to know about this product: 1. Use it OVER make-up, not under (or use it on bare skin, if you're lucky enough to get away with it). If you use it...

I keep these around like people keep chapstick--one in my purse, one at home, and another randomly in some luggage. So worth the money! As others have said, this keeps oil slicks at bay. If you...
