    In one sentence: this is not the miracle I was hoping for. I had high hopes for this product because the 2nd ingredient is hydrated silica which is good for absorbing oil; silica is also one of...

    I have an EXTREMELY oily face is this stuff works better than I expected it too. I apply it only on my t-zone so my cheeks do not dry out. I have had it on today for almost 12 hours and my face is...

    I really love this primer. My skin is combination- I get very oily on my T-zone and I apply this primer in that area, and then my Hard Candy primer on the rest of face- this keeps me matte for a...

    Edit 7/9/2010-I have not used this product in months since buying the shiseido sunblock cream in spf 55++. To be honest, this product is just crappy by comparison. I tried using on my eyelids as a...

    I don't use this much for my face... Though this is why I originally bought it, because my skin is TERRIBLY oily, and my makeup by the end of the day seems to be floating on top of a layer of oil. ...

    This does mattify my skin, and the effects last throught the day. However, this is like a paste to apply. It is impossible to spread it evenly or smoothly without being rough with my skin. I can't...

    I was looking for a drug store brand primer (there aren't that many) to save money and I gave this a try. At the time, this was the only one I could find. It does mattify but it's really hard...

    This product is horrible, i have oily skin and wanted it to mattify before I put my foundation on, i tried 4 different foundations over it... all went cakey and separated on my skin.

    Not worth the time. I agree with the other reviewer that you have to wait 2-3 minutes before using it over moisturizer/sunscreen. I only put it on my T-zone (too dry looking for cheeks) but half...

    This is a good mattifier for those who wear very little foundation and powder. I have tried using it with Everyday minerals dry foundations and it makes the skin look patchy and flaky. But if used...

    PROS: Matte finish. It really WORKS. Absorbs oil. Lasts 8 hours or around there. CONS: Pasty texture; sort of chalky finish Difficult to put makeup over the primer (can ball up and rub...

    This is the best primer for super oily skin. I have tried Dr Brandt, Clinique, and Murad primers as well as lots of other powders to control oil, but this does the best job. It can be difficult to...

    I think that this is probably one of those products that either works wonders for you or is completely horrible. Unfortunately, for me, this product was horrible. The product is very pasty and not...
