I find this product works pretty well for me. I don't get oily as quickly. I also find it works better if you apply a small amount. At first I used too much thinking this would soak up the oil, when all that happened was it got cakey under my powder. And often it will be on sale, so the price is reasonable.
This was an average product.Felt soft on the skin but VERY silicone-y. Didnt notice much in the lasting perfomance of the foundation tho :-/
I've repurchased this product about 2 times now. Summers in Texas with a busted A/C in the car equals to MELTING faces especially considering I have very oily skin. For a cheaper alternative than most primers are in Sephora...this does the job fabulously. I don't really like how after you apply it feels a little "powdery" but I do love wearing it under foundation or tinted moisturizer. I see a significant difference when I wear this over when I don't. My face doesn't get oily as fast. I love this product especially with its price point. It's not my HG primer, but it works great.

At first, I didn't notice anything. I was quite disappointed actually, and then I done something one of the other users suggested by mixing it in with my foundation on the back of my hand before applying. Wow, what a difference! I really like this product after all, would definitely re-purchase and I recommend it to people who may have dry patches of skin on their face otherwise easily noticed with other primers / foundations.

I had this primer for over 1,5 years; even though it's not the only one that I use, it still lasts a pretty long time. I absolutely love it, it eliminates shine, reduces the appearance of the enlarged pores near my nose area, helps the foundation to stay on longer. It's not a miracle product, but it works really well compared to other primers I have used -- like E.L.F. Mineral Infused Primer or L'oreal Studio Secrets, Lumene's, Bare Escentuals'. Avon's primer must be the best one in its price range, and I always seem to reach for that one when it's special occasion and I need to look extra nice.

This product is okay. I have VERY OILY skin and i like to use this as a mattifying primer or sometimes i just use it alone. it doesn't really mattify like it claims it will, but maybe my skin is just to oily for this product. i will still continue to buy because it does kinda conceal my blemishes and it does mattify my skin for about an hour on cool day!
It does what it claims to mattify the skin, but it burn my cheeks. Will not repurchase. Also I hate that it can't stand properly on it's own.
This is very mattifying... keeps my face shine free all day long- for at least 12 hours. The price is reasonable. Good job Avon.
I REALLY love this product! It works so well as a primer for underneath make up as it reduces my chances for blemishes and fights away existing ones. It also keeps me shine free and it has 20spf in it so that's just an added bonus. Its the best primer I have used and I don't see myself stopping use of this anytime soon :) btw the reason I gave it 4 stars is b/c i believe that there is always room for improvement.
