    I have tried a LOT of primers, and this one really, really controls the oil in the t-zone. For that, I would give it a 5, but I took off one lippie because if you don't apply fast or apply too...

    I typically have to blot my nose about once every 3 hours, but with this primer I can last about 8 hrs without getting too shiny. ~ I apply this with my fingers, over moisturizer on my T-zone...

    I find it relatively easy to control and experience hardly any white streaking. After applying this last (bha, C, eye cream, s/s) I wait about 2 minutes, put another light coat of the Clinique...

    This helps greatly in keeping excess oil and shine at bay, though I still need to blot midday. I only use a pea-sized amount to avoid the white streaking that others have mentioned and I have to...

    I'm in two minds about this primer. On the one hand, it does a decent job at controlling oil - it's not a miracle product for me, but it definitely helps. I still need to blot halfway through my...

    I've been using this primer for about 10 days on my oily, extremely acne prone skin with large pores. First, I tried letting my moisturizer sink in, and then applying the primer. It was much too...

    I have oily, acne prone skin that is also sensitive with flaky patches (due to being on Retin A Micro long-term for cystic acne). So while I have oily skin, I do have to use a thick moisturizer...

    This comes quite close to being a HG for me. Keeps me matte nearly all day, works well with most foundations-this is a dream for powder foundation, works really nicely with liquid/cream too. Just...

    A bit disappointing... This doesn't make my skin smoother or fill in pores like most primers claim to do. It seems to help a little bit with oil control, but not much really. But... it's only...

    I don't know if I can really explain how much I HATE my skin. It's kind of sad, and really probably undeserving, but I do. It freaks out, breaks out, oils up, resists all the RIDICulously expensive...
