    This is without a doubt one of the worst products I have ever purchased. It balls and cakes under foundation and did nothing to control oil. I honestly believe Paula has people on her payroll to...

    This is quite pricey but a little goes a long way. With my combination skin, my make up starts melting around my T zone by lunch time. However, a few dabs of this on my T zone after BB cream and...

    Pretty good for my super oily skin. I still get oily, but this helps some. I find this works better if I rub it in, not pat it in like another reviewer stated. Just let this sink in for a good 10...

    This product contains Myristyl Myristate, which is a HUGE acne no-no. I applied this to my forehead and had whiteheads the next day. Tried it on my chest, had whiteheads the next day. I contacted...

    I am so glad PC have made a product solely for mattifying your face because comparable products are just full of bad alcohols. I was not expecting miracles but this does a very very good job at...

    I received a sample of this with a PC order and I am very impressed! I have combination skin with my forehead/t-zone being oily regularly. I usually have to blot my forehead a few times a day to...
