    I bought a sample sachet from the PC website to see if it was worth spending £20+ on the full size. Unfortunately this product was not for me - my face remained shine free for around 3hrs max...

    I have combo/sensitive skin. I am oily on my nose and chin, so I thought I'd try this out. This did have a smooth/matte feel, but the finish wasn't good. It gummed up in certain areas and didn't...

    Not for the acne prone! My skin needs to breath. This is like plastic wrap on my skin. If the oil can't come out, it sits just below the epidermis and pools into a blemish. I much prefer Avene...

    This primer did a great job of mattifying my oily and always shiny skin, probably better than any other primer that I've tried. It has a powdery, almost chalky finish. Unfortunately, when I tried...

    I've just finished up the sample and I've ordered a whole tube. The secret to this is to use a SMALL pea-sized amount and "tap" it OVERTOP of your foundation/tinted moisturizer. It might feel...
