Buy it if you have oily skin
Best mattifier primer I have ever used! I have a very oily t-zone even in Iowa winter. When I first received it I put on my forehead over the make up. It was in the afternoon so my fore head is really shinny. After it dries, it really soak up all the oil and stay that way for hours. Today I used it underneath the Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Foundation and my face stay matte for 6 hours (I usually needed blotting paper after a few hours of wearing make up. I have tried recommended primers for oily skin or mattifier primers from MUF, smashbox, Too Faced, Hourglass, Laura Mercier, Benefits and none works as good as this!

I wanted to love this
But it did nothing to help with shine. I used it by itself, under foundation, with setting powder, with setting spray, and a combo of al, by the end of the day I'm a grease ball Literally I could wipe the oil.i do my make up around 7:30am by 9am I'm shiny.

Not the Greatest
I liked it in the beginning, maybe it was that I wanted to like it. I have a very oily T-zone, so hoped that this primer was going to help out for a few hours before I had to touch up. It's was good to me for the first hour after that not really. Overall I do like how it feels and looks for that first hour. Maybe it would work on someone not as oily.

Works for oiliness, not for pores
Definitely keeps me from getting too oily but does nothing for large pores. Unfortunately at this price point I have to send it back.

Good Primer
This primer is pretty good. In the past, all primers I have used have been a clear gel like primer-- this one has the consistency of a lotion and it is white.

Holy Grail Primer!
This is my holy grail primer! It feels good on my skin, magnifies it, and my foundation goes on smoothly. I'm fairly oily in my t-zone, so I still use an oil control paper about 1X/day.

Did not have oil control or keep shine back
This did nothing to prevent shine on face and after using my face broke out may have clogged pores. I have very oil rich skin. I should have spent more on the Idealist skin lotion never broke me out
