Works well and lightweight!
I really liked that this didn't feel oily on my face (like a lot of primers do). It was like I put it on and then I couldn't even feel it because it was so light on my face. My face got a tiny bit oily as the day went on, but not until after 5 hours of wear (and running around getting my house ready for family). I think this did the job well, and was very happy with how light it was and how nicely it set my face for all of my other makeup. Highly recommend!

haaaated this!
I did not like this on my skin at all. Tried it as a recommendation for blurring pores and fine lines but it dries my skin out insanely and made my foundations look awful. Plus I hated the smell also it kind of smelled like glue.

Great product.
I am over 50 and still have very oily skin. This primer under my foundation really helps control the oil during the day.

this stuff really, really works!
I have very oily skin and have tried numerous products that haven't worked so I was really skeptical to try yet another product that promised to control oil and shine but didn't deliver. Wow, am I glad I tried this primer because it delivered in spades! It absolutely works and controls my oily skin throughout the entire day. Very light, no smell, and goes on smoothly without any residue. My only semi-negative is I bought the 0.27 oz. and didn't realize how super tiny it was so I will buy the larger size next time. A little expensive but worth it in my book.

Great primer
I got this as a sample-sized product and was amazed at what it did for my skin. I noticed my skin felt smoother and softer after using it. No primer has ever done that before.

Amazing!!
Had this as a sample and wow it works. I have really oily skin and foundation starts to break down after a few hrs but with this it stayed in place and remained matt without feeling uncomfortable or drying on the skin.
