I was super excited when I got this because I'm very oily in my t-zone so bad that it tends to break down my foundation. After using this for about 2 months off and on now, I can honestly say it...

I cannot begin to express my disappointment with this product. Shine *killer? More like Shine *Enhancer!! This stuff left my face a greasy mess-and my face isn't even that shiny to begin with! ...

It made my skin feel nice and soft at first but made my tzone even oiler after about 40 minutes. On the plus side, it was inexpensive (in the US, not in Australia where I am now) and the packaging...

This product worked pretty well for what it was made for. I tend to have combination skin, that can get very oily at times if I don't apply a moisturizer or something to my skin in the morning. I...

I would like this product better if it were cheaper. It sort of did what it was supposed to do, but did not last long enough for my liking. I need something that will get me through a whole shift...

This is a good primer for oily skin. Definately makes your make up last longer and helps control shine. Doesn't make me break out like other primers either :).

I don't know if this exactly "kills shine" but it does make a nice base, its not your typical silicone feel either, its almost like a wet gel. No over powering odours which I love, but again I look...

This doesn't exactly kill shine; more like temporarily blocks it. And when I say temporarily, I mean like... within 10 minutes the shine is back. The bottle says use as a base, wear it alone or...

This product was terrible for me! I have combination skin and used it during the day to take away my shine in my T-Zone, this did the complete opposite. I looked like I moisturized my face with...

I have to say that this product works a little too well, thus I took one lippie off for the slightly drying effect this imparts. That said, this rather at-first oily consistency product dries to a...

The name is shine killer, but what is in a name. It ain't do nothing to control the oil on my skin. But it helps filling my awful pores and makes my foundation glide smoothly on the skin due to...

Didn't do squat. I actually really disliked this. It didn't even act like a primer for me.
