Love this. I have tried so many primers/anti-shine products to help with my overzealous oily T-zone. This works wonders for me. I was using Philosophy the Present which works very well for me but I...

This product does absorb the oil that is present on your face but doesn't keep the oil at bay during the day. I've been a long time fan of Clinque Pore Perfect, this stuff is no match to compared...

I've been cursed with large pores and the greasiest skin you've ever seen. Crisco's got nothing on me. Anyway, I was hoping that this product would end my never-ending quest for oil-free skin. ...

Another product I tried on my never-ending quest to find a mattifyer/primer that actually de-shines my t-zone area. This one did not work either. It was easy enough to blend into my skin and not as...

I should have read the directions more carefully. The words “reapply as needed” were a dead giveaway that this would not be the HG primer I’ve been hoping for. Despite its thick appearance, it...

It does deliver, especially in the summer. But if it competing w/too much make up and moisturizer it will not do well. My advise would be to moisturize 1st, wait a couple of minutes and then add...

Words cannot express how much I love this product. It takes away shine, makes pores look smaller, and can be used under makeup, over makeup, or alone. HG.
