    I have been holding off this review for a few months since I received the product, but I can confidently say that this is the perfect solution to my oily, oily skin! I have always had an extremely...

    I love this-I'm on my second tube & have a back-up at the ready. My favorite thing about this is how comfortable it makes my face feel. I just can't stand that greasy feeing I always get towards...

    This is a brilliant product. Very lightweight, NO perfume scent, dries almost instantly and packaged in a tube with a small tip that allows you to squeeze out about a pea size and no more. That`s...

    Just as PC 2% BHA liquid is my indispensable skincare product, Shine Stopper is my indispensable cosmetic product. My face starts looking shiny half an hour after I wash it. This is the only...

    This just didn't work for me. My skin gets shiny in the summer, despite using powder. I saw no difference using this.

    This flat out doesn't work. I contacted the company and they told me they've had a lot of complaints that it doesn't work and suggested I put it on after foundation instead of before. Since I don't...

    I've had oily skin forever, and as I've gotten older the oiliness has subsided but never gone away. I can't say enough about how amazing this is at completely curbing my oily skin into submission....

    I've been using this stuff since its launch in January 2011, but I've waited a long time before leaving a feedback because I had a love/hate relationship with it. I have an oily skin with very...

    I have an oily t-zone & cheeks. This stuff does what it says it will, and then some--I was able to go more than 6 hours without oiliness everywhere except my forehead. Pore minimizing? Meh. It is a...

    This product claims to "give you a matte finish that keeps you shine-free for at least six hours while minimizing the appearance of pores." I did a split face test with this along with my favorite...

    UPDATE: I found a BRILLIANT new use for this product. I have oily eyelids and even primer doesn't help. Now I put this and my UDPP on and no more mascara on my browbone. It does wear off by the...

    This is a great instant matte finish primer. I have oily, blemish prone skin and the Shine Stopper works wonders for me. After I cleanse and exfoliate, I apply a pea size of the Shine Stopper to...
