    Not a fan. It does no more than an average job at shine control and when I use it, it makes me look very pale. It took me a few days to figure it out (why I looked so ghostly), but it's...

    Neutrogena Shine Control Primer and Powder: I'd been seeing these for at least a month but couldn't bring myself to purchase them until recently. So far so great! These two together control my...

    I've purchased this product twice and I honestly am not too fond of it. I know that other reviews have commented on the gritty texture and I have had the same issue. It also leaves behind a...

    Hey, I like this primer! I almost didn't buy this because of some of the negative reviews saying it felt "gritty", but Neutrogena has always had quality products that I've liked, so I gave this a...

    WOW! Love this! Went to Target to get the beautifully matte primer but they were out so I picked this up, it was on sale for $8.99. Yes it does feel gritty, I patted it into my T zone this...

    I used this primer because I know that a lot of primers tend to break people out. I didn't really notice a difference with this primer and me wearing make-up without a primer. I with it had a bit...

    Where do I begin! I was on the hunt for a primer that would help my oily T zone along with smoother foundation and powder application, this primer does exactly that! I kid you not over the 10 hour...

    On its own this primer is rubbish. It's not a primer, it's a gritty mattifier. It will keep oily skin in check, but that is it. Fine lines and pores will actually be exacerbated and...

    I'm relatively new with primers. I used to use Smashbox but that was back when my mom would buy it for me, now my post-grad salary doesn't really allow for that! But I wanted to try a primer, and...

    I think this is THE best primer I have ever used. I have super oily skin and by the end of the day my eyeliner cakes up until I tried this one. Two stars b/c $12 still pricey after coupon. Squeeze...

    I wish I'd read these reviews before purchasing! This was recommended by a friend of mine who's a makeup artist, I respectfully disagree. I don't hate this primer, but it's mediocre at best. It...

    I don't really notice much of a difference at all with this product. It makes my face sting and random dried skin pieces appear. It is way too overpriced for how little it does.

    This has become my go to primer and I've tried a lot of drugstore primers. It's not my favorite but it does an excellent job. I only get a little shine in 9 hours. It doesn't have any cons I can...

    i apply this on my t-zone, it did help with controlling oil. I found myself less oily during the day. It is not a very good primer tho, it doesn't help makeup to stay longer what so ever, and it...
