I think this oil/shine control primer is excellent. You can use it under foundation or bring it with you to apply and blot oil during the day right over your makeup without moving it. As soon as...

This product does not do what it's supposed to and that's the bottom line. I have super oily skin and this made it even worse than when I didn't use it. The texture and the way it comes out of the...

This works for me. The only thing I don't like is the way it dispenses. You have to be very careful or it will shoot out quickly, going anywhere but your finger. It makes my skin soft and my...

Wow...I'm a little surprised by all the harsh reviews on this one! I've lived by this item for a while now, and although I'm too lazy to use it every day, it's the first thing I put on for any...

Although this does make my skin matte, you get such a ridiculously small amount of product for the price that there's no way I'd buy it again. I'll stick with clean & clear's oil-absorbing sheets,...

Bottom line: It made my skin more greasy than when I didn't use it. Don't waste your $.

Talk about hit or miss! :D Wow - HOLY GRAIL for me. I am sort of a shine control gel connoiseur, but had been scared away from this by the $10 price tag. Oddly, I can pay more for Body Shop's...

I tried this in the summer when my skin was oily. It was irritating and seemed to make my skin produce more oil. I gave the rest to my sister.

At first I liked it. It made may t-zone feel powdery soft, and seemed to control shine a little, but not as much as I had hoped. After a month or so the product had dried to a rubber like...

I love this! It feels like you're putting on powder because your skin feels so soft afterwards! It leaves your skin beautiful! Totally recommended!

This product contains salycilic (sp?) acid, and is meant as an acne treatment that controls oil/shine. Well, it made my skin MORE OILY!!! Run from this product--while it did NOT increase my acne,...
