    I do not understand all the negative comments. Are women globbing it on? I dot in on very lightly on my t zone area. I am extremely oily and it stops the oil and also blocks the redness I have...

    Tried this years ago, and broke out horribly. Since that right after my daughter was born, I am chalking it up to hormones. This has been keeping the oil in check, on my T zone. I use this with...

    This stuff is so expensive and it doesn't work. I have extremely oily skin and if anything it makes me more oily. It doesn't really dry, it just feels waxy and tacky. Plus it makes me look even...

    My dermatologist recommended this product line to me because I have very sensitive skin (and rosacea). I am very happy with the other products that I've bought. Sadly, after only a few days, I...

    I used to think this works, but lately I found that this products makes my skin super oily. I'm not even that oily usually, but somehow when I use this under my powder, my skin will be at its...

    I will start by saying I absolutely love JI's pressed mineral makeup and Matte powder. I have rather oily skin, so I decided to try the Absence. Well, 1)it smells really strong ( a floral smell)...

    Did nothing to hold my foundation on like a primer is supposed to, and made me break out immediately. I tossed it.

    This product does help with oiliness for a few hours- I have incredibly oily skin but if you have any sort of surface dryness of flaking, it tends to accentuate it. The product did not cause...

    I was hoping I would like this primer when it says it has SPF and it's non greasy..it felt a bit greasy and waxy even when I put on a thin layer. It does have a white tint to it, but it goes away...

    For me the trick was buying the flocked Jane Iredale sponge for application. It seems to put it on a little thinner than the horrible sponge that comes with it. If it's put on too thick it almost...

    Can't stand this stuff. It doesn't go on smoothly. I didn't notice one bit of difference in oil control that it claims. Expensive and not worth it. The sponge that comes with it falls apart beacuse...

    It had a strong, irritating fragrance and made my face look pale and waxy. I tossed it after one or two uses.

    I hated this stuff with a passion! It doesn't control oil at all, and it has a strong white cast to it which makes my face look overly pink. Makes my makeup go on all clumpy too. UGH!

    I have very sensitive acne skin. This broke it out. It is suppose to be a product for oily skin. I find it strange that it would break me out. Maybe it was just me. I really like the Jane Iredale...

    Sadly, something in this product made my oilier skin slick, clog, and just break out all over at the end of the second day of use. It may be an ingredient similar to something in Bare Minerals rev...

    I really like this product. It doesn't completely eliminate all oil but it does a good job. It makes my makeup stick in humid summer weather so that's good enough for me. My mom uses this too and...

    Am I missing something here? This did absolutely nothing to reduce my shine and the texture of it felt heavy and greasy. I don't understand what all the fuss is about.

    I have very oily skin and this helps keep the oiliness away for about a few hours. It's very light colored which is usually concealable with foundation. The product really doesn't do much more- I...
