I’ve been using this for about six months now, and it doesn’t work for me. It doesn’t help with my oil, and it doesn’t blur my pores.
Great primer

This was my first primer ever. Covered my pores but does not leave a complete matte finish. It is still a favorite

One of the only products that keeps foundation on my nose. A must buy for flawless, long lasting makeup.

I have oily skin and this works well for me. I love the matte version. Its just tones down the shine, but does not make skin look flat. Must use this sparingly because a little but goes a long way, too much will make skin feel greasy & makeup will separate. I use the power grip for the other areas of my face. Good combo for makeup prep.
Good Primer and affordable

I like the texture and the quality. Works well. I wouldn't recommend getting it shipped though because it got roughed up in shipping and wasn't in its package when it arrived and was a bit scuffed up.
This is misleading

I bought this in hopes that it would truly mattify my skin, and I was left with oilier skin than I started with. The plus side is you can use it as a moisturizer instead of a primer. So it’s not all bad. I just wish it would have been a holy grail product.

Use this only on my nose & chin. That’s where I’m the oiliest on my skin and it keeps it matte.

I wasn't a big fan of this product and won't purchase this product once I've finished it. I do believe there are other products I've tried that give a better luminous look and last longer than it did on me.

This sat in my drawer for a while when I first got it because I didn’t like how my makeup looked after using it…but…I decided to warm it up in my hands first and holy difference! 5/5!

This product is great when applied correctly, it fills in my huge pores which is great. I’ve used it with the power grip primer and my makeup looked so good

Simply does not do what it is supposed to do which is fill and blur pores. I could not tell the difference in the appearance of my skin with it on. I expected it to work similar to the Maybelline Baby Skin primer which is blurring, but this is not at all similar.
Amazing item 💜

This gives a very nice, smooth, effect. The white is more of a blur effect. Love it and prefer over the 2 other ELF primers I tried. I'll be reordering this!
Holy grail!

My nose gets super oily and I use this around my T zone area and it works good! Pair it with the elf power grip primer, you won’t regret it.
My favorite!
