I really don't understand the hype for this primer. It is incredibly oily and greasy and left my face looking like I poured oil over it. I couldn't even apply my foundation because my face was so greasy. I have very dry skin so I can't imagine how bad this primer would be for someone with already oily skin. And the primer smelled absolutely awful. I don't recommend this primer at all, especially not for someone with oily skin.

It blurs really well, looks like a filter over your face. I also found that it minimized shine. A slay for oily/combo skin.
Great w/ hydrating foundations & combo skin

I love the blurring effect the primer gives and it's great for my combo skin as it keeps it hydrated but not sticky or oily and the price is amazing! I will say I've noticed for me it doesn't work with certain foundations. For some reason it looks amazing with my Urban Decay Hydromaniac tint but it separates around my nose with my Hard Candy full coverage matte foundation. Not a huge issue for me since I wear the hydrating one a lot more especially since it's so inexpensive but just be aware!

This is by far my favorite primer. I’ve tried SO many different options and this wins every time! I have oily, acne prone skin and it doesn’t cause break outs for me. It creates the perfect base for foundation or bb/cc cream.

I love the way it makes my skin feel and look, glad that I bought two by mistake. All you need is less than a dime size to cover your face. Love that you don’t need a lot of product and it makes your skin feel smooth. Definitely a go to in my makeup routine. I would buy this product again.

This stuff is magic! Better than alot of expensive brands out there (some of which have caused skin irritations) and comparable to Smashbox but alot less pricey. It's become my go-to. I have combo skin and it works to keep my oily t-zone tame, especially during the summer heat. I use a sunblock, then this, and face powder. Keeps me looking put together without the heaviness of too much makeup.

DisneyMugCollector - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I (41f) have combination oily t-zone with dry under eyes and cheeks. This works on all areas of my face. I don’t wear makeup but it controls shine and oil, while making my skin feel softer. Reasonably priced too, although I don’t see the tube lasting beyond two weeks. It does not, as another reviewer claimed, “fill in lines”. I have lines in my forehead and enlarged pores. It made them feel as though they were gone, to the touch, but visually they are there.

This product did work for me and make pores smaller. I’m not sure how much it is worth it because it is a small difference that you need a magnifying mirror to see. But it did do something. It might make me feel better even if other people can’t tell the difference. But it does what it says and feels fine.
