This fast acting gel helps makeup stay fresher longer and creates a lasting, clear, satiny matte finish without cakiness. Eliminates unsightly breakthrough shine all day. Also ideal for a man's shiny face and scalp.

I have very oily skin so I am always interested in a product to take away my shine. I only tried this under my makeup but I didn't notice much difference. It feels sooo oily and thick going on...

I would highly suggest that people stay far away from this. I love PTR products and use a ton of them but this stuff was horrible. I used it one time and had the worst breakout I have had for...

Another over-priced basic silicone type gel. It's clear and doesn't look like anything on your skin but can pill/ball up a bit under make-up, or make your foundation look patchy depending on the...

This did nothing for my oily skin, it just broke out my skin. As soon as i stopped using this product, my face cleared up. I would not buy it again.

I'f I could i'd give this a 3.5, not a full 4. This stuff works fairly well. It keeps the oil away for a few hours, but doesn't last all day/night. It's a little weird though. I noticed if I use it...

Over-rated. Comes in a terrible little tube that squirts everywhere. It doesn't do much to control the oil in my t-zone. Really disappointing, after hearing so much hype about this product.

PROS: Comes in a kit from them that is quite inexpensive for PTR. CONS: This has cones and so is clogging for my teens' pores.
