The polarizing reviews here on MUA reflect my point of view about this product. On the one hand, it controls oil better than anything out there short of (expensive and hard-to-find) Alcone Anti-Shine....Read more

Eh. This seems to perform as well as any of the "mattifier" type products I've tried (most noticeably, Deciem's Matte 12 or Pore Delete). I apply it like folks have recommended, rubbing a little amou...Read more

It definitely helps with oil control, which I love. But... it also comes through your foundation as white and cakey. Even if I let it dry, even if I continuously rub it all over my face, it’s very har...Read more

There are two absolutely crucial things you need to know about this product: 1. Use it OVER make-up, not under (or use it on bare skin, if you're lucky enough to get away with it). If you use it unde...Read more
