- Reviewed in Canada on November 8, 2023Verified PurchaseI've used tons of primers over the years and I constantly go back to this one. It definitely helps control oil and it gives you smooth base. I use it with the L'Oreal Infallable Fresh Wear foundation and have been really pleased with how well it lasts. After 8 hours of wear the make up still looks like a satin finish. I have moderately oily skin and this primer makes me make up look better and last longer with the foundation that I mentioned. You'll notice as soon as you apply it and let it sit on your skin for a minute or two that then "shine" is absorbed.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2025Verified PurchaseThis is the first time I'm using a primer so cannot compare to other brands. What I can say is that this primer really helps with shine control compared to not using any primer. I have oily skin and even wearing a dry-touch sunscreen, matte foundation and powder, my skin starts to shine in just 3-4 hours. This primer holds it for 7-8 hours and even at the end of the day my face doesn't look nearly as oily as it used to. I'm using it every day, even when I won't wear any make-up. As for their claim of pore minimizing, I haven't felt a significant difference.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 4, 2025Verified PurchaseI don’t notice a velvety feel (feels like a moisturizer ) but it does the job of making your makeup last all day , I still use setting powder on top of foundation
- Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2025Verified PurchaseI didn’t have high hopes for this primer but I was looking for something to make my face stay matte and prevent oiliness now that the humidity is rising with the warmer months ahead. After several hours my face still stayed shine free. So glad I tried this, it actually works! Great price as well!
- Reviewed in Canada on December 29, 2023Verified PurchasePriming my skin
- Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2025Verified PurchaseThe consistency is like a thin white cream. It feels smooth on the skin. Not heavy. Nice mattifying effect. Holds makeup in place and looking pretty for a good amount of time. I have the setting spray too and it works well also. I like wearing over my sunscreen to keep shine at bay and it helps with that. It’s not super grippy/tacky feeling and I like that but maybe you won’t if that’s what you’re looking for. Those type seem to feel heavy on my skin.

Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2025Verified PurchaseCete base après maquillage ou sans maquillage pour enlever le luisant je l’adore
- Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2024Verified PurchaseI have very oily skin, I wanted a primer that would help me with my problem of my make up running throughout the day and crease 😭it would melt and be gone by end of day made me look like I had been through it! But this primer helps the make up stick to my skin and controls the oil and shine throughout long days not to mention it makes my skin feel softer somehow and can be worn on its own without make up if your someone who feels they have oily skin definitely changed how my make up looked and I like it lot better now

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product!!
Verified PurchaseI have always struggled with oily skin and ruined makeup and always having a sweaty look about me due to my oil seeping through my matte makeup and matte powder! Always feeling aware of my patchy face and greasy look, definitely knocked my confidence even with makeuo on but this primer definitely works!! Seals in all that shine without suffocating your skin and blocking any pores etc and makes a smooth clean base for your foundation to glide over so easily and has definitely helped with my oil control and I feel so much more confident knowing I won't be shiny within half an hour of applying my makeup! Lasts all day and is well worth It!
