## Description

An oil controlled and pore minimizing primer that delivers a matte look. Enriched with a screen printed complex, witch hazel, salicylic acid and zinc. This skin nourishing formula creates a breathable, silky barrier that perfects the canvas by smoothing the skin and strengthening it against damage caused by environmental influences such as pollution and blue light.

Review: Meh..... - To be honest, it gives an instant smoothing effect. However, it doesn't last long, therefore not that great for oily skin. Two hours max and the shine is back. It's not worth it in my opinion given the little product inside. And on top of that, the tube was not even sealed.
Review: Best thing Ever!!! - Best primer ever created!! Keeps my oil controlled and my face feels great And smooth ALL DAY! Touch my face in the middle of the day n I'm not bringing grease to my eyeballs ! What a relieve ! I’m pretty much matted all day!! N that’s usually without make up just the primer.

### ⭐⭐ Meh.....
*by F***T on 4 June 2025*

To be honest, it gives an instant smoothing effect. However, it doesn't last long, therefore not that great for oily skin. Two hours max and the shine is back. It's not worth it in my opinion given the little product inside. And on top of that, the tube was not even sealed.
