NeutrogenaShine Control Matte Booster Face Primer & Serum, Skin-Mattifying Serum-to-Primer with Rice Protein, Absorbs Excess Oil & Keeps Skin Shine Free, 1.0 fl. oz

I have been buying this serum for months and I will keep buying it until they stop making it. I don't have time for makeup in the morning before work and this just does the trick for a presentable healthy looking skin. My skin is super sensitive and this product has never given me a rash or any other irritation. Will recommend to everyone 👍

I love this! I love how it absorbs instantly and makes my skin so smooth feeling. It’s not really a serum but not fully a gel, either. One dropper or less is all it takes and you’re makeup ready. Really controls the oiliness all day with minimal touch ups. Will buy again!

As someone with very oily skin, this primer really does the work for me to control the oil. I use just before applying my makeup to help my makeup last for longer hours without worrying about my face becoming to shiny . Will definitely be getting it again

This product did help with oil control, though since I have sensitive skin it did break me out occasionally.

I never write reviews but this product worked so good I HAD to.I have been suffering from super oil skin ever since perimenopause has hit.Like it was bad. Oil spill slick kinda bad.I have tried all the hacks in the book, nothing worked.I came across this product and decided to give it a chance after all the reviews.GIRL.It WORKS.I have seen a night and day difference, I barley have to blot my face mid day.I honestly thought I was gonna have to walk around oily forever.Give this product a try!

I was hoping this product is what they replaced their rice protein complex shine control primer with, since they yanked the black tube of it off the market. That was the best stuff ever, why they did that is beyond me. Anyway, this serum is pretty much worthless for my needs. I need something that absorbs oil for hours, by itself and not underneath any makeup. I'm in martial arts and don't wear makeup to class but don't want an oily face. Had high hopes for this. The "matte" lasted maybe a half an hour, and then my face was even oiler than normal after the matte had run it's course. I have a whole bottle of it now and won't even use it again. So disappointed. Please bring back the black tube. It was the best on the market.

TLDR: So I have combo skin (OILY on my forehead), and mattefying products haven’t worked OTHER than this one! I use a drop with my sunscreen, and then another drop with my foundation. I barely have to dabble my face during the day, and it’s lasted a full 8 hours! Super lightweight and absolutely clear.Pros:- Good gel consistency, so one drop goes a long way! The consistency also helps with dealing with very watery formulas- Lightweight and sheer, no worries about smearing/coloring elsewhere/etc.- Mixes with other liquid products incredibly easily!- Ultimately effective and does exactly what it says it will, without causing any other acne or skin issues (no skin irritation at all, and I have VERY sensitive skin!)Cons:- Depending on how you feel about cosmetics, could seem overpriced. But again, 2 drops go a long way for oily skin, so up to you- Consistency makes the dropper a little weird to use. You have to pinch the top rubber part once or twice while the dropper is fully submerged in order to get product- Scales with weather. Will need about 3 drops in warmer days, 4 in summer (think NYC Manhattan summer heat)

I’ve had oily skin my whole life & this was a game changer when it came to controlling my shiny face after makeup was applied. Prior to this within 2 hours I’d have a shiny oily face & now I go all day with very minimal shine/oil coming through. My face doesn’t feel gross & greasy using this & it truly does help control the shine. I’ve tried many primers before this that claimed shine control, but none seem to work. 10/10 on this.
