I have some pitted scars on my forehead so the main reason I buy matte primers, silicons stuff,... is to minimise those. This liquid is even better than Benefit's poreless primer, which I still love. I also think it's pretty unique, as I know of no other brand that makes this type of primer If I could, I would give it 4,5 stars, however, as you absolutely need to be cautious to not use too much or you'll get tooth paste like spots. One bottle will last you ages though! The bottle itself is also very nice! Thank you for letting me get to know this brand Cult Beauty.

First time trying this serum. I have extremely oily skin to the point where an hour after cleansing my face would have been in need of a blot...I’ve changed a few things including adding this serum after moisturiser but before makeup primer and it does seem to manage some of the oil. It’s hard to say whether it’s this or a combination of the new skincare and this but it certainly does matting the skin! It does leave some white marks after applying which can either be rubbed off with a finger or I just use abit of setting spray and then continue with primer, foundation etc which works well! It is expensive but worth a try if you have oily skin!

Love the feeling when it first dries, super matte skin without any tightness. Unfortunately it just hasn’t increased the longevity of my makeup at all, I’m still very shiny after about 2 hours. Was expecting more for a pricey product to be honest. Also can leave visible chalky marks on face if you use too much or don’t rub in vigorously

All I can say is I love it. Works well with my oily skin.

This is truly amazing. I have very oily and shiny skin, and this is brilliant for those times when I want to at least pretend I can look a little better. Doesn’t dry out your skin at all, and a little goes a long way.

This serum is the answer to all the oily skin girls here outside... hits your t-zone extremely hard and leave the skin smooth and free of any sebum. I think it's a must-have for oily skinned ladies. My makeup now last 8 hours long and I don't need to retouch the T-Zone. Absolutely recommended!!!!!

I have an oily T-zone with large pores. I use this as a makeup primer as I prefer the matte makeup look. Once it’s rubbed in well it holds my foundation in place, pores are visibly reduced and my face is less shiny after a full day of wear, compared to other mattifying primers I’ve used. However, it is runny I’ve dropped it on my clothes (but it washes out fine with water) so a drop at a time works well. It will leave a white residue if you don’t rub it in well, though it can be rubbed out using your fingertips.I’d order this again.

Smells nice. Far too chalky. Tried different amounts and also on my daughters skin. Looks like you’ve not washed a face mask off properly. Not worth the money.

I have super oily skin so I was pumped to try this out. I used it as a primer and then laid my makeup over the top, and, despite the instructions saying I didn’t need to, set with powder. My makeup lasted a solid 8 hours until a hint of shine came through. Might be a little drying on those with normal/dry skin but for me, this is a makeup saviour.
