Neutrogena Mattifying Primer with Shine Control, Lightweight Pore Blurring Face Primer Blurs the Look of Pores & Helps Reduce Shine, Matte Primer with Niacinamide, 1 oz

This works very well. I have ALWAYS had shine on my forehead (between my eyes) and next to my nose. This took it all away- for the entire day- I also have large pores & it seems to minimize/blur. I am really pleased with how well this works for the price point. Thank you Nuetrogena !

When mixed with my moisturizer this primer provides an excellent base for any foundation or none at all! I don’t like a shiny radiant finish so this combination suits me.

Light on my skin. Great in maintaining my foundation without grease built up.

A great product with clean ingredients! It does a great job priming my skin for my makeup.

Works very well.

I recently tried the Neutrogena Matte Primer, and while it does have some positives, I can’t give it a perfect rating. I have very oily skin, and although the primer keeps me matte for part of the day, it doesn’t quite live up to its claims of staying matte all day. By midday, I find myself having to blot my face multiple times. It does help control oil for a few hours, but I was hoping for something with a bit more staying power. For reference, it feels smooth going on and does create a nice base, but it just doesn’t quite keep up with my oily skin throughout the day. I’m still on the hunt for a primer that can handle my skin type more effectively, but this one is okay for shorter wear. I’d rate it 3/5 stars.

I have oily, acne-prone skin, and while this primer doesn’t keep me matte through the entire summer day, I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in my breakouts since switching to it. Lightweight, smooth, and doesn’t clog my pores — worth it for the skin benefits alone!

Don’t sleep on Neutrogena for cosmetics. This primer is SO good. I purchased in a pinch, and now just don’t see myself going back to a luxury brand. It absorbs quickly, and makes your skin so soft before makeup application. I have combination skin with a little more oil in the t-zone by lunch. With this, my makeup stayed natural and shine-free without looking chalky and dried out matte. The niacinamide really seemed to help with not drying out my skin, while keeping oil at bay. 10/10 recommend.
