It says on it that it is oil free, but when you read ingredients, it clearly says that it has castor oil and safflower seed oil?
- Asked by Dev
- Verified Reply - Staff ExpertThe Oil Free claim means that the ingredients in a product do not contain petroleum derived oils such as mineral oil and that the total amount of non-petroleum oils is less than 1%. This products meets the above requirement, therefore we claim that this is oil free. We hope that this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

I have a sample size primer that's called Mattifying Face Primer and reads "controls shine and blurrs pores". Is the packaging different? This is the closest I find to my sample product. Its not called Pro Matte Prime as it has in the description on how it was formerly called.

Works well for controlling shine!
The first few times I used this I was using waaaay too much product, so it didn't work out for me. My makeup was sliding off way faster and I looked twice as shiny! But then I learned how to use primers correctly. First off, all you need is a teeny tiny bit for it to work! I use a tiny amount and ...

Liquid to Powder Finish
I feel a little torn with this product. I'd give it a 3.5 if I had the option. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either.

Great product
I have used this for many years. I decided to try something different and didn't like it. So I am back to using the Ulta face primer. It is very smooth on your skin and not tacky.
Great value for the money
This face primer is just as good as the high end brands at half the cost. It provides a nice finish to wear alone or to use foundation on top of. will definitely buy again.
I've been using this primer for years
Keeps a great matte finish all day!
Velvety Smooth !!!
This matte face prime is my new favorite go to! I have bought many brands of primer and this is by far my most favorite! The price is excellent, the quality is excellent, and the wearability is excellent! Excellent all around!!! I wear this every single day after I moisturize my face and before I put on my makeup. It can even be worn alone to help blur lines and smooth my face out. I love the Ulta Beauty Collection line!!
Great Primer
Leaves the perfect finish for applying makeup!
