Extremely disappointed!!!
When I saw this in the store, I got excited, as I have an oily t-zone. Got it home, wore it for 2 days and was extremely disappointed. Not only did it not mattify my face, but I was oilier than ever!!! Where I usually blot my face once a day, I was blotting the entire day to rid my face of the oil. ...

Very oily
Actually Reduces Shine
I am noticeably less shiny after using this product & dont have to pat as much throughout the day. The primer is black but you only need a small anount & you cannot see it through your foundation & it does not leave a dark cast. I think this works great for the price & love how much better my makeup looks throughout the day. I use it with Charlotte Tilburry Flawless finish foundation (full coverage/soft matte).
I would buy again

Don't let the color scare you. It does what it says it does. I have a very oily face and this keeps the shine to a minimum.

I cannot even believe Charcoal was added to this product. You should realize the original wo Charcoal was absolutely the BEST product on the market. I am 56 years old and have had extremely oily facial skin since I was 13 years old. I have tried so many products over the years. My make up looked amazing when I used the original Shine Killer. I could wear the Shine Killer alone and it would make my skin look amazing. I have had people ask me if I have had work done when I wear the original Shine Killer. Now I cannot wear it alone; as the result is a dirty face. Even under my makeup it is discoloring my make up. How does adding black fix anything? You have ruined your product. You could be best in class with the original Shine Killer.
Don't waste your money! Just a gimmick. 0/10
I purchased this on a whim since I wasnt able to get my regular primer when I was shopping. Worst decision ever. First, I didnt realize it was charcoal infused, so the black product scared the bejeezus out of me. Why do I need a detoxifying primer though??Anyway, this product is extremely disappointing. I'm more oily throughout the day and the shine was breaking through after barely 3 hours of wear. How sway??? This honestly should be taken off the shelves.
