I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin, and have had no problems with break-outs with this product.

It doesn't feel oily at all. It's a very light, fast absorbing lotion.

I have oily skin as well and it does not add any more oil...it doesnt dry out your skin either...definitely worth the buy!

I believe it contains silicone. Some people may break out from it, some may not. I have moderate acne that comes and goes - and I was surprised that it did not cause any break outs for me! You can always try it, and if it causes problems Sephora will accomodate you with a return/exchange.

No oil. I also have acne prone skin and this was perfect. I saw no adverse results.

no, it has tons of chemicals, alcohols, and parabens that are horrible for sensitive, acne-prone skin

I have oily skin, acne, the works and this worked fine. it kept the shine away and it stayed on the whole day.

honestly, this primer did nothing for me. i have EXTREMELY oily skin and i found that this actually made it worse! it felt horrible and sticky when i first put it on and as i wore it throughout the day my entire face looked as if I had rubbed oil onto it. I used blotting paper and powder but nothing could make this primer work for me. i guess it only works for some people and i am ,sadly, not one of them :(

I think you'll like this a lot. I am very oily and acne prone as well and this keeps my makeup on and true to shade.

I find that this primer has a more rubbery texture as opposed to a smooth one. At first I didn't like it, but just stuck with it. Now, I find that my foundation sticks to my skin better and lasts longer with this primer. So I think it would work if you're looking for long-lasting. Hope that helps!

Yes you should give it a try. I have oily skin and it kept the shine away and hid the pores. It is better than some expensive primers out there.

I have fairly oily skin and I feel like the product works great. I used to use Smashbox light primer and it didn't last throughout the day. I have no complaints about the Sephora primer so far!

This is definately good for combination skin. Even though it contains the shine it does not make your skin feel dry.

I'm surprised so many people are saying it has no scent...I found the fragrance to be overwhelming! It's not fruity or floral, just a clean/soapy scent that reminds me of laundry detergent or home fragrances. Also, there's a lot of alcohol and that smell comes through strongly for me too. Personally, I would not recommend this if your skin is sensitive to fragrances or generally easily irritated.

no scent

It has a very light "fresh/clean" smell. Not strong at all.

There isn't much scent to the primer. A bit medicinal maybe, as there is some menthol in it. Just a hint of scent though, nothing that lasts more than a couple minutes after application.

I thought it was an aftershave smell, but I guess it would be more citrusy. At first it is strong, but it goes away a few seconds after you put it on.

No smell.

YES! I've used this with various mineral and powder makeup and it's all a matter of how much you use, and how fast it dries (based on the amount applied).

YES! I do every day and do not have problems at all.

I use this primer in conjunction with Bare Minerals foundation and the combination is perfect. I tried using the Bare Minerals oil control primer, but it flaked off when I buffed my makeup on. Sephora's primer works well under the Bare Minerals and there was no flaking.

Yes this primer can be worn with Bare Minerals makeup. Bare Minerals make-up however has a wonderful oil control primer that they suggest be worn with their powders.

A good primer can be worn under any product line of makeup. I believe that this primer would work fine under Bare Essentials.

The Make-up Forever HD powder is wonderful it helps mattify and provides a wonderful blended and finishing look to your make-up.

Try using Urban Decay De-slick Mattifying Powder, it really helps!

Leroc Eye Primer helps keep eye shadow in place, keeps away any signs of daily "wear and tear" that happen to your eyeshadow even into the evening. my eyeshadow also used to tend to break up and clump around due to my naturally oilier skin and this product helps prevent this from happening leaving me free to go out after work and feel good about my make up. it runs about $20 for about half an ounce but believe me, it is not only worth the money because of the good job it does but it also lasts a ridiculously long time! good luck! :)

Lancome's Pure Focus Oil Free Mattifying Moisturizer...works wonders!

if you don't already, try using a translucent powder over your makeup to "set" it, reduce shine, and soak up oil. you can get a tinted powder if you like, it's just been my experience that translucent ones blend best (plus you don't have to worry about matching your powder to your skin tone).

as far as which powder to buy, i'd highly reccommend investing in a more expensive brand - bare escentuals, clinique, and makeup for ever all make excellent powders - but test each in the store to see which consistency you prefer. i personally love clinique, and the large jar of loose powder you get for the price has lasted me almost 6 months...definately worth it =)

lastly, philosophy makes some truly great products for acne, shine, and oily-skin issues - since they can be pricey, however, i'd reccommend trying them in-store. =) hope this helps!

Yes it does. Admittedly, I have extremely oily skin, even at my age which is 50-something. My day is extremely day....I put make up on around 8 a.m. and I'm out the door in 30 min. I don't get in every night til about twelve hours later and I don't see a shine start to break out on me until 5 or 6 and then it is only on my T-zone, and really not too much.

I do love this product though because it is light!

It really worked. I wore it for my wedding. I used (gasp a non Sephora product) Mac foundation over it that my makeup artist (God-daughter) insisted on & it stayed like a dream.

I didn't have any shine, no make up transfer with all the hugs, didn't cause any migration of the eye makeup and didn't cause me any redness or splotchiness. I am allergic to air, it seems like. Highly recommended to use with any makeup line.

Didn't work for me and I wouldn't recommend it

Based on my experience, I would say it is not the best one. If you are not tooo oily, maybe it can do something but I would invest a few more $$ and get a well-known one

Yes

I think you could since it controls your shine from the face..i use it under my makeup though..but as soon as you put it on you will see it works immediately!

I put it on today without makeup. It makes my skin so smooth that I actually considered wearing this as a moisturizer.

I would say yes. It is not sticky nor has any tint in it.

I put this on right after my sunscreen dries. Some days I go without makeup with it on and I haven't had any trouble with it at all. It keeps me matte and comfortable all day.

You can wear this without makeup, but I'd recommend wearing it over a light moisturizer if you're worried about it drying out your complexion.

I can confirm the ingredients in the product but I have oily, hard to manage, senstive skin - this product has been an amazing addition to my morning routine! I am actually excited again to put make up on each morning knowing I wont be nearly as oily as I usually am! Hope this help!

Don't buy it love. Save and get smash box primer or anything else.

Not sure if it is either, but I will add that I have combination skin and am using this in the humid summer months in the South. It gives me a matte look and doesn't clog pores or cause breakouts.

Although I'm not 100% sure of the exact answer, my skin does terribly with anything that could possibly clog pores, and as long as I wash my face as I normally would to remove my makeup, I have not noticed in about a month of use that this has clogged my pores or caused any increase in acne.

It is oil free (most definitely).

Yeah, I think the matte finish does a pretty good job of smoothing the appearance of pores. It's not working any miracles here, but it helps a bit.

I didn't see any improvement in pore size. I think smashbox photo finish works better to reduce the appearance of pores.

not at all

No..Not at all

It seemed to. Helped my foundation go on smooth and helped even out my complexion. Had positive comments.

I do use it under my eyes and it holds my concealer and foundation in place. Don't know about the mascara.

I believe that this product is not meant for under your eyes. The skin around your eyes is very delicate, and this product is super drying since its for oily skin. I recommend a primer specifically for eyes, such as Urban Decay's Primer Potion. This will fix all of your worries!

I did find that this primer does set concealer real well.

Yes, definitely! I use it under my eyes to keep the shine down there - I put my eye cream on first and then use this overtop.

You can use it under your eyes but if you constantly have mascara issue I would recommend using the Dior mascara because it works wonders!
