Shine is notable by its absence! Perfect for oily skins to control oil and for all other skins as a primer. Oil is the principle cause of color change in makeup. Absence actually helps control over-active sebaceous glands. It has no effect on the actual moisture (water content) of the skin. Controls oil and conceals large pores while priming the skin for makeup application. Non-drying and pH-balancing. Protects the skin from sun damage. Suitable for oily and acne-prone skin, but may also be used by normal skin types. Absence provides a sheer, color-free finish.
