What the gurus are saying

Experts praise this as a standout mattifying primer, especially for those with oily skin who battle shine over the course of the day. The upselite ingredient absorbs oil and sweat effectively, so people can dab it on oily spots mid-day with or without makeup on top. It comes translucent (zero pigment), though the brand offers shades as well, making it flexible whether someone wants just oil control or a light foundation-primer hybrid.

"It's an incredible primer. It's beautiful under makeup and especially if you have oily skin, but it can be used on its own. This has an ingredient called upselite in it, which is a really unique molecule that is very good at absorbing oil and sweat and moisture. So if you're someone who gets really shiny over the course of the day, you can take a little bit of this and use it on sort of like your oily spots and it will help keep the shine down whether or not you decide to put makeup on top of it or not. This is the universal shade. It's translucent. There's zero pigment here, so it's really just for pores and oil control, but they do have it in a ton of different shades. So if you wanted it to be your foundation and primer all-in-one, especially if you wanted something that just sort of has a light touch for a little bit of color correction without having to do so much makeup, a super nice option."
