This product is a Godsend! Especially for people like me with combination skin that tends to get shiny after a while in the T-zone.
I discovered this product on my wedding day thanks to my make up artist. She put some on my t-zone before applying make up. It was a very hot summer day but thanks to this gel my make up was perfect throughout the day! No shiny bits whatsoever!
So as you can imagine now I cannot live without it.

It is not good for dry skin.
Texture: It is a translucent fresh alcohol-rich gel that evaporates immediately upon application leaving the skin matte and smooth without clogging your pores.

How to use? Gently pat a small amount of gel over T-zone area before applying make up. You can use it over makeup too if you want although, personally, I prefer using blotting papers especially if I am wearing foundation.
Conclusions: It is a wonderful product, no doubts, although a bit pricey, that's why I am not giving it 5 stars.
I have found out that you can buy it from www.cheapsmells.com for only £13.25 plus £0.95 delivery. So all of a sudden the price is more affordable and reasonable.
