Expired
I didn’t use item right away. I still had my previous smashbox I wanted to finish, so missed the return window. But that’s maybe a few weeks later, when I finally got around to using it the item was neon yellow!!! Come to find out on the outside of the box the item expired in 2023!!! Thank god I didn’t put the item on my skin. I love this product and this is a repurchase, I use this daily. But this is on Macys.

Decent job at pore minimizing!
I'm really enjoying this primer. I'm not a big fan of matte finishes but this isn't overly matter, I'd say it's more in between satin and matte. It's very soft and silky smooth and does a decent job of minimizing pores. A little bit goes a long way. Makeup applies well over it and doesn't pill or separate. Overall I'm happy with how it performs and I'd recommend this primer!

Best Primer Oily Skin
I switched to this primer during the summer since my face gets oily than usual and I love it! It goes well with my Maybelline foundation. Very smooth and a little goes a long way.

Fan Favorite!
I have been using this primer for years since its release and no other primer has yet strayed me from it! Its finish is mattifying, lasts me about 8 hours before any oil peeks through my makeup. It is unscented. My only gripe is the packaging makes it hard to get what is left when the product is low. But I make a way haha!

Doesn't Work on Skin with Wrinkles
I'm 77 but still have oily skin. Smashbox Photo Finish Oil and Shine Control has been wonderful over the years, but I can no longer find it. I tried Photo Finish Control Mattifying primer with Salicylic Acid and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. It doesn't control oil AT ALL, plus it causes my makeup to gather in my wrinkles.

60 Day review
I bought this product and used it for 60 days and let me just be very honest. if you want a flawless base that won't show any shine for hours where applied, if you want a poreless look and many compliments on your base I recommend getting this in the cart ASAP!
