First, you have to follow the directions. You can't RUB this on. You have to DAB it on. That makes a big difference. I think rubbing causing the microspheres that absorb oil to break (?). I don't know for sure, but rubbing it on makes it far less effective. Second, you have to use quite a bit, if you have super oily skin. Third, you have to put this one evenly. If you clump it on, it'll dry with white streaks. I suppose you could use a makeup sponge. I just use my fingers and gently dab evenly. Finally, it made my skin finally look normal...but it was absolutely not matte by the end of the day. I still had some oiliness. That said, it was far less than before. The directions say you can use more. I guess you could. I just use some blotting pads (I like Mary Kay personally) to absorb around mid day. Sure, it's not ideal. It's also far less than what I had to do before. Without this, I'd have to blot several times a day or you could see your reflection in my face. That's how shiny it was. I've made this part of my skincare regime. It works all year round. In summer, I put it on after sunblock. In the winter, I put it on after any skincare products.
Like any skincare product, YMMV. You may try this and hate it. For me, it's the only thing that worked. I can't get rid of my oily skin. This product at least makes it manageable.
With Shine Stopper, I found that it doesn’t excessively dry my skin and it lasts for many hours. It doesn’t prevent all shine from returning, but in low humidity I find that I can typically blot just once in the middle of the day - with much more effectiveness - and that’s enough to be shine-free for the rest of the day. In higher humidity maybe I have to blot twice. Remember that this is for someone with extremely oily skin, so if you’re not as oily I assume you’d blot less or not at all.
It is important to dab this product on the skin rather than rubbing it in. Just keep dabbing all over and be sure to dab more in the oiliest areas. You can apply it under or on top of makeup, moisturizers, etc. Reapplication with the Becca primer typically ruined my makeup, so this is a real plus with the Paula’s Choice product. I also experience no irritation around the eyes with this product. I often wear it with no makeup at all and I highly recommend it to others with oily skin. Two thumbs up!
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023
This product is absolutely incredible. I normally have a shiny t-zone after a few hours, regardless of what I do or how gentle my products are. Using this cream instantly mattified my skin, and it stays that way the entire day. It’s really natural-looking, and as soon as it soaks into your skin, it leaves your skin feeling insanely soft and smooth.
I’ve found that a disposable wedge sponge works well to apply this cream, but but you can easily use your fingers to apply it in a thin layer if you don’t have a sponge. The cream itself looks like a thicker semi-opaque moisturizer, and it’s not tinted or powdery. Its kind of like eye cream in consistency.
The best part about this cream is that it’s feather-light. I was worried my face would feel chalky or heavy, or that it would clog my pores. As long as you don’t slather it on your face like a moisturizer, you won’t even feel that it’s there. The sponge comes in handy there, because you can lightly dab it all over to get good coverage without slathering it on.
I got instant compliments on my skin, and people even ask me now what skin products I use, and it’s all because of the Shine Stopper. Mentally, this product saved me. I no longer check my face during the day to see if I’m getting shiny or feeling like crap about it.
The people who have negative reviews of this product probably just weren’t using it right, unfortunately.
