I've given this product a real run for its money - using it over the humid period we've been suffering from lately has been the perfect test.
I haven't used all that many Rimmel products but this one has been OK - not amazing, but OK.
I've got a fairly oily T zone and use double wear foundation.
This product comes in an easy to use plastic tube. Just unscrew the cap and squeeze out the desired amount. Easy as!
I've only been applying to my T zone as the mattifying effect can make my cheeks a little dry looking, not what I want.
It blends into my skin pretty well and make up application afterwards is not affected.
It really doesn't seem to affect the pore size on my skin, but It really helps my nose look less greasy throughout the day, but not for the full 8 hours it claims. If it did, I would absolutely give this product a 5/5. I can get about 6 hours out of this before I have to start blotting :( I really feel like it would perform better during the slightly cooler seasons - this summer has been outrageously humid.
The price is very reasonable - I got mine at the warehouse for 20% off - always seems to come up on sale there. WINNING!
Been using this product for about 2-3 months now. It makes a beautiful base for the rest of my make up, although I wish it was a bit more heavy duty - more mattifying. I have very oily skin and my skin only stays matte for 2 hours tops. Although I would recommend it to people with normal skin or people with skin that's just a little bit oily. Smells a little bit like PVA glue in my opinion but you can't smell it once it's on your face. Makes me skin look smooth - I would definitely buy again purely based off of how it makes my makeup look in comparison to other drugstore primers that didn't work as well for me.
