There isn't anything particularly bad about this product, but there also isn't anything particularly good.

It is inexpensive and dries quickly which I like because in the morning I need to quickly do my make up. It has a nice gel consistency but I've found that it doesn't last all day, only a couple of hours. By the end of the night, my skin feels dry and flaky. It also doesn't do anything in the long term but for those few hours, my skin feels soft.

As for the mattifying and shine free promise, it doesn't really deliver. I like that it doesn't contain oil but at the same time, I still find my skin is oily. Without this product, I don't really notice a huge difference in my skin either.
