Bioderma Sebium Pore Refiner Cream

Excellent as a mattifying primer!

This product is wonderful. I have very oily combination skin and this is a lightweight gel that keeps me matte throughout the day. A little goes a long way; a small pea-sized amount covers my entire T-zone. It goes on without pilling over my skincare and sunscreen. I accidentally left this in my hot car and it is now pilling, but before my mistake it did not pill under makeup. This is by far the best mattifying product I have tried for mattifying primers. It makes my makeup last longer and works beautifully on no-makeup days. I think it works especially well under powder products. I'm loving that it has skincare ingredients to help control oil in the long term as well, not only mask it on a day-to-day basis. I am new to using Bioderma products and am very impressed with this! Highly recommend!

Awesome product!

I have very oily combination skin and am always interested in products aimed at keeping skin less oily throughout the day. Out of dozens of mattifying primers, moisturizers, and powders, I must say this is the best product I have tried so far! I apply a thin layer to my T-zone after cleansing and skincare. I do leave my skincare/sunscreen to absorb fully for 2-3 minutes before using this as it will pill if I don't. In my opinion, this works best under a powder foundation and other powder products. It keeps my skin from getting excessively oily for 4-5 hours and doesn't cause any breakouts or irritation. I think this is my holy grail product for keeping me matte all day and works better than any other mattifying primers with salicylic acid I have tried. This also has some nice skincare ingredients to keep my skin from getting red/irritated/clogged. Highly recommend!
