Benefits

SHINE STOPPER Instant Matte Finish has an oil-absorbing formula that works quickly to keep oily skin shine-free. Its unique MICROSPONGE® Technology works invisibly to keep oily shine in check while minimising the appearance of pores.
The weightless formula dries to a soft, powder-like finish that smooths out skin imperfections. Can be worn alone or under makeup to help it stay in place all day long. Dab a tiny bit on during the day to maintain results.
How To Use

Dispense a pea-sized amount and using clean fingers or a foundation sponge, dab (do not rub) lightly over oily areas as the last step of your skincare routine or over your foundation. If you wish to apply powder or blush over SHINE STOPPER, let SHINE STOPPER set completely first. Reapply as needed.

    Excellent for Combination Skin

    This is the best primer I've used as someone with oily and dry skin – why my face can't pick a side is mysterious, all I know is that I end up with cheeks that are shiny and itchy at the same time. The Shine Stopper primer does a great job to taking away the shiny without making me dry. It also doesn't have a white cast or feel heavy, which is another bonus.

    Excellent Mattifier

    The best product to eliminate greasy sheen for all oily or combo skin. It works immediately and lasts all day. Somehow, even though it controls oily shine, it doesn’t dry out your skin. It’s an absolute must-have that I never want to be without.

    My secret for blurred, velvet skin

    I'm 51 and had a decent crack at the dewy / glass skin look but didn't like the emphasis it had on my fine lines. I then rediscovered my old Shine Stopper matte finish tube, which was half-finished and lurking in my makeup drawer. I applied it over my skincare & SPF and realised what it was I was really looking for....blurred effect & smooth, velvet finish skin. I started using this again daily, and it takes away ALL of my shine (I've oily skin, which is exacerbated by SPF) . All day long I have soft, non-oily skin and it looks incredible. Over the top of this product I use a blurring powder and the combination of these two, completely smooths out all my fine lines and uneven tone. I re-purchased a tube of this to make sure I don't run out.

    Can't live without!

    I have started leaving reviews on all my favourite Paula's choice products because I'm actually terrified they will get discontinued. For years I searched for products to keep my oily skin at bay but since finding this, I have not looked any where else. As the last step in my routine, I just apply a few dots around my t-zone and gently pat it into the skin and it controls the oil all day! I have it on auto-replenishment because I'll never stop using it, and its cheaper that way.
