Everything you need to know about NARS Pore & Shine Control Primer

Overview

What it is

This product is an oil-free primer designed to reduce shine on the skin's surface and support the durability of makeup.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Dimethicone - smoothing agent
  • Alcohol Denat. - quickly drying solvent
  • Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer - film-forming agent
  • Silica - oil absorber
  • Dipeptide-15 - conditioning agent
  • Salicylic Acid - exfoliating agent
  • Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract - astringent
  • Oleanolic Acid - sebum control agent

How it works

The primer incorporates dimethicone to create a smooth, even texture on the skin, helping with the application of makeup. Alcohol denat. ensures rapid drying, while the vinyl dimethicone/methicone silsesquioxane crosspolymer forms a film to help lock makeup in place. Silica acts as an oil absorber, reducing shine for a mattified appearance. Dipeptide-15 conditions the skin, while salicylic acid provides gentle exfoliation to improve skin texture. Enantia chlorantha bark extract contributes to reducing pore appearance, and oleanolic acid assists in controlling oil production. Together, these ingredients appear to focus on maintaining a matte finish and enhancing the overall look and longevity of makeup.
