Mattifying Primer is a shine-control complexion primer formulated with niacinamide, tea tree leaf oil, mushroom extract, caffeine, and aloe vera to minimise pores, absorb excess oil, and extend the weartime of makeup on oily and combination skin. Part of the Glo Skin Beauty Prime range, distributed in the UK and Ireland by Glo Skin Beauty UK & Ireland. What It Does Mattifying Primer delivers instantly shine-free skin with a matte velvet finish that keeps oiliness in check throughout the day. The oil-absorbing complex grips makeup firmly in place, extending weartime while the decongesting actives help minimise the appearance of pores and promote a clearer-looking complexion. For midday maintenance: tap a very small amount onto oily areas, particularly the T-zone, to instantly re-set shine without disturbing makeup underneath. Key Actives Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores and supports balanced oil production for smoother, calmed-looking skin. Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Leaf Oil and Fomes Officinalis Mushroom Extract work together to help decongest and purify skin, while controlling the appearance of excess sebum. Caffeine soothes and refines skin texture and may help reduce the appearance of pigmentation. Bisabolol and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water provide a cooling, calming effect that helps maintain skin comfort without compromising the mattifying action. Who It Suits Recommended for combination, oily, and acneic skin. Use as a priming step after skincare and before foundation to extend weartime and control shine.
