Skinn’s Orchid Gel Mattefying Primer helps keep your skin shine-free and “matte”, making it great for anyone with oily skin, large pores, or fine lines.
Orchid Gel Mattefying Treatment is an amazing oil-absorbing formula that helps prevent formation of black-heads and blurs the look of fine lines. It is not thick or waxy, like it may appear to some. It’s actually very smooth and feels amazing when you smooth it on. You can put it on over liquid foundation to set makeup, or wear under makeup as a primer. I’ve used it both ways and prefer to use it over my liquid foundation instead of powder.
It works so well at hiding pores and controlling oily skin, that sometimes I wear it alone, without any makeup on top or underneath. It leaves my skin looking even and matte all day. Plus, I don’t get any breakouts or acne from using this product. That’s a huge bonus!
Another thing I like about it is the pleasant scent. It’s great on those forehead lines that start to pop up midday. It totally filled in those lines and made them disappear without any heaviness. I read one review of Orchid Gel that said it was heavy on the silicone, but I haven’t noticed this at all. In fact, quite the opposite. It’s very light and feels amazing on your skin. I have a VERY oily T-zone, and this is one of the only things I’ve ever used that targets that specific problem. I put in on in the morning and it lasts for a good 12-14 hours before I notice my forehead getting oily again. It really is an amazing product.

Before And After
As you can see, this product totally obliterates shine while leaving pores virtually invisible.
All the other reviews I’ve read had lots of great things to say about this product and I’m not surprised. I like it a lot! If you have oily skin, you should definitely give it a try. You can get a small container of it for only $10.00 on Skinn.com. Or you can get as a part of the Skinn Eight-Piece Skin Care Essentials Set for $60.00.
