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 minimizing the appearance of pores. The weightless formula dries to a soft, powder-like finish that smoothes 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.

All Paula’s Choice products are 100% fragrance free, clinically proven to be non-irritating, and never tested on animals.

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.

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.

    Works well enough

    Formula is smooth and have been using it repeatedly. Wished it included SPF capabilities though.

    Fantastic

    It makes my skin shine free for a few hours. In Singapore's humid weather, this is a godsend.
