Review: MAC Prep+Prime Skin Refined Zone Treatment

I was super excited when this product was released with the Prep+Prime collection back in February and judging by the description online I just had to get it!

The site described it as:
"A light, oil-free emulsion that helps cloak visible pores while controlling oil and shine. Applies "wet" for a gentle micro-exfoliation: dries instantly to create an invisible, long-lasting natural matte finish. Ideal for the T-zone."

I was definitely a bit skeptical but knowing that MAC is a quality brand, I decided to take the plunge and I am so happy that I did! This product does everything that it promises to. It tightens and reduces the size of my pores and best of all it controls my oily skin. Now that the skin refined zone is available in MAC's permanent line I have gone through two tubes and will surely go through more in the future.

When you first apply it to your skin it feels wet but it dries quickly and you can feel your skin getting tighter. I will say that it has a bit of a silicone feel so those who do not like that will not enjoy this product.
A little bit goes a long way and each tube has lasted me around 6 months.

This product will run you $23.50 (Canadian) for 15 mL but it is definitely worth it!
