Our Apologies To Pores And Shine

Very Mattifying Primer Very Mattifying Primer

A lightweight, shine-controlling primer for matte, makeup-ready skin.

When glowy skin isn’t it: Very Mattifying Primer. Formulated with oil-taming, pore-blurring ingredients to help smooth imperfections, reduce unwanted shine, and leave skin with a velvety finish that holds. Like, all day.

Deals with excess oil, visible pores, and uneven texture so you don’t have to. For a soft-focus base that won’t disappear on you. Infused with niacinamide, vitamin E, and provitamin B5, this non-sticky formula delivers hydration while helping to minimise the look of texture and fine lines. The result? A calm, bright face and a smooth, matte canvas for makeup. No creasing. No sliding. No dry patches.

Lightweight enough for daily wear, but grippy enough for long days (and nights), 
Very Mattifying Primer keeps oil balanced, skin hydrated, and makeup well-behaved.
3PM shine doesn’t stand a chance.

Formulated in South Korea. Fragrance-free. Total (oil) control freak.

In the AM!

Apply as the final step of your skincare routine (after SPF). Smooth a pump or two across your face with hands or brush, wear solo or follow with makeup.

In The PM!

Going out-out? Apply after your skincare routine for a matte, smooth canvas that keeps makeup fresh and shine-free until last call.

Why We Made A Primer

A solid skincare routine will do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to skin health and appearance, and foundations will give an incredible finish. But even with all that sorcery, your skin (Breakouty? Dehydrated? Dull? Oily?) will eventually remind you it exists. Primers solve that. Read More

    Nice and smooth

    Goes on great, definitely not as shimmery as the very glowy however.

    I really miss the days when Go To had a small focused range of fabulous skin care. This primer is average at best, the bottle is awkward to use and the pump tends to stick. The primer itself is okay, definitely not a repurchase for me at this price point. I bought the mattifying but my makeup still looks shiny and definitely doesn’t last the way it should

    So So

    Feels like silicon. Doesn’t seem to ‘stick’ to face. So it feels like my makeup doesn’t adhere properly.

    Amazing primer!

    I have never left a product review for anything before and I wear very little makeup but I was intrigued to see how good this mattifying primer would be for my oily T-zone and I was not disappointed! I put it on after a shower with the Go-To luxe moisturiser and it leaves my skin soft without the feeling of being oily. It’s also scent free which I like. Have already recommended to friends ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
