Absence is an oil-absorbent cover that forms a barrier between the skin and makeup for longer, shine-free staying power.
Absence doesn't just absorb oil the way most oil-control products do, but actually helps to control over-active sebaceous glands. Best of all, it won't dry out your skin!
The seaweed content in Absence also helps to regulate the pH balance of the skin.
If all that isn't enough, Absence also has a broad spectrum SPF 15.
how to use it
Use alone or under any mineral base. Apply to oily facial areas with special sponge included. Absence is also an effective primer on any skin type.
I'm a big fan of Jane Iredale's pure pressed foundation so I thought I'd give this a try. I find that this primer only keeps my skin matte for 2 hours at best. Nucelle's oil control lotion does a much better job at controlling shine.

I am 51 and still get oil build up on my forehead and nose, resulting in makeup that "lifts" after about three or four hours. Absence is brilliant- it keeps my makeup looking good all day long. The only drawback? The price, for such a teensy amount of product, is a bit too high for me to be able to use this product regularly.
