Unfortunately, my oily skin seems to have a mind of its own. One second I’m looking fresh – and the next, my forehead has more glare than a phone screen at the beach. If midday shine has become your Roman Empire, allow me to introduce your new go-to: Harry’s Anti-Shine Stick. It’s small enough to carry in your pocket, but strong enough to keep oil and grease in check all day long (yes…all day). I swear by it – and think you just might, too. Here’s why.
Some mattifiers leave your skin looking chalky or dry – but not this one. The Anti-Shine Stick from Harry’s goes on clear and leaves behind a smooth, soft, natural-looking finish. No weird residue, no extra steps – just swipe it on wherever you tend to get shiny (hello, T-zone), and boom. You’re good to go.
There’s no mess, no mirror required, and no need to interrupt your day: twist it up…and glide it on. It takes maybe three seconds total. I use it first thing in the morning after moisturizing and keep it handy for touch-ups throughout the day. That means one in my vanity and another in my backpack (two-pack for the win!).
The Anti-Shine Stick is loaded with oil-absorbing ingredients like Silica Powder and Dimethicone, along with Sea Fennel Extract, which helps smooth rough texture and boosts brightness. It’s dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, and totally free of fragrances, alcohol, parabens, and anything irritating. It just works – and keeps working, without clogging pores.
Harry’s knows how to make grooming feel effortless, and this stick is no exception. It’s compact, clean, and subtle enough to reapply without drawing attention (because no one wants to be blotting their face with a napkin in the middle of a meeting).
If you’re tired of always looking just a little too shiny – or if you’ve tried other mattifiers that didn’t deliver – this one’s worth a spot in your rotation. It’s easy, effective, and makes a real difference in how my skin looks and feels throughout the day.
