Helps with shine

I like using this to get a Matte finish for my skin as it's great at sucking up any oiliness and leaving my skin oil free and smooth. I haven't noticed that it does anything for minimizing the appearance of fine lines which I only have a couple. My favorite part is that it comes in a stick applicator and it makes it so much easier to use and more effective in my opinion too. I recommend this to people with combination to oily skin. It also works as a Primer but I use it when I'm going bare faced and have only used it a few times as a Primer with good results but not as great compared to my Smashbox primers.
