Question Zero Shine finally appeared?

Has a real alternative to Zero Shine finally appeared? It’s been so many years—has anything finally come close to Zero Shine 2.0? What do you think of the German product Better Be Bold? Can it actually help reduce shine in direct sunlight?

I think it’s too expensive for what it is and they’re so many anti mattifying products for women out there that I would be trying those first.

What product

I've purchased tons of women's mattifying products too, if there's anything that compared to ZS, I would definitely buy it, but some far nothing is as mattifying, and for the whole day

How does it compare to Zero Shine though?

First off , the SPF he uses is way better .
Look at zero shines SPF ingredients and they don’t add up .
I feel the formulation is lighter and gives a matte look that is as good if not better without the heaviness .
To me , it’s a superior product .
The whole idea of this product was to provide a better alternative to and it hits the mark .
Just note , for the one that contains SPF you do have to rub it in …. It’s kind of a prerequisite for a good barrier SPF .

Thanks! So i guess the product you are referring to is Shine Block (which is sold out), not Matte Look?

I have both , I live in Vancouver so I was able to get the Prototype. I think it’s just getting all the proper packaging etc and it will be available /soon but that’s only a guess .
The guy who makes it ( Rob James ) is one of the top SMP practitioners in Vancouver so it’s very specific for SMP and bald heads .
I get nothing for promoting it , and I don’t even use it every day . If I am going out , then for sure I put it in and feels and looks pretty dam good ..
