Question 1

Is this cream any good for dry aging skin

Accepted Answer

Initially i would say its not really for dry/mature skin as it is intended for oil control so will be great at closing pores and keeping an area dry on the face which is normally oily (such as the T zone, which is a common problem area for excessive oil)

But if you really think this type of product would suit your needs, using a moisturising cream / serum / oil or anything you prefer and then adding the Bioderma pore refiner over the top to the areas you need may suit your needs without causing excessive dryness.

I have combination skin which can lean more oily or more dry depending on my cycle, and i use this on my chin when it gets very oily and it helps a lot. You really don't want to be putting this on dryer skin, hence why i use it just in the areas needed.
I also use it during the hot summer months around the hair line which helps with excessive oil during the hot times and can be great if your make up is not lasting as long as it could be due to excess oil.

I hope this answered your question and any questions you may have. I have used this for years now, personally and professionally and i'd be lost without it in my kit.

Question 2

Is this cream also a mosturiser?

Accepted Answer

No

Question 3

Does this stop any shine form oily skin thanks

Accepted Answer

It definitely stopped skin shine & reduced pores for me,
buying it regularly now, you need to take into account that
everyone is an individual & products sometimes react differently
depending on skin tone, greasy or dry skin etc
I have normal skin texture, but sensitive & suffer allergic reactions,
I have had no problems with this product really nice

Question 4

Hi all, is this a primer, serum or combination of both?

Accepted Answer

hmm, well its a cream/serum with a purpose to help excessive oiliness and to hydrate at the same time (to minimise pores). If i'm wearing makeup i use this on my T zone (where i am oily) accompanied by other serums to the dryer parts of my face, i allow all that to sink in and then i add a silicone based primer over anything i want 'blurred' such as pores or blemishes.

You certainly don't *need* primer like people might tell you, its personal preference. 
But do be aware, if the area you treat with this is normal/dry the area will become dry so if the oiliness is not excessive or you find you're getting flakey, maybe use another hydrating product under or over this.
(Also note very dry skin can sometimes try to compensate for the dryness by be very oily, in these cases moisturising the area will fix such a problem.)
