Blemish Control Face Primer- Small is rated 3.5 out of 5 by 246.
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not the best... So I got this to help cover up acne right? Yeah it didn’t work. I would make my makeup separate and I had to wipe off my makeup so many times. I usually love e.l.f. products but this just wasn’t it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Breaks up makeup does not prime well This primer is sooo horrible!! It breaks up your makeup and makes it pool in certain areas, none of my other primers do this it’s sooo horrible

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not for sensitive skin I have very oily, acne prone skin that is also sensitive to some products. This product was irritating and did not control the oil at all.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not much product This product works well but the bottle only has a very small amount of product in it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from The bottle is deceiving!! I was recently putting on the primer and I realized it wasn’t coming out so I twisted it open to discover only a minuscule part of the bottle has the primer in it!!! This was extremely disappointing because I loved this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels really nice This is very friendly to my acne . The tea tree in it definitely helps showing a difference with my skin for me. No irritation at all and makeup primes very good.

Do you have to wash this off or do you have to leave it on. Also, I have acne and I used this everyday after washing my face but I used and left it on and I think it made me break out more because I think I have to wash it off.

Asked by: Savanna120
This should be applied after cleansing and left on. Individual results may vary but it should not increase break outs.
