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.

Breaks up makeup does not prime wellThis 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

Not for sensitive skinI 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.

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!

Feels really niceThis 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.

LovelyReally lovely primer, smells excellent and really gentle on the skin x
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.
