Love it!!!
This face primer makes me so happy! I use it every day when I do my makeup and even sometimes when I am just lounging around the house with a bare face I just swipe a little bit of it on to help keep my face hydrated and blemish free. I have definitely noticed a drop in the amount of blackheads on my face since I have started using this product!

Made my acne worse
I tried this product because I have moderate acne and red spots on my face. Each time I used this product I broke out the next day. I switched to the moisturizing one and it has worked wonders for me.

Pills under make up
Bought this hoping it would be good, but it just pills off under my makeup while I'm putting in on, and isn't the best.

This is worth the read
Unfortunately this product is recommended for acne prone skin, but has one ingredient (stearic acid) that is pore clogging and acnegenic so it kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. As for all the other ladies in the reviews talking about how the product pills when putting make up on top of it I have a little advice: this is a water based primer, so you need to wear foundations that are water based to avoid this issue, if your foundation is oil or silicone based then they simply won’t work well with this product. It does say it has dimethicone in it which is a silicone, but I always go off of the first ingredient on the ingredient list which in this case is water and is most likely the main base for this primer. I hope this review helps someone, and maybe makes you feel like you didn’t waste your money on this product

Worst primer
I bought this primer on amazon because I saw it as a good primer for acne prone skin. It’s the worst primer and I honestly feel like I wasted my money. It makes my makeup peel off!! I tried it with different concealers and it doesn’t work with any!

Terrible
I absolutely dislike this primer. Clumps up after applying. I have to constantly brush off my face before applying any other makeup.

HORRIBLE!!
I bought it with high hopes after trying the putty. I did NOT work, as soon as I started putting foundation on it started like flaking and peeling off. Very disappointed. Spent my money just to use it once.

Won't stop flaking off/pilling up
I bought this primer with high hopes after using the putty primer. However, no matter how I put it on it ends up flaking off. Dissatisfied.

Bring back the round container
I love this stuff. I use it to treat small blemish eruptions and it dries them up great. I prefer the cream round container. Bring that back!

Not good as a primer
Makes your makeup peel. Tried putting different makeup foundation on top but it just peels and flakes off when mixed with this primer.

Is this non-comedogenic?

Will this disrupt the SPF under the primer? Thank you! Is there a dermatologically supported response to this question?

When I use this stuff, it seems to crack on my face? It starts to peel off my face almost like dry skin. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Please be sure that you are only using one pump per application and blending well for best results.

it certainly helps, make sure you cleanse your face then apply moisturiser before this primer, I use this one religiously had have noticed a huge difference in my skin. Once I have applied foundation I can barely see my pores.

I have combination and acne prone skin, would this work for me?
iamelf
·6 years ago
yes, I have combination skin with dry patches and an oily T-zone and I used to have breakouts alot, this is the only primer I use and I have noticed a huge difference. I cleanse my face, apply moisturiser and then this primer. My foundation looks great and the primer helps keep it all day. so far I have had very few breakouts since I have added this into my skin care routine.

Hi, I was wonder about this product, how much is inside, for example how many mL or what not, cause I saw that this was the larger one and I know there was a smaller one, but I can't find how much is actually in the bottle

This larger bottle has about 1.01 oz in it, where as the smaller bottle has around .47 oz in it. It's in the ingredients tab.
