This product is like rubbing your money on your face. It was a complete waste of $6. It did NOTHING for me. It didn't keep my face from getting oily at all! I think it worsened it actually! Also it...

To put it in a few words I.HATE.THIS.PRODUCT! Not only did it not make my make up stay on, I broke out in ways I have never broken out before. I get the occasional acne cyst, but never more than...

I really wanted this to work for me. The price being the #1 reason. But this stuff seemed to make my foundation curdle. It pilled up and looked horrible. I don't have this issue when I used...

I used Bare Escentuals primer for years (both the original and the oil control), and it just wasn't helping my super oily skin like I was hoping. I finally found my HG primer in the NARS pore...

I used this the other day and it just did not mix well with my skin. The consistency of this primer is very silicone-y and slipper, so a little goes a very long way. I applied this under my...

I had wanted to purchase this primer for quite a while. I had a hard time finding it. I found this at Kmart for $6. I don't think the price is bad at all, its definitely a good price for the...

I want to love this product so much! But it breaks me out. I have fairly dry skin that often peels. When I put this on my face, it feels so nice and smooth and like it will be a great base for my...

UPDATE: I don't like it at all. I have broken out from it, and it also tested for lead positive. My face looks super oily later on in the day, and it's just overall a really bad product. This...

I didn't like this product at all. The texture of this primer is really odd. It feels like a more thin, creamy version of Vaseline. I have dry skin and it made my skin so oily/greasy. I see no...

I was so excited because the packaging looked so cute and it looked so great but when I tried to use it it felt SO greasy and oily and gross I never wanted to touch it again.

I wanted to like this, I really did. It is cheap, feels nice going on but it is exactly like Monistat Anti-chafing gel. It made me break out a little, nothing major just didn't agree with my skin....

I think this is a great primer if and only if you have a foundation that is absolute hell to blend. I say this because I've tried it with other blendable foundations and they slip right off. So...
