Best looking drugstore primer, however it has greasy feeling that doesn't go away. But that's not why I'm mad with e.l.f. about this product. It's actually the packaging. It's a scam. More than a...

I purchased this for $5 in the "to-go" small squeezy tube at my local Target. I have large pores, and I like things with Tea Tree oil (which this has). However, this has wayyyyy too much glide/slip...

I cannot get this to do anything but feel greasy and accentuate every flaw. I dunno if I'm using it wrong, I just apply it to my face like any other primer, but this one just sits on my skin and...

I really love the way this makes my skin look. It goes on well and really minimizes pores and blurs skin making skin look flawless. It even does a great job at mattifying the skin and doing away...

Goes on really smooth, and creates a smooth canvas from my huge pores and oily skin, so that's a win. Has a slight scent, but really not a problem. Smells more tea tree oil, than overpowering...

Ugh. Might have made my pores a little smoother, but was greasy and made any foundation (yes,even silicone-based foundations) just slide right off.

I have long since discontinued use of this. I ruled all my products out as the culprit, and narrowed it down to this primer being the culprit that was the sole contributor to my deep, painful...

I have used other elf primers which work pretty good, but this one does not work on oily skin. It feels velvety going on and you don't need much product. But if you have oily skin do not buy this!...

I was really excited to try this primer, as I'd read/heard so many great reviews. As much as I wanted it to work for me, it just doesn't. Very slippery.... The positive part is it did minimize my...

This primer does minimize pores a bit but it makes my oily skin very shiny rather quickly. And like all ELF's primers, don't be deceived by the size of the bottle - the actual amount of the product...

This is a silicone based primer that contains tea tree oil. It has a mild tea tree oil scent. This primer did minimize my large pores but it is not long lasting. Mid-day, both my foundation and...
