This did nothing for me. To be fair, I haven't had much luck with any primer, really, and this one was no different. The texture feels smooth like most silicone products but I found that my...

The Ordinary offers two primers - this one and the High Adherence Silicone Primer. I feel like the two do very different jobs and the right one for you will depend on what you want a primer to do...

I really like this primer. This primer makes makeup go on smoothly and lasts. It gives a nice glow to the skin. I can't say I love it because I do notice my pores showing through my makeup after...

This didn't work for me at all. My normal primer is Lanacane anti-chafing gel and I was a fool to try something else. This primer didn't improve the staying power of my foundation in any way (MAC...

This is definitely one of the best primers I've tried. A drop and a bit is enough to cover entire face and makeup still looks good at the end of the day. I've found makeup does still sit in lines...

This is decent primer and in conjunction with other Ordinary products, it's very good.
I bought it because both the Buffet and Hyaluronic products are so sticky and need a layer of something...

I tried this primer under The Ordinary Serum Foundation, which I was finally able to get my hands on in the UPS package yesterday. I had it on this morning, went out to a movie, packed some of my...

My skin: clear of pimples (sensitive, acne-prone/cystic/redness), melasma, scars. Shiny oily skin that makes pores stand out big time from daily use of topical benzoyl peroxide gel after washing...

I usually avoid silicone based primers due to my super oily skin but having read and watched reviews on this decided to give it a go as its so cheap. I am so pleased I did! This product works. It...

Well. I've used this exactly once. Today. Put my makeup on this morning at 5AM, because I'm at work by 6. It's 4PM now. If I was, say, going out again now, I wouldn't feel the need to touch up at...

As far as primers go, I'm really liking this. I have ordered a number of items from The Ordinary and this is probably my favorite.
If you apply it over damp skin, it stays wet (unless set with...

This stuff is glorious. It has transformed and upgraded my experience of wearing makeup, but also seems to have added skincare benefits for those of us with dry, dehydrated skin.
