Amazing primer! Makeup application is night and day with this primer. It makes makeup apply much more evenly, blurres the pores and makes my foundation last all day! ????

This is a simple primer/lotion but I love it and keep reaching for it. My skin type is pretty ordinary but my nose gets a little oily and this keeps that completely at bay, and I can definitely...

Love this primer! Smooths my complexion and adds staying power to my makeup. It’s light on the skin, and doesn’t cause irritation or breakouts. I will continue to use!

This is nothing special and does nothing for my skin. Does not blur pores or wrinkles or make my makeup last longer. It is just a lotion. Very basic. I was expecting a primer, not this. Not worth...

I've repurchased this 3 times but I can't help noticing that I keep breaking out eversince. I used to get breakouts but not as often as I do now. It could be due to the silicon, but I like how it...

I've tried ever so many primers from $40/tube [!!! can't believe I paid that] to just a few dollars and this one beats them all & not just in price. My biggest complaint with primers in general is...

I've used higher end and drugstore primers and I think this is the worst I've tried. At first I thought it seemed okay, it was like a lotion which I like and it spread on smoothly. But once I tried...

I will admit, this isn't exactly my favorite primer. In all honesty, it's quite mediocre in my opinion. It's not bad, I can see why some people like it but in comparison to other inexpensive...

This is the most standard primer you can get. I have pretty oily skin, and for me, it helped with foundation wear, but I definitely prefer my high-end foundation primers to this one because I can...

It makes all the difference to my make up! My foundation seems nicer and lasts longer with this primer - better than other more expensive primers. I would surely repurchase.
