    I had used this product for a few months and I don't think it helped my skin much. I put it on under my foundation and I still found that my after a few hours my foundation looked really dry and...

    I will admit I like the actual finish of this product paired with the bare escentuals foundation. It is the after-effects of "Prime Time" that I do not like. Specifically, I am referring to...

    It smells like glue, has the consistency of glue, and if I bothered, I'm sure it'll taste like glue too. So, I assume it works (and it does) because of course the mineral powder sticks evenly to my...

    I really like this primer. Not to bad of a price either. If you want a good primer you have to fork up the money for it. I love the way my skin feels after and one pump really does cover the whole...

    This product helped a little with greasiness but didn't do much for making my pores look smaller. I would suggest it for those who are just looking to combat greasiness not for anyone looking to...

    This was my first foundation primer, and I remember being so excited when I got it. One pump is enough for my whole face. It makes my skin feel smoother, so my mineral foundation goes on better and...

    This is the first primer that I've ever used and it was okay. It does give you a smooth look and my face does not get all that oily. If I rub this on my face too much, it starts to flake...I...

    I received this as a gift. It doesn't help with oil control and makes me break out.

    it makes my skin smooth and foundaion application better, but it doesn't help with oil control at all. it might actually make it worse.

    It make my face so silky smooth. It controls the oil in my t zone and helps my foundation stay put. It doesn't make me break out at all. I'd definitely purchase again.
