I bought this a few months ago off of drugstore.com, and I have used it quite a few times. It works well at smoothing the skin and slightly filling in fine lines and pores. It's not perfect, but...

Great inexpensive gel primer. Use sparingly for best results but works as well if not better than higher priced ones like Smashbox.

Well, it was worth a try-- I never regret a MUA "experiment" with little-known products, but I would NOT recommend this for anyone with acne-prone skin. After using it for two days, with no other...
