sorry to be a buzz kill, but BEWARE! I immediately fell in love with this inexpensive (around $5bucks at my local Target), works like a miracle product. But sad to say it made my acne-prone skin ...

I used it as face primer and my face brokeout. With oily skin I need to stick w/mattifiers and matte foundation w/ powder to set. But I do love to use this over my moisturizer at my neck line,...

I suppose you take a chance when you use a product other than the application it is intended for. I used the Monistat gel on my face as a primer. It felt lovely, all smooth, made my makeup go on...

This is a good makeup primer. I only use a tiny amount on my cheeks and nose (the places that are oily and have large pores). This really prevents shine from creeping over my face without having to...

This is the best primer I have found yet. Amazing that this is so cheap-I've paid alot more for name brands that did not work as good as this. I bought mine at Walgreens.

I use this every day with my MMU. I have tried a couple HE primers and was always disappointed with the results. A friend recommended this and I have used it ever since. I am on my second tube.

So, like so many others I tried this as a facial primer. I've decided this is probably good for a once-in-a-while application rather than every day. It does make my makeup apply smoother, and does...

I felt a little odd buying something meant for chafing (vaginal, no less) for my face. But the odd feeling quickly wore away. I bought this huge tube for $5. As much as I love Relvon's primer from...
