    Pros: Really works for dry skin as a hydrating primer, promotes longevity of base products whilst adding moisture. Unscented. Little goes a long way. Cons: Discontinued according to the staff...

    I've been on a hunt for a primer that isn't too drying on my combination sensitive skin. This actually works well to keep it hydrated and my skin looks great but unfortunately it breaks me out....

    This isn't my favorite primer but I do really like it. My face is EXTREMELY oily. I use a very matte fndt that fills in my pores (Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse) so I would never use this on most...

    I was given a sample of this to try as I was looking for a primer for very dry skin that doesn't accentuate my wrinkles. I applied it after using vivierskin serum 20 vitamin C, followed by Just...

    It really irritated my skin, my entire face turned red and itchy. I don't even have sensitive skin. Way overpriced.

    I debated between giving this a rating of 4 or 5 lippies, but finally decided on 5 because this primer really is THAT good if you have dry to extremely dry skin. I also have skin that is insanely...

    This comes out as a thin liquid fluid, with almost no scent. My dry skin can sometimes suck the moisture out of a foundation which will make my skin look dry and patchy. This will create a barriere...

    I used this while I was on roaccutane and found that my matte foundation was not sitting great on my overly dry skin. It's an amazing product, it's so light and felt very hydrating on my skin!...

    I have dry-combination skin. This product was okay for my dry t-zone, but left the rest of my skin feeling very oily. I couldn't wait to wash it off. Perhaps better for someone with a true dry-skin.
