    this is the first primer I tried and I love it. it's so light and doesn't make my skin sticky or oily or dry afterwards. defiantly worth my money!

    I feel like this is simply one of those products that has a very large spectrum of effectiveness - it works miracles for some and is terrible for others. For me, I get oily about mid-day and...

    pretty bad for a primer esp the price is not that cheap either. such a waste of money. Better invest in a more expensive but better prime like laura mercier. anyway, i wont buy it again

    I love this primer, but I almost have to budget to buy it. This is my twice yearly treat, other than that I stick to mac's prep & prime spf 50, not as expensive, and almost as good!

    Amazing primer. It fills in the fine lines, evens out the skin texture, feels like velvet (not greasy at all!), makes the application of foundation easier and makes your makeup lasts longer. I...

    This is great. I like that it doesn't make my skin feel sticky, and has (so far) been easy on my sensitive skin. I've only had experience with one other facial primer before (by MAC) but it felt...

    Great primer, it does what it says and isn't greasy or oily like some other primers can get, makes liquid foundation go on looking flawlessly and makes your makeup last longer and not melt off...

    I love this thing. I don't wear it on a daily basis though; only when I'm going to be out all day. The packaging is pretty swell too.

    I love the way that this makes my skin feel, and I understand that it contains peptides which boost skin's collagen production. I use the light formula, which is oil-free and white in the bottle. ...

    I have very oily skin, so when I read about this product I thought it would be miracle in a jar. Sadly to say it wasn't. I don't mind using it, I may get an extra hour out of my makeup from this...
