    I suppose I'm in the minority here, but this primer really works for me. I use a super small amount just a drop or two and it covers my entire face. Leaves my skin soft to the touch and foundation...

    Absolutely terrible primer, I was so excited to try this. Unfortunately my actual foundation wouldn't stay on my face with this and it made my skin look scaley almost . Do not recommend I will...

    I'm not a huge primer fan, but I genuinely like this primer. I used to use the Benefit Porefessional Primer - at first it was really good but then I started hating it. Compared to the...

    Not a review about the primer, but about the photos you posted. Not sure about the primer, but as an RN, it looks as if you might have a staph infection. Hope you have seen a doctor.

    I wanted to like this, but I’m glad I didn’t waste my money on it and got a sample size. My experience with this was similar to the Maybelline Baby Skin primer. It made my skin smooth but it was...

    I do think this product helps my foundation stay on better... but I also think it made me have a ton of blackheads on my nose and Tzone. Its pretty much just silicone so what do you expect?

    I love this product. It makes your skin feel so smooth and does a good job keeping your makeup on longer.

    A tube of cheap silicones is essentially all this product is. That's not to say that silicones are terrible or worthless ingredients, they have their place -- many people prefer silicone-based face...

    Wow - I'm shocked by how much I like this. I'm used to Laura Mercier primers but this one blew me away. Left my skin smooth but with an oh so slightly tacky finish that lightly grabbed onto my...

    This is the worst primer I have ever tried. It is pure silicone and turns my makeup into grease city within one hour. I am so sick of silicone, I avoid it in my skincare and need to find a primer...

    This is the worst primer ever and ridiculously overpriced for what it is...pure silicone. Silicone is really bad for your skin in that it ages and it blocks pores, so if youre acne prone beware. It...
