    This is the only primer I have used which did not cause breakouts. In the past I've tried Smashbox, Laura Geller, LM (not oil-free), Benefit. LM's Oil-Free primer provides a fantastic base for all...

    So I heard either positive or neutral comments on this primer before I bought it earlier this June and I found that this did NOTHING to my oily skin! While my skin did not break out, I found that...

    I tried this oil-free version of the LM Primer I love, to see if it would work better with my oily Tzone which I find a challenge to keep oil-free. Unfortunately this caused me a lot of breakouts...

    Not a product that 'wowed' me. Felt like just another moisturizer (but worse). I don't like primers to begin with and this just proved why. Didn't use it as much..still full and is just lying...

    Doesn't break me out like the original primer, and keeps my make-up looking fresh all day.

    This works very well with my BE products and it hasn't contributed negatively to my pimple problem. It also provided better coverage than the Smashbox primer, which I felt was greasy. UPDATE:...

    This seems to be ok - better than I expected, seemed to minimise my pores. Can't say that the foundation stayed on any longer or went on any better, but I think it did!

    This primer has a less silicone, greasy feel to it compared to other primers. It feels more like a lotion and absorbs quickly. It does not exaggerate any oily conditions in my t-zone. I don't...

    Even it's oil free but I think it's still oily me. I'm not sure if I'd buy again. If there's better one, I'd try the new one.

    This is probably one of the better primers that I have used. I was using Smashbox photo finish before this and was disappointed at how clogged and heavy my skin felt, not to mention that it made my...

    The one thing about this product is that it is not as expensive as Smashbox's Oil-Free Primer. That's a big plus. Another big plus is that it actually mattifies me much better and doesn't allow...

    Makes skin soft and smooth, allowing no dry pathes when foundation is applied, not the best for oil control. Is there any primer that works for that? I use this primer over dermalogica oil control...

    I think this does help your foundation to go on a bit smoother and last a bit longer but I wouldn't say the results are dramatic. It's costly so would probably be one of the first products I'd...
