Would I buy this product again? Yes! I would cry if this was ever discontinued. I don't play around with foundation very much. I have oily skin, large pores and lines on my forehead and between my...

So very unimpressed with this stuff. Really wanted to like it after reading great things on another board. It smooths on nicely and has a lovely texture (if you can ignore the strange gritty...

I bought both versions of Smashbox's primers and while I do think they helped smooth out my skin before applying foundation, my main complaint was that neither formulation ever truly dried on my...

I have never used the original Photo Finish, so I can't comment on the difference. But, I am very acne prone and this has not broken me out at all! I use this under MMU (Alima), and I find it...

Although I LOVE the way this primer goes on smoothly onto the skin, and it has the benefit of SPF 15... i HATE the packaging! The packaging makes the primer so hard to get out after awhile so I...

I got it as part of the TSV and love the Guru that came with it. Unfortunately, did not like the Photo Finish that came with the kit (big downside of kits). It was hard to pump out (as many...

I initially used the Smashbox photo finish primer without the Dermaxyl complex, and I thought it was wonderful - UNTIL the pump stopped working half-way through the bottle. I thought it was a...

I actually really like this product. Yes, it feels oily, and frankly gross, going on. But the feeling subsides in a few seconds. I like it b/c, other than on my very oily nose, my foundation...

I actually prefer the regular primer over this one. I couldn't tell much difference in how they looked on my skin, but this one is very gloppy in the bottle. I'm having a hard time getting the...

I bought a new tester bottle from ebay of the Smashbox Photofinish with Dermaxyl because it was worth the extra few dollars from their regular primer price, and loved the fact it has anti-aging...

I got this as a part of a QVC TSV because I'd never tried any Smashbox before and the TSV seemed like a good place to start. <p> I have dry/combo skin and I absolutely, positively hate this...

Eeeeek, sorry to disrupt the great ratings streak this product has, but this just didn't do anything for me and I swapped it away. I tested it for several days on just one side of my face and just...

I love Smashbox primers and use the bronzing primer daily, but I found this to be useless. I have fine lines under my eyes and one crescent shaped smile line on the left of my mouth. I already use...

I have wrinkles under my eyes, probably as a result of decades of smearing on concealer to cover my dark circles. Unfortunately, the concealers that cover the circles emphasize the wrinkles. ...

I'm very pleased with this. For women who are wondering if the regular Photo Finish with Dermaxyl won't do the same job, this is a little different. After just using the new Photo Finish around my...
