Decent job at pore minimizing!

I'm really enjoying this primer. I'm not a big fan of matte finishes but this isn't overly matter, I'd say it's more in between satin and matte. It's very soft and silky smooth and does a decent job of minimizing pores. A little bit goes a long way. Makeup applies well over it and doesn't pill or separate. Overall I'm happy with how it performs and I'd recommend this primer!

I am so sad that they changed the formula. This leaves a green/yellow cast and just doesn't cover the way the old formula did. Please bring back the old primer!!

Good quality. Coverage is amazing and durability as well. Only problem for me, as I do have a oily skin, was that let my skin to shine. But overall is a good product, very hydrating.

When I say this worked it’s because it really did. I tried to find me a good drugstore primer for oily skin but none were working. At the end I had to spend a lil more but it truly worked! I was giving up hope and accepting I’m just a big oily mess but this changed that. Spent a day at the LA county fair and at the end of the day my makeup was still on and I had little to no shine! (With no touchups throughout either) Bought the sample size but I will def be buying the full size when it’s done. Definitely worth the price in my opinion
Hate the new formulation

I was so disappointed in this new formulation. I received it in the mail and assumed it was just new packaging, but it doesn't go on as smoothly as the original. The original was cream to powder. This has the texture of sunscreen and has to be rubbed in. I hate it. It definitely doesn't make foundation go on smoother. I'll be trying to find another brand's dupe of the original from now on.
Color correct for real

This stuff does help conceal my redness on my cheeks and my chin due to acne. I like using this with another primer as it doesn't seem to be the best at making my foundation stay.
One of the best !!

I’ve been using Estée Lauder mattifying primer for years. I was a little skeptical to try something new, however I think I might have found my new go to primer! My makeup stayed in place all day and looked as if I had just applied it just as I did that morning.
The BEST Primer!

This is my holy grail ride or die primer I always reach for. By using this one, I get the added hydration I do not need from an extra moisturizer prior to adding a primer. But I also get the results of a primer and moisturizer in one! It has no scent and it a gel-like texture that sinks into the skin quickly. It's the only one I use these days and I have normal to dry skin and works beautifully all year long. I have zero pilling with this as well with various foundations and skin tints.
Not as good as the old one

I am so disappointed with the new smashbox anti redness primer. I had been using the old one for years and loved how well it covered my redness, how smoothly it went on and how silky my skin felt. The new formula is a real letdown - it leaves a sticky finish which makes it almost impossible to apply foundation over, doesn't cover redness well and doesn't go on smoothly. So disappointing as the old one was perfect. I'll be returning this and looking for a new anti redness Primer. Or, Smashbox - bring back the old one!!
So so disappointed

I can't tell you how disappointed I am with this product. I wore the previous smashbox green primer everyday for many years and was gutted it was discontinued. I have extreme redness and this new product makes absolutely no difference to it. It covers zero redness and leaves my skin looking oily and shiny. I'm really struggling to find a replacement for your previous primer. If you've any in stock that you would be willing to sell please let me know as I really loved it and unfortunately the new version just doesn't suit my skin at all.. Thanks 😊

I would give this a 4 star. The only reason why I don't think it deserves 5 is because the purple one is way better for my skin. I own a lot of primera and always go back to Smashbox.
Good but I have seen better

I have used the green primer for years. The new formula is very different. It does not go on well and does a poor job of minimizing redness. My foundation does not go on smoothly. I LOVED the product before it was changed. It was one of the few beauty products that I would be loyal to forever, regardless of cost. Oh well, first world problem, as they say. I will not be purchasing it in the future.

Disappointed that with the new branding came a change in formula/texture. It now goes on like a thick cream instead of the silk that use to be.
It's great!

I recently received a free sample of this in the mail after seeing a free pop up ad on Facebook and Instagram. I was able to choose which one I wanted to try out. I wanted to try out this one and some others,like a hydrating or matte one. But, I really wanted to try this one out. Can't wait to try it out soon! Hope it covers up my redness!
Please bring back old formula.

This new formula doesn't cover redness or my pores. The old formula was my "go to" product. My daughter and my mom also used it. But all three of us agree this new formula is just sub par. We won't be buying it again until you go back to original formula.
Awful new formula!

Let me start by saying I've been a loyal Smashbox user for 20 years. This new formula was absolutely awful for my Rosacea (the kind with bumps) and my aging skin (I turned 40 this year). It didn't cover up redness, didn't prime or smooth my skin, didn't blur fine lines and very difficult to blend in foundation (I use Smashbox studio skin 24 hour oil free hydra). I'm so dissatisfied and distraught trying to find another product that will work for my skin. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA.

I have combo skin that leans dry sometimes and oily sometimes. I used this primer on the dryer days and it didn't really hydrate that well. I wasn't blown away by it. Also, I didn't see any improvements in makeup application or longevity, which is a must for me to give 5 stars to a primer. This one was just ok to me and I likely wouldn't repurchase.
