    Not my favorite

    I personally think this primer makes my foundation look clumpy and not smooth... I will definitely use the pore minimizer in the future.

    Favorite

    I’ve tried many primers and always return to this. Offers a smooth finish for makeup application and never clogs my pores

    Bottle pump doesn’t work

    I liked it when it came in a tube. Brand new out of the box and I haven’t been able to pump out a single drop.

    Good Primer, Not great pump

    The product itself is nice. Does what I want and looks great even without makeup. But the pump package is a disappointment, barely pumps, and doesn’t unscrew to get to the product. Creates too much waste for such a high price. Not sure I’ll buy again if it stays in the pump. I really really miss the tinted primer of years ago. At least that pump unscrewed to get the primer out with a q-tip at the end. But I really liked the tint to get a quick look without doing full makeup.

    Like product, Hate Packaging

    I have used PT Primer for many years, but am not a fan of the new container. (To be fair, I didn't love the older pump style either because the pump would stop working after awhile but it was easier to unscrew the top.) With this one, I cracked open the container after the pump stopped working only to find a large amount of primer that had collected and dried into a big, gummy, useless blob. It's not inexpensive, so I was pretty disappointed to find so much waste. With a tube, I'm able to trim the end off, giving access to more of the product when it gets low. I like PT Original but for now I'm going back to one that comes in a tube.

    Product is a 5 star but packaging is 1 star

    I’ve been purchasing this product for about 15 years and always loved it! I just purchased it with the new packaging and only got a few uses from it before it all turned to runny oil. Additionally, the pump itself seems flawed and you have to keep pumping to get anything out. I will not be purchasing this in the new packaging anymore and will switch to the smaller size in the tube.

    mixed review

    I love this primer but the bottle does not consistently deliver the product. I preferred when it was in a tube. With the bottle, only get one pump without having to shake and turn the top to try for a second pump.

    Something has changed...

    I have been a fan of this primer for years. With the packaging change, it seems there has also been a change to the product. It's a lot runnier than it used to be. The last one I had was runny, too, but then when it was almost out, the product at the end was very thick. Maybe it's the container causing the issue? I vote for going to back to a simple tube versus having a pump.

    Did the formula change?

    I love this primer and have been using it for a long time. With that said, something feels different about it since the packaging changed. Did the formula change? My experience with it is that it doesn't perform as well.

    Best primer

    I’ve tried others, but nothing else gives me that silky soft & smooth touch that this primer offers. Helps when applying powder foundation for a smooth finish

    Favorite product

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer is a new favorite of mine. The tube makes it easy to use. I don't feel like I'm wasting any product. I like the fact that it applies easily, is lightweight, and prevents my makeup from creasing. I'm interested to see how it performs during the hotter summer months.

    Love the primer, hate the pump

    I’ve loved this product for so long and recently got delivered the pump version. I hate the pump - it doesn’t mix and always squirts out and splatters everywhere. Also super hard to tell when it’s low or empty until it doesn’t come out any longer. Please bring back the tube!

    A new staple!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of the Prime Time primer in exchange for my honest opinion, and it completely changed how my foundation sits on my skin. It feels incredibly lightweight but instantly fills in pores and smooths out my complexion. I love that it doesn't feel drying, yet it grips my makeup perfectly so I don't have to worry about touch-ups during the day. My skin just looks softer and more airbrushed when I use this underneath my base. Definitely purchasing again!

    I love the primer before I put on my bare minerals powder foundation original. This is the first time I have received the primer in the new packaging. I do not like the new packaging. I repeat, I do not like the new packaging. You can’t get all of the primer out. I like it better in the original packaging. I’m using it anyway until I can find another product that is as good.

    Overall good product!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it! Has a blurring effect over pores which is nice. I wouldn't recommend for oily skin as it has an almost greasy feel, but works great on my dry skin.
