    Made my face breakout in 8 hrs. I put it on in the morning with nothing else on my face. Horrible. Returning. I've been wearing makeup for 26 years and I've never had this happen.

    Left my face looking less dehydrated. Works as advertised and isn’t irritating on sensitive skin.

    I have used this primer for years, and absolutely love the way it makes my skin feel so silky smooth. It really reminds me of DHC primer. I only use it alone, or with the bronzing drops when I simply want a soft effect on my face on the no makeup look days.

    I bought this and loved primer itself until the pump broke. Now I'm scooping it out with a qtip so I don't waste it. Seems like a lot of plastic packaging that doesn't work well.

    This toner has a greasy texture when you put it on. But, I find it moisturizing on my face and love it.

    Dry Skin

    I’ve learned that this product is mostly for dry skin. It doesn’t dry out your skin and it feels very smooth on your face if you have dry skin. If you don’t have dry skin, it might have a bit weird of a texture and might not work for you!

    Too slippery

    stpauley - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
    This primer goes on easily but retains a slippery surface for quite a while. I wait to apply concealer over it. I think that the slipperiness causes makeup to "slip." I find my concealer seems to last only an hour or so. Would not buy again.

    do NOT use this. this primer is horrible, not only is the consistency greasy and thick, it feels horrible on the skin. makeup slips right off of it. that’s not my main complaint tho, i wore this primer for about 8 hours to a concert, woke up the next morning COVERED in white heads all over my forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. i spent about an hour popping them all. DO NOT BUY.

    This product is an ok primer but it has the weirdest texture ever. It’s like liquid chalk if that makes sense? It’s weird and I don’t know how to feel about it.

    I LOVE this primer. It blurs out my pores the second I prime my face. My only issue is that I thought the pump didn’t work but turns out, the attachment inside was not there🤔 so I basically have to scoop it out with a brush. Item was completely sealed when I purchased it. Would I buy it again? Yes! With or without a working pump lol

    I like it. It works well and it’s reasonably priced. The only downside is the cap doesn’t stay on super well.

    It definitely gets the job done and it doesn’t irritate my skin. However, I’m not sure if i like the texture. Maybe I’m being nit picky, but if you don’t like somewhat greasy textured primers, you won’t like it. I don’t hate it, but I don’t think will purchase it again.

    For me this product had a learning curve. I was using two pumps at first and my makeup was pilling and didn't look nice. With one pump it works well.
