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!!

I have been using this primer for years since its release and no other primer has yet strayed me from it! Its finish is mattifying, lasts me about 8 hours before any oil peeks through my makeup. It is unscented. My only gripe is the packaging makes it hard to get what is left when the product is low. But I make a way haha!
Doesn't Work on Skin with Wrinkles

I'm 77 but still have oily skin. Smashbox Photo Finish Oil and Shine Control has been wonderful over the years, but I can no longer find it. I tried Photo Finish Control Mattifying primer with Salicylic Acid and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. It doesn't control oil AT ALL, plus it causes my makeup to gather in my wrinkles.

I bought this product and used it for 60 days and let me just be very honest. if you want a flawless base that won't show any shine for hours where applied, if you want a poreless look and many compliments on your base I recommend getting this in the cart ASAP!

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.
Just okay

I have used this product a few days and it kind of comes off right away when using a beauty blender so next I just used my fingers and it was better. But I didn't really notice a huge difference.
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.

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.

I had a brain lapse and bought this by mistake – meant to buy the NYX brand color correcting primer. $12 vs. $42… This junk is horrible! I want to throw it away but I paid so much for it, I’ll suffer until it’s gone! It doesn’t blend easily! It does not rub in. It does not provide full coverage – looks patchy – and this is after my normal skincare routine has fully dried.
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.

I just recently got this primer & instantly fell in love with it! It feels very lightweight on the skin & rubs in very easily! It's a great base if you have oily skin because it helps control your oils!
My favorite primer ever!

I've been using this primer for YEARS (back when the packaging was still light blue) and haven't found anything that compares. I have very oily skin and this primer prevents me from looking like an oil slick halfway through my day. It also doesn't feel drying or stripping on my skin and lays nicely under my makeup. I even use it on days when I'm not wearing face makeup for oil control! Even though it is on the pricier side, a little goes a long way and I will never regret spending the extra money on this primer!
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!!

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.

I have used the Smashbox Reduce Redness Primer for years and loved it. No matter how expensive it got, I would splurge because it worked and made my face feel amazing. The new formulation is nothing like the old. Where the old formula left my face blurred, poreless, and less red, the new version does nothing for redness and I end up feeling more oily after. I am so sad about this. Please bring back the original.
