Not worth it

I don’t see much of a difference? It doesn’t do what the photos and reviews say it does.

Great, lightweight primer

I have very oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin and was looking for a new product without fragrance, alcohol or anything that may flare up my skin (clean brand) with the consistency of the Skin Defence Primer. Previously, I used a brand with the same texture and consistency (Tula Brighten Up Primer), but it was discontinued. I am so happy I have found this product, as it is very, very similar. I love the cooling, mattifying, smooth feeling of this primer. It feels amazing under my makeup and is the perfect base. Because my skin is so oily, I think it could be slightly more mattifying to last longer; however, it's nothing a little setting powder can't fix. Great product! Please never get rid of it.

Refreshing and cooling feel

This primer is great overall – it has a refreshing, cooling sensation on application that I love. It still leaves pores slightly visible, but coverage is acceptable and it layers nicely under makeup. Lightweight texture, doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. Would repurchase.

Different, but good

This primer was quite the experience, but I liked the results. I will say, the texture of this primer is a lot different than what I’m used to. It takes a minute for it to break down and absorb into your skin, so I’ve warmed it up with my fingers to speed up the application. It kind of moves around your skin at first. It can feel heavy on your skin, so I was suggest using just a small amount at first until you see how your skin reacts to it. It does have a strong fragrance, which I’m not fond of, but others make like it. But, once I figured this primer out, my makeup sat beautifully under it, and it lasted through most of the day. This primer definitely takes some getting used to.
