Confidence

I love this product as a primer and an acne fighter. I tend to break out with other primers due what I feel like could be the barrier of these moisturizing primers. I mean, a primer is meant to smooth your pores but also, keep your makeup in place longer. This product covers both my acne worry and smoths over my skin while holding my makeup in place. Win Win!

Expired

I didn’t use item right away. I still had my previous smashbox I wanted to finish, so missed the return window. But that’s maybe a few weeks later, when I finally got around to using it the item was neon yellow!!! Come to find out on the outside of the box the item expired in 2023!!! Thank god I didn’t put the item on my skin. I love this product and this is a repurchase, I use this daily. But this is on Macys.

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!

Best Primer Oily Skin

I switched to this primer during the summer since my face gets oily than usual and I love it! It goes well with my Maybelline foundation. Very smooth and a little goes a long way.
