    I recently picked up this product in an attempt to even out my sometimes sensitive, sometimes red, always combination skin. I find it does a good job of lessening the redness in my cheeks and makes my foundation application much smoother. It makes my skin less oily and I've found a little goes a long way. Overall, I would certainly recommend this product just make sure you pick it up when it's on sale!

    I found that this product did not make my skin look better. I actually found it to leave my normal/combination skin looking oily. I did not think this product worked well to remove redness, or to smooth the appearance of my skin; two things it says it will do. I love the packaging, it's so pretty - but that's where the positives of this product end for me. I would not suggest this product for anyone who has anything but dry skin. And I would only suggest it if you were wearing it under makeup. It seems to make a good hold. I'll stick with my Sephora Primer for the price of the Almay one.

    As a sufferer from chronic sensitive skin, eyes, etc., Almay products are a lifesaver. They don’t cause any sort of breakouts, or irritate my skin – which is of the utmost importance if I’ll be wearing their products all day. The primer is wonderful, it moisturizes and cools my skin and provides a smooth, even surface for further make-up application. As the ad states, I found it toned down redness and evened my skin tone enough that with foundation I felt nearly flawless. I would highly recommend this product!

    I am truly disappointed with this product. It is a decent primer and does brighten the skin, but does nothing to hide redness. If that is what you want it for, do not waste your money.

    so, I have been on a primer kick lately because the texture of my skin seems to be changing as I age... and so it seems I have placed all my faith in products, enough that I could open my own beauty dept, that I keep trying and trying...
    so far this one seems to not be bad, the blend of green and purple concealer does a nice job of hiding red spots and covering dark circles and any sallow shades...
    goes on smooth, not too greasy, does not cause make up to ball and covers well.. doesn't take half a gallon to cover and hide the way some others do...
    if you are seeing some changes in your skin and looking to blend out imperfections I say give this one a try.
