Still not sure how I feel about this...
I got a sample of this product from Sephora, and since I used to use Cover FX foundation, I figured there was no harm in trying it out. For a mattifying, anti-acne primer, I have to saw I found the formula to be very oily feeling, and did not sink into my skin quickly at all. That said, my foundation applied just fine over it, so possibly the thickness of the product moisturizes your skin so your face doesn't feel the need to produce excess sebum. All the same, I'm not sure if I would purchase it, myself, since there are many other primers with salicylic acids in them that are probably less expensive.
I picked up a sample of this at my local Sephora. Wanted to try it first to make sure it didn't make me break out and would work for me. I really like the feel of it on my face - it is light and works well. To date no breakouts so I think that this is a keeper and am in the process of getting this!
This is one of my fave primers. The Anti-Blemish qualities drew me in and it actually works! It's not a super mattifying primer but it really helps cut the greasiness even though I still have to blot on my trouble areas. The texture is perfect - not as thick as the smashbox classic primer and not to slippery either. It doesn't really fill in pores so I think that's one of the down sides. However, I find that with all silicone-based primers, my pores tend to get a little clogged up and I end up with tiny bumps on my forehead. This formula helps to reduce and sometimes completely prevent that from happening. I would highly recommend for those who are mildly acne prone but I'm not sure how it would perform for those who have very acne prone.
This primer doesn't help my acne prone type skin. It definitely isn't a primer that you put all over your face. I only use it to put over blemishes for the salicylic acid. It is not worth the price at all.
I wanted to try this primer even though I was looking for one with SPF. The first time I used it I made a mistake and put a lot on my face and made a greasy mess.With this one a little goes a long way which is good because product lasts longer. Once I applied the right amount it was really good. It was long lasting and kept my makeup from melting. I like that it has the acne treatment and no bad reaction on my sensitive skin. Four stars because the container appeared half full when I got it. I had to squeeze hard to get some product out the first time. Overall good primer, will repurchase.
I actually use this primer as an everyday spot / area treatment (and layer other primer on top). I like that it contains salicyclic acid to help treat my acne-prone skin. I've experienced no bad side reaction from using this. It's lightweight and non-oily so it's a great product to use ! I do find it a little pricey at almost $40 CAD. I'm still currently buying it though because i use so little on my face, so one tube lasts for a while !
I have always had acne so when I tried this, I trusted it right aay, I am comfortable with this product, it works well with sensitive skin
I absolutely love this primer. Whether my skin is in good shape or looks horrendous from breakouts, it moisturizes them and actually helps to conceal them by prepping the skin for my application of foundation. My foundation adheres better and just glides on and the salicylic acid helps to treat and heal my skin even though I'm wearing makeup. I think this primers is essential. This primer is perfect for those with oily skin and have acne. Provides a nice matte finish before putting on your foundation. Foundation just glides on and helps to prevent further breakouts while you're wearing makeup. A silky fluid serum product that is definitely a perfect match for those searching for a primer but don't want to add an extra layer that may cause skin to break out or to change the shade of your foundation. I have tried many primers and keep coming back to this one. It has never caused a breakout or a reaction or made my foundation slide off my skin like other primers have.
I recently started using primer and really like the lightweight feel of this product and the fact that it also contains an acne treatment. This primer is not oily or greasy which is great for those with oily, acne prone skin.
