This primer does exactly what a good primer should do - it holds make up in place and maintains it all day. It's nice and smooth, with no greasy residue. My skin feels soft and is not clogged by the product. It almost feels natural, and does not need to be blotted throughout the day. In addition, it smells really nice and comes in nice packaging. It is, however, a bit expensive.

I love this. Its the only primer I've ever used that actually works - i've used Smashbox, MAC, Natio and Face of Australia.
It controls oil even in Australian summer under both mineral and liquid foundation and means I don't have to touch up or blot during the day. It definitely smooths and reduces the appearance of pores.
The packaging, smell and application are all great. My only beef with it is the price, at $52 its a big pricey. That said, I will still repurchase as it is unbeatable.
For reference I have combination/dehydrated skin with some T zone oil problems.

I love this primer. I have tried a couple but this is the best one by far. Other primers I have used just haven't felt like they help my skin at all, they either make me breakout or they feel like they slip off my skin after a couple of hours. This primer leaves my skin feeling so smooth and plump after i wash it off. It helps my makeup stay on as well and my skin feels fresh and slightly matted.
UPDATE: Has added fragrance made me break out after 5 days stopped using. luckily i only had the tester!!

I'm torn. I want to love or even like this product but I can't. It doesn't do anything to me, somehow. The only thing I love about it is the scent, it's refreshing and soothing when you apply it. But it doesn't do anything in terms of "priming" the face, or holds makeup, or prolong the foundation wear. It doesn't really sink into my skin either, just sort of sits there on the surface... hmmm... sad.
EDIT 22/08/10:
I might actually have given this product a 2nd chance and like it. It does need a little time to work, I have to really work it with my fingers on my skin and let it sink in before I apply any foundation. Then it gives me that flawless, poreless skin. It's a nice primer for no-spf because my other primer has spf, so I think if I can't find another good non-spf primer, I'd repurchase this. It has a really soothing refreshing scent to it which I love. It can be quite expensive, but get it during their sales and promotions. Worth a try, it really needs to be worked into the skin.

A great find. Puts a layer between the skin and makeup which allows the skin to feel cleaner and more protected from the cloggy feeling makeup can sometimes leave behind. Definitely keeps makeup where you put it in the morning. With a good foundation and a powder, you can use this as a perfect primer to build a flawless base. Highly recommended.

OMG this is fantastic! My foundation lasts so much better when i use this primer. I head about primers before, but the others that i used were always too greasy. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful primer by an emerging Australian cosmetics company. It glides on the skin and creates a light, thin veil, which leaves the perfect base for foundation or powder. My skin looks and feels softer and smoother when I apply this. Foundation glides on and seems to have much greater lasting power when I use this primer. The fragrance is very light and pleasant. Overall, a wonderful primer. I have just purchased a NARS primer, so I will report back on how this one stacks up.
