This is the first primer I've used, so I can't compare it to anything unfortunately - except using no primer. Comparing it to that then, it definitely does keep makeup on longer and does help with...

If you have oily and acne prone skin, a better bet is the Smashbox photo finish light primer. I tried this one after using the light primer and it felt way too greasy on my face and didn't absorb...

Love! I have super oily skin and this stuff makes amy makeup last, and doesn't break me out. As far as I can tell, it seems to work pretty well with the acne-control. It's also really lightweight,...

Love this primer. It blends very well and makes my foundation look flawless. The staying power is amazing as well, I work 11 hour shifts and my makeup last all day. I will defiantly be repurchasing!

Love this stuff. Makes my makeup look smooth and poreless. It is a bit spendy, but so worth it for me as most primers don't do anything or just break me out. I have very acne prone skin and this...

I enjoy this because it holds my makeup all day and it doesn't make me breakout as much as other products. I cannot complain about this product other than the price, but it's still worth it. So far...

I consider this to be much more effective skin care / blemish control product, than primer. It contains 2% salicylic acid at low ph, which makes it really good for blemish prone skin. However, that...
