    So, I don't hate this product. I mean, I wouldn't pay $20something dollars for it but it's actually not half bad. I got two tubes because they are now discontinued. I paid $15 for two tubes and I...

    Pure garbage. Actually increases your oil production and wreaks havoc on your face make-up. Please believe the other reviews (I didn't at first!) and stay away from this product. Reformulated or...

    This crap made me break out. I then tried the Blemish Ready primer which was worse and because of these two products, a terrible acne snowball is in effect and I am still trying to clear the break...

    This primer is terrible, it feels like glue and has a funny smell. Once applied and dries it feels like your face as gone all tight. As soon as you apply foundation (any foundation I must add) the...

    I'm trying to present a balanced opinion here, although my gut says it's a 2 lippy product. It's white and sticky... It sometimes leaves immovable white dots on your face if you don't rub it in...

    Total BUMMER is all I can say about this product!! I have oily, acne prone skin, with visible acne at the moment. I purchased this looking for a solution to my shiny complexion. So I turned to no...

    This product was my first primer and has given the worst impression of primers that I refused to buy any for the last few years. It felt like a mask, tight and flaked off the skin. I thought my...

    I struggled with this product at first, as it seemed to make applying foundation impossible! However I think it really does control my oily skin. I apply a tiny bit to my t-zone, let it dry for a...

    Came across a decent priced high-end primer at Sephora $28 CAD and thought this would work well as the lady at the counter also suggested it. I get extremely oily over the summers and was looking...

    First of all, this is a water-based primer and thus it'll get along only with water-based foundations, otherwise the different formulations will fight each other and as you know oil is hydrophobic...
