    This product is fantastic as a face sun blockout. Even though it is a low SPF the fine film stays on your face and hands even after swimming in the surf. Great for kids and easy to apply as you...

    I am really not sure what this product is supposed to do. It is a primer, however I don't feel like it smooths my skin as it is supposed to do. Not like the other primers I have used. Also it is...

    I got this, for starters, on sale for something like $8, so that's not bad. I wanted something with a physical sunblocker and that it has zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to make an SPF of 15 is...

    Ew? This primer has an odd cheap smell to it and the texture makes it feel drying. As soon as i put this on my face, i can smell the odour and it does not correct my colour at all. It only makes me...

    I'm actually surprised looking at the decent reviews for this product. I have combination/oily skin and this product made my face a straight up oil slick. Putting it on without foundation feels...

    I bought this for the natural sunscreen ingredients. It does make skin look a tad paler, but foundation or bronzer helps with that. Chemical sunscreens may protect skin from UV damage such as...

    This stuff made my face and foundation look AWFUL. Since I tend to be ultra sensitive and dry, I thought a luminizing primer would be beneficial. Not so. Made 3 different foundationa look like...

    I had some mixed emotions about this product. I was looking forward to the luminosity and supposed skin benefits in it; however, when I applied this, it left my skin looking very white and,...
