This was the first primer I ever used. It's average, nothing to great. I don't know about the oil-free claim, because frankly, it didn't do nothing to control oil. Great packaging but way too...

I am at the end of my 3rd tube now. Let's see. I like this primer because it does not breakout my senstive skin. I am sure there are other primers out there better or cheaper (silicone based?)...

I have combination skin. Slightly dry on the cheeks and an oily t-zone. This product worked much better than the normal Laura Mercier Primer. It definitely kept my t-zone matt all day - with no...
