Great product and keeps the products you put on afterwards in their place all day. Love it!

Nice product.

I love this product! Glides on easily and makes a nice surface for foundation. Love it!

It’s a very nice consistency and not sticky or too thick. I think it does help smooth my large pores, but I’ve had better results with some other primers. Good value though!

It was very light and easy to use

I half expected this primer not to work with either my base HA serum, or under my foundation- surprised it managed both perfectly. I think the trick might be dry time / absorption. I applied my favorite serum and let it absorb for 15 min. Then, I shook the bottle as instructed and applied one small pump to my cheeks, nose, and forehead. Immediately I could see the effect of the Matte finish - it removed the sheen left by my serum and blended in seamlessly. Then after waiting another 10 minutes (did my hair), I dabbed on my favorite foundation with an egg-shaped sponge and not only did it not streaking or pull or lift, it allowed my foundation to float nicely with no shiny finish. It might be the dry time between applications as the key to layering different products. The final result was a smoothe finish with less sheen. I was pleased with the quality and amount of product for the price.

I'm not someone who typically wears primer under foundation. I like to wear them better without, but for the sake of this review, I wore this primer under my foundation. I wear a 24 hour long wear matte foundation because within an hour, the oil in my skin is leaking through and breaking down my makeup. I mention this because it's important to have as much information as possible. I am 43 years old and have minimal, fine lines with no sun damageThis primer wore really well under my go go, everyday foundation. I waited approximately 5-10 minutes before applying my foundation with a beauty blender. The formula did not affect the finish, or the application of my foundation, which went on easily and beautifully. The primer did not pill, nor did it interfere with the foundation. There is no odor and it feels like it sinks into your skin. I like to do my own skin care so I'm not a fan of it my makeup, but this does offer COq10 and all sorts of other skin helpers. I feel like for 34.00 dollars, you actually do get a lot of this product. I've spent more on smaller primers only to be disappointed.I do have large pores (ugh) and I did feel like this lessened the appearance of them. I like to wear this without makeup more actually.
