What the gurus are saying

Gurus appreciate this as a thoughtfully formulated primer that balances makeup performance with skincare benefits. It effectively blurs pores, controls oil, and doesn't feel heavy on skin, earning praise for being respectful to the complexion. The main limitation is that it appeals primarily to makeup wearers; those who rarely use primer or makeup found it unnecessary.

"This is the Glow Recipe Strawberry BHA Pore Smooth Blur Drops. It does say it has salicylic acid in it, BHA, but I honestly don't find this irritating."

"This is really a nice primer. It is definitely something that is meant to grip onto your makeup, make it last longer, make it apply a lot smoother while still allowing your skin to breathe. It has a little bit of oil controlling property to it, helps your makeup not break up in the middle of the day, but it's not spacky and silicone to the point where it feels like you have this thick layer on top of your skin before you've even done your makeup. I think that it really is skin respectful."

"Silicone-free primer that refines pores over time, instantly blurs and balances oil for a natural soft focus satin finish. For the pore blurring, they use Tapioca and Rice to help reduce pore size. I think it's good at absorbing excess oil stuff as well, and to help with even makeup application. It has Encapsulated BHA and Strawberry enzyme and plant derived pore minimizer and Strawberry leaf extract. I don't use this. I don't really feel the need to. I don't wear makeup really that much, and when I do, I barely ever use a primer. But why not have skincare benefits in all of your steps? I don't really have much to say about it because I don't really use it. It's probably the product I use the least because I never really have to."
