What the gurus are saying

Gurus are mixed on this primer. While some appreciate its light, hydrating serum texture and non-peeling formula, others find it ineffective for full makeup wear and report significant pore-clogging issues. The consensus suggests it works better as a basic hydrating layer than as a substantive primer for heavy makeup applications.

"I much prefer to use other makeup primers from other brands, even though these are much cheaper and more affordable. The formulation just isn't quite there in my opinion, especially if you're someone that wears a lot of makeup and you're looking for that makeup primer. I just don't feel like these are it. But I will say I really did like this primer more than the high adherence silicone primer because this one is in a serum type of texture, more lightweight. It was hydrating. It never peeled with my skincare products or with my makeup. This formula also has silicone in it as well and it's supposed to give that soft smooth canvas prior to your makeup, allowing your makeup to have that longevity. The last time that I used this was like five or six years ago, so it's been a really long time. I truly cannot remember if I had that longevity with my makeup, but I can tell you that it did sit nicely on top of skincare and underneath makeup. If I had to recommend one or the other, I would recommend this one over the high adherence silicone primer because it just has that lighter texture."

"Their high spreadability fluid primer I just really disliked. I found it clogged the heck out of my pores, which is tough to do, but this one did it pretty easily."
