What the gurus are saying

This primer's lightweight, serum texture earns praise for sitting smoothly over skincare without pilling, but the takes split sharply on how well it actually performs. One reviewer found it hydrating and comfortable under makeup, though they could not recall if it truly extended wear time. However, another creator experienced significant pore clogging, which suggests it may not suit everyone, particularly those prone to congestion. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, a patch test first would be wise before committing to full-face use.

"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."
