Skin Perfecting Primer Acne and Shine Control 4.5 5 15 15

The BEST non-makeup MAKEup I have an oily t-zone and dry cheeks, so i usually only use powder for makeup. (I hate foundation) But powder never completely covers my skin and it always comes off by mid afternoon. started using this under my powder and the oil never came through! The powder stayed on my face! Like Magic! My blemishes are not bright red and they are smaller, plus it keeps my skin moisturized and protected during the day! its so great especially those mornings when i'm running late! March 13, 2013

This product does what it says it does. I bought this product because I do not like using makeup but I needed something to treat and cover my acne as well as the scars it leaves behind. Also, because I bought the Acne Complex starter kit along with this primer, and I thought that if the acne treatment works than, I will have to deal with uneven skin tone. This product provides me with medium coverage, it evens my skin tone and others cannot tell that I'm wearing makeup. It also minimizes my pores. I enjoy just knowing that it does more than one job. I have not used it in conjuction with a foundation or anything of that sort but I'm sure I will look even better when I do. March 9, 2013

Love it I have combination skin. Forehead is dry and the rest gets super oily. I have some problems with acne and scars. When I wear foundation no matter how much moisturizer I put on first it tends to look cakey in certain spots, so i've been looking to get a tinted moisturizer, BUT they make my skin super oily. When I saw this product I knew I had to try it and picked it up on a trip to Ulta. After wearing it today I am in love!! I put the oil control mattifier on first and then applied this. It went on flawlessly and gave my skin a light coverage and glow. I did add a light touch of concealer to my acne spots and applied my powder and I was ready to go. I love how light it is. It didn't feel like it was clogging up my face. My face did end up oily like it normally does at the end of the day, but that is normal for me. I love how this makes my skin look, so it's a keep in my book! I don't think I'll ever go back to foundation again, ok well maybe for a super special event, but this is my go to everyday product now.

Great tint! My skin: uneven, acne scarred, occasional breakouts (used to be full blown acne), congested forehead and sides of mouth. Great ingredients! Tint leaves my skin dewy without looking shiny, tones down my redness, good to know that its a makeup that contains ingredients to help combat acne! :D While still being gentle enough to use along with my prescription retin-a. I recommend this product constantly to my breakout prone clients who won't ditch the heavy makeup. Mix it with a little liquid foundation for a heavier coverage if you must, but all I do is apply this, a spot treating concealer, and I'm good for work! However, boo! no SPF :( <3, an esthetician November 26, 2012
