e.l.f. Blemish Control Face Primer - Large - 1.01 fl oz

Unfortunately this product is recommended for acne prone skin, but has one ingredient (stearic acid) that is pore clogging and acnegenic so it kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. As for all the other ladies in the reviews talking about how the product pills when putting make up on top of it I have a little advice: this is a water based primer, so you need to wear foundations that are water based to avoid this issue, if your foundation is oil or silicone based then they simply won’t work well with this product. It does say it has dimethicone in it which is a silicone, but I always go off of the first ingredient on the ingredient list which in this case is water and is most likely the main base for this primer. I hope this review helps someone, and maybe makes you feel like you didn’t waste your money on this product

I absolutely dislike this primer. Clumps up after applying. I have to constantly brush off my face before applying any other makeup.

I bought it with high hopes after trying the putty. I did NOT work, as soon as I started putting foundation on it started like flaking and peeling off. Very disappointed. Spent my money just to use it once.

I bought this primer with high hopes after using the putty primer. However, no matter how I put it on it ends up flaking off. Dissatisfied.

I wanted to like this so bad! I have red skin and I hoped this would help so my makeup would stay on longer and not be as red, and it kinda did that… BUT IT STARTED TO MAKE MY FACE PEEL! Even after waiting to put it on after my moisturizer it still would Pell and I would have to redo my makeup 😭

I love this stuff. I use it to treat small blemish eruptions and it dries them up great. I prefer the cream round container. Bring that back!

I just was not a fan of this product. It would pill up and flake off my face, no matter what. Even with super thin application and no other products on my face, it would come right off. I tried it multiple times, but eventually just threw it away.

Makes your makeup peel. Tried putting different makeup foundation on top but it just peels and flakes off when mixed with this primer.

Immediately no. Starts peeling once you put makeup over it.

Item as described. Arrived packaged in a bag so no spills. Daughter loves this product.

horrific!! peeled off my face the second i put it on.

i really wanted to love this product but.. i tried it on my hand to spot test it and it started peeling so i tried it on my face nothing to much , it’s really smooth but when i started creasing i started patting with a sponge and it started peeling which sucked ..

I got this thinking of would be great since I have acne prone skin but no matter what I tried this product with it peeled every single time. So now it's just sitting around with barely any used out of it and was a waste of money.

I have used this type of primer for years. Recently bought 2 bottles, one for my fiancee and one for me. When you apply it, as you rub it in, it starts shedding. The way cheap sunscreen does. It rolls into little sticky balls. What the heck, ELF?

Makes my skin look great on its own but pills if I put makeup over it

This primer is super hydrating and not too tacky but just enough to get a seamless blend no matter how you apply your products on top of it. I highly recommend this primer in full size or the mini.

After applying the primer itself will start to look like dead skin and flake off. Every foundation or concealer I've used with it will also start to flake. Does not work as a primer. I also don't think it works well as a skincare product as well. I've never seen even a little bit of difference while using this product

This primer pills so so bad. I’ve tried it many times with different foundations and every time it looks awful… But! i use it at night with my skincare cause i don’t wanna waste it and i think it’s making my skin better??

it does feel like it’s controlling my acne cuz my acne hasn’t come back but it’s pilling before i put anything else one and idk why! ugh!!! the putty primer way better

I love elf products and will buy others from them but I will not repurchase this. Made my makeup pill and did not work well at all. I tried multiple times!!
