Acne Treatment.Directions
Directions: Apply a thin, even amount to moisturized skin prior to makeup application. Allow to set for 30 seconds before applying foundation. Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.Inactive ingredients

I like the texture and the quality. Works well. I wouldn't recommend getting it shipped though because it got roughed up in shipping and wasn't in its package when it arrived and was a bit scuffed up.

I wasn't a big fan of this product and won't purchase this product once I've finished it. I do believe there are other products I've tried that give a better luminous look and last longer than it did on me.

This sat in my drawer for a while when I first got it because I didn’t like how my makeup looked after using it…but…I decided to warm it up in my hands first and holy difference! 5/5!
It's nice

Honestly I haven't really noticed a major change in my blemishes since using it, but will continue to do so as my makeup sits well and lasts. nothing special in terms of my makeup finish or last but it's not bad either.
Does not do anything for pores

Simply does not do what it is supposed to do which is fill and blur pores. I could not tell the difference in the appearance of my skin with it on. I expected it to work similar to the Maybelline Baby Skin primer which is blurring, but this is not at all similar.
My favorite!

Works well with my other primers and prevents breakouts for me. I break out anytime I wear makeup so this is a game changer. I use a hydrating primer then this one and it works amazingly.

I bought this last week when I was running low on primer. I just used it this morning, and the results made me say "Wow!" and do a double in the mirror. I applied it after my shower, with just a little bit on my middle fingertip, and applied it all over my face right after my sunscreen. My skin remained matte throughout the entire day, and my skin tone looked even more even. It even soothed the redness that my cheeks. I didn't need three separate primers to cover shine, color correct, treat acne and redness-this did it all! So, if you use a separate primer to suit a bunch of needs, save yourself some money, and buy this one! Just remember that a little goes a long way.
I'm on my second container!

I love this primer and it's currently all I use. It feels so soft on my skin and leaves it smooth for foundation. I don't feel oily or greasy after using it. I haven't noticed anything smudging or moving on my makeup.
Great primer

I was skeptical about primers until recently (at over 50), but I was pleasantly surprised. It makes my make-up go on so much smoother and the luminous is apparently good for my spots. In any case, this has become part of my make-up routine to stay.
