  • Great product, not for noticeable or deep pores/scars
Color: Acne Fighting Putty Primer Size: 0.74 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So I still use it in my daily regimen because it really does feel like it’s moisturizing. And I’ve had less breakouts since using it. It’s light feeling once you let it absorb on your skin and you don’t feel cakey or pasted on. It’s unnoticeable whether you use ONLY this and no make up on top while still hiding your pores and redness or whether you put makeup on. My only complaint which isn’t really the suppliers fault is a lot of people claiming it to help pock marks and scars as well. (Mind you mine are not very large, deep, or that noticeable) but I’m self conscious of them and feel like they are more noticeable with foundation on. I’d hoped this would help, as with all the “elf hacks” videos from other users claiming it vanishes these scars and dips(pock marks), and also an old piercing scar(that I have). it sadly does not. I’m only noting this for other potential buyers :) If you use too much of this product it leaves a weird streaky ugliness under the foundation you have to completely remove all makeup and product off your face and use way less. So use sparingly and slowly add more. Also to cover pores apply with fingers in a circular motion. The sponges and brushes absorb all product and leave streaky residue and do not fill pores. So use clean fingers. Overall it’s a great product and does what it claims too and helps with pores. Not heavy/ cakey, greasy or gross and no unpleasant smell. I love the fact that I’ve had next to NO breakouts using this as well. ... show more

  • Game changer
Color: Acne Fighting Putty Primer Size: 0.74 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve purchased this 3 times now and will definitely continue to do so! I enjoy the texture. There’s a nice, slippery consistency to it due to the silicones which create a smooth base for makeup. I have combination to oily, acne-prone skin and I’ve found that it creates a surprisingly glowy base for your makeup. If you have very oily skin, you might not like that. I do find it quite easy to blot excess oils away without disturbing my makeup - the primer does a really fantastic job at gripping the makeup in place without looking cakey. The green doesn’t do much in the way of color correction but the 1.8% salicylic acid is very effective at treating my skin over time. Personally, when I use this regularly, I experience less redness since I get noticeably less breakouts. Overall, super happy with this product! ... show more

  • Smoothes your skin
Color: Acne Fighting Putty Primer Size: 0.74 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Personally, it’s not for me because it makes my skin look so oily when it already naturally is. Also, acne-fighting? Maybe my acne is just too terrible because it doesn’t help at all, my acne has continued to be the same even from wearing this. But, it does smoothen your makeup SO WELL and SO MUCH. I love how it feels too, very creamy and cold and gives comfort knowing your pores are shielded. For it’s price? 8/10 ... show more

  • If you have oily skin…. It might not work….
Color: Acne Fighting Putty Primer Size: 0.74 Ounce (Pack of 1)
As someone with very oily skin, I was really hopeful that this would workout. It didn’t contribute to any breakouts which is really nice, but it definitely didn’t help with the oiliness or to help keep my makeup on.

  • Perfection
Color: Acne Fighting Putty Primer Size: 0.74 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I normally get acne, not very bad but still frustrating at 31. I have larger pores which are a pain when doing my makeup because you can still see them with the foundation. I normally had to use lancome primer because it was the only one that didn't make my face break out.... until I found this. This makes my face look beautiful and gives me a confident boost anytime I do my make up. I love it 🖤 ... show more
