Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch Makeup Primer

I don't use this daily, only on the odd special occasion, but if I did, I can see this lasting forever as a little goes a very long way, dispelling any doubts I had when purchasing such a tiny sized product (0.5 fl oz). As a primer it does the trick. Pores - especially on my nose, and fine lines are instantly blurred, creating a good base for my foundation. I must stress though that you really don't need to use much because if you do it has the tendency to make anything applied on top slide right off. At the right amount you will get a good base for foundation that will help makeup stay on longer, whilst leaving a nice matte finish, or as I discovered I can just use a setting powder on top and not require anything else for an 'enhanced natural' look - useful if you don't have the time to apply the works. It's a very silicone-heavy primer with no real skin benefits, just cosmetic ones that last only until you wash your face at night. Other than vegetable oil and some Vitamin E, there is nothing of benefit in here, just a long list of chemicals and FOUR types of silicone (those like myself who cannot tolerate silicones beware!), hence why I try not to use it too often. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

I have used this product for years, and I often joke with my girlfriends that it is my "spackle". Great at smoothing out large pores on my nose and fine lines around my lips. I've been told that no other line of makeup carries a product like this, and I have found this to be true. I use it sparingly......a little goes a long way. Prepare to be amazed at the flawless finish you will achieve!

I’ve tried many primers over the years, and this one is my new favorite. I’m on my second container. Originally, I got it as a sample. It’s a thick consistency, but a little goes a long way. When I put it on after my moisturizer it smooths everything out, gets rid of any shine, and my makeup goes on really well. My makeup doesn’t cake or smear. It really was an amazing find. I’m a big fan of Clarins.

This broke me out, didn't help at all with enlarged pores around nostrils. Just blurred my freckles a bit and sat on top of skin. Beaded up when I put my foundation on. I was so frustrated I threw it in the trash. That was dumb of me, I should've gotten a refund. I later learned from a tv beauty show that you can use this on the top surface of your hands to blur age imperfections. My loss all around. Also, I found it very strange that with such a dense cream it's very uncomfortable to have to dig it out of jar and then it gets under fingernails.

I use this cream on my eyelids to smooth away crepiness. It really works. Also works on the lines on my upper lip. Great stuff!

I have been using this cream as a primer before applying a foundation for many years and it really works. It minimizing fine lines, wrinkles, especially around the eyes. I highly recommend this wonderful product.

I have tried many primers and this is the best primer ever. Seriously. I could not recommend this more! I use it every single day religiously and it makes my skin look absolutely flawless. I am 23, have a light skin tone with a normal to combination skin type. It doesn't matter what skin color or skin type you have this would look amazing on everyone. I wear this on no makeup days and it just looks so amazing. Clarins is my absolute favorite line. I put this base over the double serum and the sensitive day lotion and I'm so impressed! If you buy anything buy this!

I've been using this for years to camouflage my icepick scars and some huge pores. Sadly, it's like filling in the potholes that are the pavement of my face. I wish it wasn't so expensive.

This product by Clarins first came to me in a sample. If you are needing to smooth a few lines or imperfections, this is your product. It works wonderfully as advertised, which is refreshing! The jar is small, but a little goes a long way. Foundation may not even be needed at times. Request a sample and see if you don't agree. I plan to always keep this product in my skin care repertoire.

When I started using this primer I thought that it was unusually thick but pretty good. Then I went on vacation without it. Big mistake. I realize I can't be without it. My pores look so much smaller and my skin so much smoother with this primer. I can't live without it.

Works great over sunscreen (Clarins) Goes on heavy but disappears, never know it's on, fills all those lines and imperfections

This product is amazing! I have been using it for a few years to minimize pores on my nose and lines around my mouth and chin. I will seriously lose it if this ever gets discontinued!
