Not worth it
I don’t see much of a difference? It doesn’t do what the photos and reviews say it does.

Great, lightweight primer
I have very oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin and was looking for a new product without fragrance, alcohol or anything that may flare up my skin (clean brand) with the consistency of the Skin Defence Primer. Previously, I used a brand with the same texture and consistency (Tula Brighten Up Primer), but it was discontinued. I am so happy I have found this product, as it is very, very similar. I love the cooling, mattifying, smooth feeling of this primer. It feels amazing under my makeup and is the perfect base. Because my skin is so oily, I think it could be slightly more mattifying to last longer; however, it's nothing a little setting powder can't fix. Great product! Please never get rid of it.

Great product, bad packaging
I love the product and how it feels on my skin. The packaging is super inconvenient and hard to get product out once you’ve used it. The primer didn’t make me break out or irritate my skin. Please change the packaging to some type of silicone or plastic not this metal material.

Refreshing and cooling feel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer is great overall – it has a refreshing, cooling sensation on application that I love. It still leaves pores slightly visible, but coverage is acceptable and it layers nicely under makeup. Lightweight texture, doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. Would repurchase.

Awesome Primer - Highly Recommend!
I hated using primers because I never saw the benefit until I came across this product. You don't need to use a lot, it is very lightweight, makes your pores disappear instantly, make up goes on smoothly and stays in place all day long. This is truly a miracle product and is also good for your skin. It is very important to let the primer set on your skin for about 1-2 minutes before applying foundation. Best primer ever, highly recommend!!!
