So far so go
Just started using this. I really like it so far. Not causing any dryness or showing fine lines and wrinkles. I will say I'm 45 so with that you know there is some aging starting!
I would not buy this product
It made the makeup feel too thick I couldn't wait to wash my face by end of day and face was too dewy
Great primer
Love the feel it's soft and smells good
yess buy this
this is my favorite primer by far!!! ive re bought this so much times get this i love it!!

I can't typically wear foundation (even with primer). This one allows me to use liquid foundation without problems since it conceals all of my pores.
