Personally, I didn`t see any benefits to using this to prime my face. In fact I still remain unconvinced in general with regards to using primers. I find moisturiser does the same job if not better.

I am in my mid 20's with oily, light tone skin and green eyes. My hair is red, normal with coarse texture.
The concept is great, a primer than can help control blemishes? What more could you ask for?
After applying this primer I have to admit my skin does look that little bit smoother, and the staying power of my makeup is greatly improved, but I definitely would not say it has helped on the blemish side of things. I mean, don't get me wrong, the primer is brilliant but yanno...Just At the things it's not quite advertised for?

I am in my late teens/early 20's with oily, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is medium brown, processed with normal texture.
When I saw this product, I was delighted - a primer specifically targeted for blemish control infused with vitamins, salicylic acid, and tea tree - things I knew would be good for skin like mine. Admittedly, I was a little surprised to see the directions for use on the product describing itself as a 'medication', and suggesting application 1-3 times a day; however, I guessed this product was something more than a standard primer, and I did want it to be blemish controlling after all, and it was! I also liked the way it disappeared into my skin without resulting in any drying or greasy effect.
