This was the very first primer that I ever tried. I thought it was appropriate when I looked at the price.
I have oily (combination skin) and this primer didn't help to minimise shine throughout the day. I tried it with and without a setting spray and my make up seemed to make it to the end of the day when I had the setting spray on. Without the setting spray, I found myself having to blot and freshen up almost every 2 hours. This is not ideal for a person who works all day.
I've tried it on my t-zone only and on my entire face too and I end up with the same shine and admin regardless.
It does help to reduce the appearance of my pores and in turn my make up feels like it sits on my face better. This paired with a good facial expert brush for application seemed to be a good combination.
It probably works better for people who have dry skin, but I would not repurchase it again.
It's priced reasonably well.
