I received this product for free from influenster but this review is my own. This is a good silicone primer if you need a silicone primer in a hot or high humidity environment. ...However, since it’s silicone based, any of my water based foundations I can’t wear overtop of this because the primer starts pilling underneath....Good but pricey silicone primer

I've tried various silicone-based primers, but they always clog my skin. ...This is a water and glycerin based primer, so it won't have the same blurring effect as a silicone-based primer, but I prefer that as it's more lightweight and comfortable (glycerin also grips on to foundation).

Great primer!...It’s almost like it’s silicone, I don’t even know how to explain it.
