Great blurring primer!

I got the chance to try the Grown Alchemist Skin Defense Primer for free thanks to @thisisbutterly and @grownalchemist in exchange for an HONEST review. To me this was a great primer and it was the perfect base for my makeup. Just reminder to always check the ingredients of your foundation— water based foundation then you use a water based primer. If it’s silicone based, make sure that you’re using a silicone based primer to ensure that it doesn’t separate. I loved that this primer was silicone free as it worked well with my foundation. This primer definitely kept my makeup on longer than if I wouldn’t have used any primer. Stayed on all day while I was at school and had a blurring effet. Overall, would recommend as this brand always has excellent high-quality products

Like a moisturizer and blurring primer all in one!

When you first open up the product, it comes out as a clear matte gel (the kind of primer that blurs pores) and has a nice citronella type scent that I really enjoyed and it doesn’t linger throughout the day.

When you apply it, it has a smooth satin blurring finish and it doesn’t leave your face feeling dry at all. My foundation also applied really seamlessly on top and didn’t pill or bunch up, nor look cakey.

In terms of wear, as someone with oily skin, I still needed to blot or powder halfway through the day. However, that’s the usual case for my skin anyway and I really like all the skincare benefits in terms of hydration in a mattifying primer and also strengthening my skin barrier.

It’s like a moisturizer and blurring primer all in one, making it a better replacement than moisturizer before my foundation (as someone with oily skin)!

Great Primer!

I have received Grown Alchemist Skin Defense Primer for free in exchange for my honest opinion. The primer has a subtle scent and a refreshing texture. Once applied on my face skin, it is easily absorbed. It leaves a thin protective layer after which you can apply your make up for a smooth finish. Highly recommended.

Love it

Thank you @grownalchemist & @thisisbutterly for letting me try this Skin defence primer! I love it! It completely blurs my pores and leaves my face very smooth with visibly decreased sizes of my pores. We can barely see them 😍
I notice it also helps with oil control as I tend to be more oily on my T-Zone it has visibly reduced the number of times I need to wipes my nose 😅
Feels like wearing a filter IRL!
Overall, my makeup stayed smooth and matte all day long! 💖

Great pore minimizing primer

I received Grown Alchemist Skin Defense Primer from @thisisbutterly for free in exchange of honest review.

The primer claims to strengthen the skin barrier over 12 hours for the ultimate defense against environmental aggressors and pollution. It also claims to blur pores and mattify skin and it does exactly that.

I used it on my skin after cleansing and moisturizing. It is lightweight, spreads easily and makes the pores appear smaller. I did not notice any strong fragrance. I have enlarged pores and acne-prone skin. I did not get any breakouts while using it.

I have not noticed visible difference in skin barrier since I have only recently started using it.

Overall I recommend it if you want to blur the pores.

Unique Primer!

This primer! What an incredibly unique product. This is the @grownalchemist Skin Defense Primer. I am obsessed. This goes on like a blurring silicone primer but it's NOT silicone. When smoothed out it almost turns into a cooling thin veil of water on the skin. My skin feels incredible when I put this on. If you have ever used the NYX Impossible Primer this feels very similar.

cool, silky primer

This primer base has a very interesting formula. It is clear, cool to the touch and almost feels like it turns into water when applied to the skin. It blends into my skin luxuriously and creates a smooth, matte base for makeup. It has a light, refreshing, essential oil like scent that doesn't linger too long. I think it helps my makeup last a bit longer and overall look nicer!

Great for everyday use - with or without makeup!

I really enjoyed using this primer both under makeup and on its own. My skin type is combination and I felt this primer did a great job at hydrating any dry patches while mattifying my oily t-zone. The thick gel like consistency was easy to spread and instantly melted into my skin leaving it feeling velvety smooth. My pores and fine lines looked blurred and less noticeable. I really enjoyed this product as it acts to strengthen the skin barrier and shield against environmental agressors. After a long day, my skin felt less shiny with very minimal flaking around my nose. I will definitely be adding this primer to my daily routine!
