Not for the acne prone!

I tried this primer a really long time ago and while I really wanted to like it I couldn’t because it did react with my sensitive acne prone skin. Laura Mercier cosmetics are really good and my mother gave me a sample that she got if this. I think the first thing that I noticed was that it didn’t really do much visibly to smooth out any of my pores or improve the appearance of my skin which is what other primers I’ve used does for me. Its also a gel so it’s very different from any primer that I’ve used before and I noticed that I started getting bumps in my t zone area. I probably should have done a little patch test to see of how my skin reacted instead of slathering this all over my face. If you have sensitive skin I would highly recommend that you learn from what I did!

I found this product to be just ok i wasnt wowed by this in anyway and is way over priced for what it is i was happy to sample the product but i doubt i will ever repurchase

I usually use the Laura Mercier Radiance primer which I'm obsessed with. My skin looks absolutely flawless after use. During the winter time when my skin got drier, I decided to switch over to the hydrating primer to see if I would like it.

After a few uses I noticed bumps under my skin. It wasn't a zit because it had no head. I didn't think much of it. When I continued to use the product, I got more and more of these painful bumps. I finally put two and two together and stopped using the product. The bumps immediately went away. I found it strange because I don't necessarily have sensitive skin.

I returned the product to the Laura Mercier counter and the advisor told me multiple people have had this problem, and she always gets returns for this product. I would recommend getting a sample of this product before buying the full size product. The product did make my skin feel hydrated and held my foundation well.
