OK

I really wanted to love this because I love the other Ordinary products. Price point is good - the product goes on smoothly and nicely on the face but I don't think this acts as a primer very well. I find that the makeup moves when I use this, even after setting it with powder. I like their other primer better. Maybe it's just not for me.

Good inexpensive primer

This is a good inexpensive primer. It only cost a couple of dollars and works well. It has a silicone texture that applies very smooth ad fills in pores nicely. The only issue is that sometimes it does not work well with foundation and it tends to pill up. Good for everyday use otherwise.

Inexpensive

I have yet to find a perfect primer that helps my foundation last and not seperate throughout the day. However, as an inexpensive primer this compares to some of the very expensive ones. It does a decent job.

My thoughts on the highly raved The Ordinary Primer

When this blew up on youtube, I decided to give it a try. It is a very affordable product, i got it for only CA$4.90 plus tax.

the product itself looks like a regular moisturizer and it somehow feels like it but there's a touch of that silicone-y feeling but not too slippery like other silicone primers. It claims to mattify, hydrate and blur pores and I think it does all that to certain extent. When Applied,it makes the skin feel smooth making make-up application easier, but it doesn't totally cover big pores. In terms of longevity my face became very oily only after 3 hours. Aside from that, foundation always gets rubbed off my nose when I use this primer.

For the price, it's an awesome primer. As for how it works, maybe it just depends on your skin type an preferences but for me it didnt help too much since what i wanted was a mattiying and pore filling primer that would make my makeup last all day
