Gentle formula with a nice light texture

I don't get on with the grippy primer, so this was a nice surprise. A light, serum texture with soothing centella

Smooths pores and minimizes redness!

I've never used a primer before, so I don't have anything to compare this one to, but it's doing all it promised to and more. As my skin changes with age, I'm finding long-term routines need shaking up. While I've been able to get away with just using a tinted moisturizer on my t-zone and cheeks for the past decade, it's not longer hiding the redness and pores in these areas. Also, my once glow-y skin has been looking more oily in the glow-y. After researching various primers from multiple brands, I landed on this one because I wanted the added benefit of reducing redness. I've been using this primer on my t-zone and cheeks for about two weeks now, and noticed a difference upon first use. Redness is definitely neutralized, though it still peeks out by the end of a warm day. It also smooths my skin, minimizes more pores, AND (unexpectedly) dulls the shine on my skin to a soft glow (without making it look to matte). As I said, I don't wear any face makeup beyond a tinted moisturizer because I don't like feeling a lot of stuff on my face. This primer feels lightweight and not like I have anything extra on my skin. I can't believe I've gone this long without using a primer and I feel good about choosing this one for my first go.
