Key Benefits

    Overall Score: 6/10

    Apply a thin, even layer to clean, moisturized skin before makeup application. Allow the primer to set for 30-60 seconds before applying foundation or other makeup. Not recommended for highly sensitive or compromised skin due to menthol and botanical extracts. Patch test prior to first use, especially if you have a history of sensitivity to plant extracts or menthol. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin.
