‘It completely erased my pores,’ shoppers rave about $8 makeup primer that ‘works far better’ than more expensive brands
AMAZON shoppers have gone wild for a primer that instantly smooths the appearance of skin for a poreless look.
One customer described the makeup product as a “game changer” as she joined others in raving about their impressive results.
According to Healthline, any skin type can take on the appearance of having large open pores.
This may be due to skin oil, elasticity, hair thickening, aging, sun damage, genetics, and hormonal changes.
Visible pores are not a medical concern, however, there are a variety of cosmetic treatments and beauty products that may help to reduce their appearance.
Amazon customers have reduced the time it would take to try different solutions by recommending a must-try product.
One woman said she was amazed that the budget-friendly primer achieved the same results as a pricey alternative.
“I tried the Ilmakiage no filter-poreless base soothing primer and I really liked it,” she said.
“BUT it's almost $50, and there is very little product. I needed to find something that did the same thing but for less money.
“This was not it...this was BETTER for A LOT less money.
“I'm 52, I only have large pores on my nose and I don't have many wrinkles except on my forehead, but my makeup was always looking cakey.
“This smooths it all out and I love it!!!!!! Don't hesitate to buy.”
Another shopper swore she would repeatedly buy the primer after being wowed by how it transformed her skin.
“This face primer is a game changer,” she said.
“It completely erased my pores and the foundation just glides on and stays on. I'll never be without this primer.”
E.l.f’s Blemish Control Face Primer is available for just $8 on Amazon.
The formula is infused with Salicylic Acid, Vitamin E, and Tea Tree to “combat” breakouts and blemishes.
It has a weightless consistency that smoothes and hydrates skin for a “flawless complexion.”
According to the brand, the primer is ideal for those with oily and irritated skin.
It should be applied before makeup to achieve a “baby-like, matte finish.”
Over 3,000 Amazon customers have bought the primer in the past month, which currently has a 4.4-star rating.
Thousands of people have penned glowing reviews after being delighted with how the product looked on their skin.
“This is great for my larger pores and aging skin,” one person wrote.
“For anyone who has experienced foundation dots from the pores filling up with the base, you know how it feels/looks.
“This helps the rest of my makeup set the way it used to. I do have to keep the oil blotter tissues on hand, but definitely a must-have for me.”
“It is so softening and really compliments my skin,” another said.
“I naturally have oily skin and larger pores but this product really helps give me a smooth face.”
