  Pros

  This primer is incredibly moisturizing yet leaves a velvety finish, with amazing adherence and lasting power. As someone with oily skin, I used to only buy pore-minimizing primers for a matte effect. But this one shocked me! Despite its 'moisturizing' name, I didn't expect much, but it's become the best primer I've used for makeup longevity. It applies like a hydrating cream that absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling both dewy inside and powder-soft outside. You know how cosmetic companies always claim 'moist inside, silky outside'? This actually delivers on that promise! It balances both dry and oily areas with hydration. The real magic happens when you apply foundation - the adherence is incredible, and it dramatically improves wear time. My makeup usually breaks down after 6 hours, even with long-lasting foundations. With this primer, it stays flawless for about 12 hours, only needing minor touch-ups for shine. Highly recommended, especially for those with oily skin!

  Cons

  The pore-covering ability isn't the best, but that's not a major issue. It works so well with high-coverage foundations that the amazing adherence and longevity more than make up for any shortcomings in pore coverage.

  Tip

  Oily-skinned folks, remember that dehydrated skin actually produces more oil and looks worse! While matte foundations are great for us, a hydrating primer can be a game-changer. By the way, this pairs beautifully with VDL's Perfect Lasting Foundation. It creates that ideal balance of hydrated-from-within, velvety-smooth on top. Highly recommend giving it a try!
