Has anyone experienced breakouts cause of this product? I'm trying to figure out if its this primer that's causing my breakouts. I was hoping to get thoughts from other people. So let me know your yeys and nays for this product! Also which specific kind you're using. I'm using the basic clear one.

I've found it does leave my skin oily after a while? But not really breakouts. And I use the photo finish clear primer xx

I played around with primerd for a couple months and found my skin was breaking out to any brand. The lady at sephora told me primer acts like a barrier between your skin and your foundation so its like a little shield. If you have oily skin, the oil stays trapped between your skin and the primer which then causes you to break out. When I completely stopped using primerd my skin cleared up like right away.

Their oil free photo finish is good, I also like the colour correcting primer, the feel of them is great and I never get break outs from them which primer are you using? Some may have oil in them which could be causing the break out or it could be like lama k says

I stopped using primers but I used Smashbox in the past and it broke me out. I also tried two primers from Lorac...broke out. I have oily skin as well.

Everyone's skin is different, stop using it and see if you continue to break out. My friend uses the photo finish light and she likes it. I would recommend trying milk of magnesia as a primer.

If you a oily use refined zone from Mac it is a primer as well it focus on the oily area only in the oily area because if you normal or dry it will suck up the make up.
