Primer Recommendations

I have really acne prone skin, thats hypersensitive. What would be your most recommended primer that won’t cause breakouts, and works good for oily skin? Thank you!!

Re: Primer Recommendations

Since you're oily, I would recommend the BECCA - Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector.I have rosacea and sensitivity, so I always look up ingredients, and the Becca only has one mildly comedogenic ingredient (1 on a scale of 1-5). I've also had luck with the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer Standard Size - 1 oz/ 30 mLbut it has stearic acid, which is slightly higher on the scale (2). Good luck!

Re: Primer Recommendations

And what do you think about Smashbox Primer Blemish Control and Cover FX Anti Acne primer? They do both has salicylic acid in it

Re: Primer Recommendations

@Aynash I haven't tried either of them before. Both have dimethicone, which I try to avoid, but that's purely a personal preference. Both have four mildly comedogenic ingredients, which certainly could be much worse, but due to my particular skin type and sensitivity I would personally look elsewhere.
