Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: It blurs pores right away and works on texture over time, which is rare for a primer. It is silicone-free, so it suits people who find silicone primers heavy.
Skip it if: You have dry skin and want a dewy, glowy base.
The catch: The mattifying effect can feel drying on dry patches, and the BHA means you should wear sunscreen.
