We Tried the 5 Best-Selling Primers for Oily Skin — Here's What Really WorkedBecause no one has time to try a thousand different primers |
Cover FX Mattifying Primer with Anti-Acne Treatment, $38 Unique Features: It features an incredible anti-acne treatment, heals existing blemishes and has a gel-like consistency.
Tested & True: While this primer is technically a makeup product, I appreciated the fact that it worked like skin care at the same time, using a 1 percent salicylic acid to help control and heal pesky breakouts. As soon as you apply this lightweight, gel-like primer, you'll see your skin looking more matte, but it also works to smooth out any texture in the skin, which was a nice added benefit. The oil-control properties of this primer did work well, but I did find myself blotting a bit sooner than I did with the other primers I tried.
Overall Rating: 6/10
