Primer Plus
I love that this is a primer PLUS sunscreen. My experience has been that it works well as both. It produces a nice smooth finish and seems to calm my reddish rosacea skin. I am comfortable just going as-is and skipping foundation with this on my face. I'm always a fan of multi-tasking products and this one fits the bill. Next time I may try the tinted version.
