November 13, 2007, 5:39 am It's not the holy grail of primers but it DOES WHAT IT SAYS IT WILL DO. Instead of promising miracles, Clarins delivers a product that is different to the other silicone-filled, gel/ liquid primers on the market. It does not 'ball up' like the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm or the Model Co. Face Base. Great texture - not suffocatingly thick and goes on easily and evenly. It fills in lines and pores and allows foundation to be applied more smoothly- especially good around the T-zone for combo skin, and as a primer for under eye concealer (for people like me with horrendous circles). One problem is it wipes off too easily, so this one is definitely not good for hot summer months or the beach while on winter break. November 13, 2007, 5:39 am

    Won't purchase again

    by slcltn (3 reviews)
    As a former Counter Manager for Clarins and a former free-lance makeup artist I try just about every new product from Clarins that fits my skin type. I won't buy this one again however. It's not that it does anything wrong - it just doesn't do anything. My T-zone is just as shiny with it as with out it and the fine lines... November 29, 2007, 5:52 pm As a former Counter Manager for Clarins and a former free-lance makeup artist I try just about every new product from Clarins that fits my skin type. I won't buy this one again however. It's not that it does anything wrong - it just doesn't do anything. My T-zone is just as shiny with it as with out it and the fine lines that are there when I don't use it are there when I do. I finally quit using it. November 29, 2007, 5:52 pm

    Filler Up!

    by grandteton (3 reviews)
    My favorite primer yet. Although it's a cream/gel, it is lightweight and can be worn regardless of the season or your type of skin. Some days I just wear this and skip the foundation. Provides a smooth base for when I do wear foundation, helps minimize pores, lines, and shine. I always thought of Clarins as skincare and... November 27, 2007, 6:54 pm My favorite primer yet.

Provides a smooth base for when I do wear foundation, helps minimize pores, lines, and shine. I always thought of Clarins as skincare and not so much for makeup, but this product has me looking at their makeup line as well. November 27, 2007, 6:54 pm

November 2, 2007, 10:48 am This good-for-your-skin product delivers on its promises... its easy to apply, powdery-cream is excellent as a primer helping to minimize wrinkles and facial imperfections while delivering fabulous botanicals and ingredients to your skin thru the day. Can be applied underneath foundation as a primer or on top of foundation as a pick-me-up refreshing the skin later in the day (without harming the look of the foundation - yes, true). Love it!

    Perfecto!!

    by gosheng (4 reviews)
    I love Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch. You can wear it under your foundation or by itself. It's a great primer. I love how it makes my skin feel smooth as well as look smooth. You don't need to use a lot of it so that goes well with it's price. It'll last. April 20, 2008, 10:32 am

    This really works

    by kat111 (15 reviews)
    I really like using this under my foundation since it hides my fine lines, such as the ones on my forehead. The texture is nice since it is rich and thick, not oily and slick like other brands The packaging is cool in the nice oval bottle. April 18, 2008, 8:53 pm

    Some Primers are too Slimy, some primers are too gunky, this one is just right!

    by PatriceEcho (3 reviews)
    This is a simple straightforward review. After trying many many primers (Smashbox, MAC, TART LORAC and on and on) this primers is perfect! The consistancy is thick enough to work with but it melts right onto you face erasing the appearance or pore, wrinkles - and on top of that it FEELS great!! November 29, 2007, 2:30 pm

    Not thrilled

    by egarcia (9 reviews)
    As a Clarins afficionado and former makeup artist, I was rather disappointed with this primer. Although my skin felt okay, it didn't really provide for smoother application or help to fill in fine lines. It didn't help keep the foundation put either. Pretty much every other primer I have tried is better. November 29, 2007, 10:03 am
