As said by many before me, this primer doesn't reduce redness at all! But unlike some other reviews i also really dislike it as a primer! While it did make my foundation go on nicely, i felt like it made my foundation totally slide off and my face became oily very quickly while using this even more so than if i just was't wearing primer at all.

Save yourself $6 and do not purchase this product! It did nothing for my redness as promised and it clung to my dry patches and dryed it out more. Smelt and felt like vaseline was applied to my face
Eww, it is not good. Dried out my skin and made my foundation look oily. The green does absolutely nothing to my redness. Waste of money.
I bought this as part of an iHerb order and I’m not really sure why? I think I could hear Head Pixie saying “it’s a crime not to prime” as I was browsing the Elf products, lol. Redness isn’t really an issue for me either so I don’t know why I chose the green one? It didn’t appear green on my skin though. This is a really silicon heavy product which does make your skin feel silky smooth but would be best avoided if your skin doesn’t tolerate silicons. I didn’t find this did much so I only used it a few times. I’m not sure how many uses you would get out of this either as it’s really overpackaged and it’s impossible to tell how much is left. Overall this didn’t to anything for me so it’s not a ‘must have’ and I won’t be purchasing it again.
I love e.l.f as a brand, but this particular product really didn't blow me away. I found that it reacted really badly with my skin, and aside from that I found that once you actually blend it into the skin, the tone correcting greenness seems to disappear. It felt heavy on the skin and exaggerated pores. It did make the skin smooth but that isn't what I wanted it for. If you want a good tone correcting primer try the l'oreal one.
Tips: Works fine as a smoothing primer but for neutralizing redness not so great.
This is a good primer for the price. The bottle is quite decieving as it looks like you get quite a bit of product out of it but there is actually a lot less. I find this primer is good for smoothing and prepping the skin for foundation, but it is very average at tone adjusting red skin. Overall it is alright, but if you are wanting maximum colour correcting I would recommend using a green concealer before your foundation.
As a primer, I love Elf - it makes my face smoother and the foundation glide on easier. However, as someone who suffers from mild rosacea I was really hoping that this would help with redness, which it did not. I would buy this again as I like the actual product, however I do not think I would recommend this to a friend as it does not exactly do what it promises.
I bought this with an iherb order a while ago because it was cheap and I'd only ever tried green concealer before. I didn't really expect great things since some reviews I read said it didn't do anything but it looked interesting and I was on a buying frienzy.
Its consistency is quite thin and creamy in comparison to some other primers I've tried. This is quite a different feel to the clear version that elf sells, which is a lot more gel like. This does apply quite smoothly and feels as if it smoothes my pores a bit more. It also helps my foundation blend in more smoothly.
Now onto the colour correcting part... When I used green concealer it's definitely reduced redness, but this one is a very deceptive kind of green. As a blob it definitely looks green but once I smoothed it out on my face all the greenness was gone?! And yet, the redness was still there. Umm ok. Now my redness isn't anything crazy but often the sides of my cheeks are red and a little patchy. I suppose you can say this evened out my skin tone but it really didn't do much in terms of colour correcting.
I'm not sure if all colour correcting primers are like this or if this one was particularly useless. But I definitely wouldn't buy it again. I've better primers that feel smoother to apply and get rid of pores better than this so the colour correction was its only attraction to me.
I bought this in an iherb order as it was cheap and I was after some new primers. The green looked pretty interesting and different so I thought I'd give it a go.
As soon as I tried it I thought it felt quite thin and doesn't have the silicone feeling the elf clear mineral primer has. It made my skin smooth but a bit oily, make sure you don't use too much!
I bought this primer mostly to minimize my redness but it did absolutely nothing for that. Once you spread on and smooth out the primer, it's not green it seems clear and my redness is still as prevalent as ever. I'd recommend sticking to the elf clear mineral primer, this doesn't do anything for redness. It might be fine as a primer if you've got normal/dry skin but it felt oily on me.
As my opinion goes I don't like this primer as it doesn't cover redness it also does not keep its name as a primer as it doesn't seem to stay applied to urn face for very long. As I apply to my face I would only have it on for about ten mom's when the primer starts to fade and not appear to be working as it has dried out.to me it's only good as a practice run or for someone who may only like a little touch of primer to there skin .not recommended at all
