if you have acne the best thing to do after putting your moisturizer on is finding a good primer that suits your skin that way your makeup is not actually going into your pores the primer is like a mask that will help reduce your acne

Do you have any primer recommendations for acne prone skin?

A primer is not going to help you reduce acne. A primer is almost always made of silicone and so are most foundations. Either you will break out from both of them or you will break out from neither of them.

I thought if you used a good moisturizer you didn't need a primer?

The cosmetics industry wants us to believe that we need a primer. Why not just find a good matte moisturizer that doubles as a good basis to your makeup? The less stuff you put on your face, the better.

I use Palladio primer and Urban Decay Oil Control setting spray and my makeup lasts about 10x longer and doesn't settle into my acne scarring during the day. I would never go back to not using a primer. It makes no difference in my acne better or worse, but the look and last of my makeup is highly improved.

Exactly!!! Plus I think primers just make your make up look so cakey. I have tried quite a few different primers and get the same results. I find that using a simple moisturizer with vitamin E is enough to get the job done. Plus, I always set my make up with a setting spray so I don't need the primer to help my makeup last. Don't get me wrong, certain primers are okay, there are tone correcting ones that I like and some do have moisturizing effects, but I don't notice the pore minimizing qualities in any of them. Not even the smash box or other high end primers. idk.. for now i'll stick with just moisturizer until I find a better primer.

i am certainly on the fence in this primer thing because i have found some that did clog my pores and did not hide them lol but there are some that looked good in terms of tone correcting. i use the murad silicone sunscreen and i love it. i feel like it breaks me out if i use a lot.

The only primer that I absolutely love is by Hourglass, Veil mineral primer. I only use it on special occasions as it is so damn expensive! lol.

I don't use it on a daily basis. I think if you have a good moisturizer and the right foundation, you really don't need it but if you are going to use it, def. use a good quality one because you don't want something to sit in your pores and break you out.
