Just Beauty Direct says

This primer is white in the bottle - but goes on as a clear finish. It doesn't have the same silky feel as the classic primer, but it is very light and refreshing. Notwithstanding that, it still smoothes out fine lines and wrinkes (I just wish I could tell you how). The most dramatic difference for me was my pores. My nose looked so much better. It gives a beautiful matte finish to the skin, which made my skin look more youthful. It is perfect in our opinion for wearing under any foundation, but because of the way it dries (no stickiness at all) it is particularly good for people who wear mineral foundation.

I always thought that the classic foundation primer was unbeatable. But now I am not sure sure. Unless you have very dry skin, this primer is definitely worth trying. One other thing - I could always feel the difference with the classic primer, but unless I wore foundation I didn't really see the difference (if you see what I mean). With this primer, I could see the difference to my pores and pesky lines before I put foundation on.

Non-greasy, smooth
The only UK site that sells Smashbox products other than QVC. Chose this because of cheaper price. Onto this primer, this primer suits my oily skin and covers my pores, it feels smooth and it also helps even out my foundation over it. Just a fairly small amount and it covers the whole skin. I bought the travel size just to test if it is any good and I am now happily purchasing the big bottle. Quite fast shipping too.

review title
I do not have oily skin but mild roseaca and this primer is perfect for me. The texture is lighter than the normal primer and feels more cream like. It does not dry my skin out at all, nor does it feel heavy on the skin. It does what it says on the bottle, keeps your foundation looking smooth and lasting.

Love it
This primer is amazing, I have oily skin and this helps with the oiliness, it feels so light and the pump lasts me just about 3 months - great value!
