Perfect Primer
Yes, I recommend this
Perfect for oily skin would purchase this primer every time

Turns into lumps
No, I don't recommend this
As soon as applied, it turns into lumps or fragments of white. The more you try to smooth it out the more fragmented it gets, and the fragments fall off your face. It's the second tube i have tried so it must be a general problem not confined to one tube. A pity that the older Clinique pore refining produce was discontinued as that worked.

Claggy and ruins my foundation base
Originally posted on clinique.co.uk
No, I don't recommend this
I was really disappointed with this primer. I swapped from another brand as I like your moisturisers but found this primer didn't go on well, clumped when I applied foundation and made my fine lines look worse! Plus made my skin feel dry when I had makeup on. Not impressed and feel I've wasted money.

Great primer!

I've been using this primer for the past couple weeks - it really blurs my pores, and my skin is hydrated and even when applying foundation. Really like the texture on the skin too!

Great primer for all my skin needs!

I have been trying this primer for the first time over the past couple of weeks and I love it! Having an oily/combination skin type the niacinamide definitely is key in helping my makeup stay in place all day, but the hyaluronic acid keeps me from looking dry. It blends lovely and sits great under my foundation, and minimizes my pores which is a must for me! Would 100% recommend.

Makes my skin even before make-ups
Originally posted on clinique.co.uk
No, I don't recommend this
I have always been the "even better" fan, and I was excited to try this new product. However, I was a bit surprised with the texture of the product, it feels matt and a bit of pasty. Having said that, it does what it says on the tin to make my skin even before applying make-up.

A great primer!
Originally posted on clinique.co.uk
Yes, I recommend this
I was keen to try this primer as large pores has always been an issue for me and i was curious to try it as it has niacinamide in it! I wouldn't say i have a completely poreless look after using but it is a great primer that is sticky so that i really felt my makeup clung better on my skin than it usually does with other primers and lasted well through out the day!!

Really smooth long lasting

This primer makes my skin feel amazing. It smooths out the base making it easy to apply my makeup and I feel it is very long lasting. I have normal/dry skin and I would recommend this to anyone with the same.

Makes such a difference
Originally posted on clinique.co.uk
Yes, I recommend this
Love this product! Usually after a few hours of applying makeup my t-zone is oily and shiny, but when I use this primer my makeup lasts all day and im far less shiny. Even though it has a thick texture to start with, it blends really easily and works well under makeup.

Melts into skin

I like the clear formula and how it melts into the skin when you apply. My makeup also sat well on this primer throughout the day and didn't make my skin greasy like some others I have tried.

Great Primer for a Matte look

I have combination skin and this product has worked wonders for me. It keeps my skin hydrated (thank you hyaluronic acid) without making it oily and also helps in minimizing pores. It almost feels like I have a filter on my face!

So smooth!

I am not a big fan of primers but this one made a difference - my skin is acne prone but it didn't make it oily or a bad reaction

My makeup looks better

It melts in my skin, makes it even in texture and make my makeup last longer. Really like this product and love the ingredients, I think its a great way of incorporating niacinamide in my routine.

nice primer

i'm quite liking this primer - its got a smooth but sticky texture so it definitely requires leaving a minute before adding on makeup but it clings & locks in your makeup to your skin!

Worse Clinique product
Originally posted on clinique.co.uk
No, I don't recommend this
This is just an awful primer, the pilling is bad and just doesn't go on smoothly at all. The superprimer was an amazing product, please bring it back. I'm having to look at other brands now. Very disappointing.

I totally agree with the reviews by Laura J and Beehive. This product is even more awful than the 'Even Better Light Reflecting Primer' (which makes my skin shiny..) This one is claggy, it doesn't glide on evenly and makes the makes the foundation 'sticky'. Pleeease bring back the SUPERPRIMER!

I bought this to help hide my pores a little. It goes on really milky on me, moves around a lot, then my foundation moves even more after. Doesn't appear to do anything other than make my make up more patchy.

Unable to spread on face, had to scrape blobs off
I wonder if this product is very old? I was unable to spread this on my face. Quite bizarre, it was like putting a glue on - but almost stayed in the little blob - could not spread across my cheeks. Tried some on my forehead - just the same. Had to use my nails to scrape it off as could only squash it on. No change of being a primer. Totally unable to spread it. I have typical English rose complexion - very fine pores. I love make up and use good products. I was so disappointed. Would really like my money back? What do I do with this Clinique Primer?

Bring back universal primer
Originally posted on clinique.co.uk
No, I don't recommend this
Since being unable to buy the universal primer, I ordered a small size of both new primers. Unfortunately, neither of them have worked for me with my routine. The pore defying primer didn't rub in very easily and ended up rolling into clumps which made applying my Clinique Superbalanced foundation very difficult. As someone with skin issues and allergies, it's always difficult when companies change or discontinue products that work for my skin. Unfortunately, I'm now going to have to find another branded primer :(
