There’s nothing worse than looking in the mirror at mid-day and seeing that your foundation rubbed off. All of your hard work primping in the morning and now your look is gone. The good news is that this is easily solved by layering a face primer underneath your foundation. Now for the bad news – many popular primers contain pore-clogging silicone and lead to breakouts. What’s a girl to choose – long lasting makeup or acne?

You no longer have to choose – enter Korres Vitamin E Face Primer a certified organic, silicone free face primer that not only gives you a smooth and long lasting finish it also contains natural extracts and vitamins to soothe skin. This 99% natural product is free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances and dyes, mineral oils and petrochemicals. It has none of the bad stuff but is full of the good stuff – Vitamin E, Jojoba and Sunflower oils and Edelweiss extract nourish your skin.

Korres Vitamin E Face Primer goes on more like a moisturizer than a primer. Most primers have a rubbery texture that seems to lay on the top layer of skin while Korres Vitamin E Face Primer sinks into skin. You can use it alone or over moisturizer – I found that I did not need a moisturizer under the primer as it gave my skin enough moisture on its own.

All of Korres’ products use naturally derived active ingredients for maximum results while remaining true to their environmentally-conscious values. Vitamin E Face Primer is no exception. This skin friendly primer helped my foundation glide on smoothly and made it last and look fresh all day. It did not irritate skin or cause breakouts and my large pores actually looked smaller.

Fantastic results from a 99% natural product – a long lasting look and no breakouts – I might just have found my Holy Grail primer.
