Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer SPF 30 Review

This is a wonderful, luxurious product. The soft pink cream blends so easy onto moisturised skin and its so effective that it blurs imperfections. I felt comfortable enough to not wear foundation over it on the weekends. I have freckles and it gave good coverage, and along with foundation gave my skin a polished look. The SPF30 is a big bonus. I have fair skin which I like to protect. This product is high protection but you wouldn't know it from the lovely pearlised formulation. Well done.

I got some samples of this product from the wedding expo, needless to say I now own a full size tube,

This primer is fantastic for covering up all those annoying spots or blemishes on your face, it gives great coverage, without making your make up look cakey. It also helps to plump out the fine lines.

It has a flesh colour, and has a silicon feel to it, and very light in texture, It glides over smoothly and blends extremely well. It has a very pleasant smell to it,

The SPF factor is an added bonus

It doesn't start to flake during the day and has good staying power.

My new favourite primer, will be using this for a long time to come.

I was skeptical that this was just another "magical primer" as I've tried many others in the past, however my opinion soon changed. After only one day of using it people were starting to make comments - asking if i had changed my make-up. My make-up lasts hours longer than it did previously and I no longer have oily looking skin at the end of the day. It helps to keep my make-up in tact and perfectly smooth all day no matter the weather! It only uses a small amount each day to maintain a flawless make-up look. I would highly recommend this primer!

Does what it says on the box! This is a wonderful smooth primer with the distinctive Dermalogica herbal scent. A little goes a very long way. Provides beautiful coverage, can easily be worn alone (better on my 38 year old skin than a BB cream!) and diverts light out of those little eye creases! This makes my regular foundation last forever when I do apply it over top, and the silky satin smooth feel makes me feel like a glamourpuss!

Here's the thing about life - if you're not open to trying new things, you really don't know when you're missing out on something amazing.

I thought I'd found my ultimate primer, I never went a day without it - even makeup free days. And then, quelle horreur, the news broke that it was discontinued. So when I was selected to try this, I was excited, but could anything really compete?

Erm, compete? No. Wipe the floor with? Yes.

First opinion - the packaging is sleek and clinical - it looks more like medicine than the most amazing beauty product in the world. But it's a sturdy tube, it doesn't squirt the product everywhere and it won't take much room in your bag.

So I'm used to primers being white / whiteish - being a tinted primer this looks like a BB Cream. I applied it somewhat cautiously, for fear of looking like an oopma loompa. There are no worries, once applied it warms up your skintone, evens it out, seems to blur fine lines and just makes you look like you - but better.

Makeup application is a breeze - it doesn't matter if you're a BB girl or a foundation girl. You'll find yourself applying it faster and easier than ever before. And it will last the day!

This primer is brilliant for non-makeup days too. Case in point. I recently coloured my hair from blonde/brown balayage to deep purple/vibrant purple ombre - and I have to say my skin looked a little washed out. Hubby said "I'm not sure if it's you." The day after dying my hair my primer arrived. I had to try it straight away and literally had nothing else on my face but the primer. My skin looked warmer and healthier, less sallow. Hubby came home from work, and what do you know, "actually your hair looks really good, maybe it was the lighting". FOR REAL!

What else makes this a wow product? Even the negatives don't make me rate it any less. It's fragranced which I don't generally like in a skincare product but it doesn't last so I can't hold that against it. It's $88. Expensive? Yes. But you use a teeny amount and you will use it daily, so in my eyes, it's worth more!

Seriously - this is THE primer you need in your life. I will be repurchasing for sure!

Prior to trying the Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer SPF 30, I never really understood why you should use a primer, because the ones I had tried didn't give the results they promised. Using Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer SPF 30 was like seeing the light - suddenly it all made sense because my skin really did look flawless. Forget putting it under foundation - this is all I need to make my skin looking amazing. It's subtle tint is perfect for every day AND even though it might seem pricey on first glance, it is totally worth it.

I've found most primers a complete waste of time in the past until I received a sample of this. It completely evens out your skin tone, your make up stays put all day long and it even smooths out fine lines. It is quite dark and I am very pale but my foundation went on so nicely and didn't move at all so was not a problem. It conceals everything! It really is a amazing product but you do need to use quite a bit and it is very very expensive

Dermalogica is one of my favourite brands.The products I have tried have been great quality and perfect for my sensitive skin.

I had my eyes on this primer for a while, when I saw it come up for trial on BR I was rather jealous of the very lucky ladies who got selected!

So I was extremely happy to have this primer in my hot little hands. Did it live up to my expectation? Oh it certainly did.

The packaging follows the look of other Dermalogica products. Stylish and simple, the primer comes in a small tube. My initial thought was that it was quite small for the price tag. But good things do come in small packages!

The formula is tinted and is different to other primers I have used. It is a consistency similar to tinted moisturiser.

The primer feels lovely, and sinks into your skin quickly making it feel silky smooth. It doesn't have that awful siliconey feel like other primers have.

The SPF factor of 30 is great in this primer-perfect to protect my face from the harsh Auckland sun.

After application of this primer I applied my foundation. It really helped with the longitivity of my makeup. It looked fresh and flawless at the end of the day, even a hot summer day!

This is a fabulous primer, and Dermalogica have made another winner here.

Will definitely be recommending and repurchasing on the future.

I was so excited to receive this product, as I had actually never worn a primer before! I had high hopes because of it's retail price, and I was certainly not let down!

The packaging is incredibly great quality and the full instruction sheet is also super helpful!

The product itself is in a really easy to use tube and it lets just the perfect amount of primer out.

The primer is so smooth and light to apply and leaves your skin smooth and feeling as if you haven't put anything on! So awesome! Instantly the redness on my cheeks was less noticable. I would def wear this without foundation.

It also smelt SO nice! Felt like you were giving yourself a little pamper as well as treating your skin and hiding blemishes. Awesome all in one! Highly recommend :)

The only down side I have found is that if you put it too close to your eyes they do sting. I battled with stinging eyes and it might have been the fragrance? Not entirely sure!

This comes in a tube which is quite simple also included is a tethering attachment that helps get every last bit of product out fo the tube guaranteed no wastage. A screw top lid of which the product can sit flat on & a nozzle for dispensinformation the product. This is said to have spf 30+ which is an added bonus. I've also used it alone with it makeup underneath. It provides a calming effect & does counteract the redness it also leaves a matte finsih to my skin. It doesn't blur any pores but it does extend the wear of my foundation & my foundation won't start to swear till 2pm from a 6.30 am application so that's great longevity imo.
