A New Staple in My Routine

I’ve been looking for a primer or setting spray with SPF without much luck until I stumbled upon this product. I use it as my last step before applying makeup. It absorbs well - no white cast like some sunscreens leave behind. I really like that it’s SPF 50 and that it’s also a primer to help with makeup application and staying power. I saw that some people complained about the size, but a little goes a long way and I use this after my usual morning moisturizing routine, so I don’t need much. I highly recommend. It’s a great product to use with makeup and gives the added bonus of sun protection.

BRING BACK OLD FORMULA

What has to happen for MAC to listen to its OG customers?! This formula is terrible. The old formula was the HG of primers for us oily girls. If this formula has to stay, fine, just add the other primer back into rotation - literally still waiting for this to come back. I haven't found a replacement in all these years. BRING IT BACK!!!

The best face protection ever!

I love this product and think you will too. I've always protected my face from the sun as my skin will get dark spots as well as way too many "angel kisses" (freckles). This lotion does the job and has become my daily moisturizer. It absorbs quickly, is not greasy and gives full protection. The high SPF keeps my face clear with a light application. Highly recommend.

Half empty bottles

I have religiously used this product since 2008, so I know how much it weighs. I know when I'll run out and I need to reorder. Not only did the price go up, I understand that with inflation. But your customers are putting up with shrinkflation. The bottles have been half empty the last 5-6 bottles I've purchased. I've made the switch to Charlotte Tilbury's spf and Zo.

Sun protection

This product doesn't leave my skin oily and it's not too thick. I use it everyday under my makeup. I wish it came in a bigger bottle.

Nice but disappointed

I read all the reviews prior to purchasing and had seen the comments in relation to size but decided to try it. Unfortunately, I can confirm, this item is so small for the price and won't last very long. It doesn't have much of a scent and absorbs into the skin really well. Will I buy again? Hmmmmm....not sure

Quantity too less

After 4-5 use the product is empty . I am not sure it was a defective one or not but if the product is empty in 4-5 use then it's very expensive.
