Made my acne a 100% worse

I got both this primer and contour for a Xmas present because I suffered with acne all the way through my teens. It was a lot better but I always struggled finding an acne safe brand. I thought elf was because it was promoted as an acne safe brand and products on socials. It was lovely for the first few days but then my acne really badly flared. I tried to swap out all my other makeup steps hoping that it wasn’t my new elf products as I wanted them to work, but I stopped using the primer and liquid contour from elf and my acne has improved but my scars are still visible. I’m really disappointed and I feel like this product has been misadvertised.

Okay, not exactly as advertised

Issue #1: The product is not tinted green. It looks green in the bottle but it comes out pure white. It dries completely clear so it does nothing to help hide red spots or discoloration. Issue #2: People with blemishes often have uneven skin, with craters or enlarged pores. I would expect a product geared towards that to help smooth my face out. It's too thin to do that, in fact it doesn't smooth out my face or my makeup at all. This is a good product for people without blemishes, unevenness, etc. If you have perfect skin and want something light to help keep your makeup on then this is for you. As for me, I will stick with mixing my two old primers together for help with my blemishes.

Terrible

I had the exact same problem with the calming water cream sadly. For the few days that this product did work, I found it significantly improved my acne but sadly it began peeling terribly almost instantly after application, no matter how long I left it to dry. This formula has serious hope but the peeling makes it impossible to use.

I don't think this prevents acne.

I haven't experienced any peeling like other reviewers have said, but I feel like it doesn't do as advertised. It goes on nicely, but my skin becomes oily by the end of the night which has caused mini break outs. I love ELF products so I am going to try another.

Can't even use

I bought this a while ago and used it max three times because it peels off. People mentioned it could be related to the foundation you use, but it creates some sort of eraser dust on your face as you apply it. I didn't even get to apply foundation because it doesn't distribute well, it dries up and starts rolling up or whatever.

horrid

peels so bad on so many people. My friend with oily skin used to and peeled, i used to with my dry skin and it also peeled.

GREAT

I bought this two weeks ago and it leaves a smooth base and is good for my skin complexion

not happy

i have red skin irritations from acne and i thought this priduct was green to counteract the redness. Well, it’s not green it’s white and now I can’t get my money back because it’s already been opened. Why would anyone put a product in a bottle with the misrepresentation of what color it is?
