What I say:
It's a silicone gel, and although it works, it does have a reasonable dupe. Yes, the Smashbox version has sunscreen in it, but you can find a good sunscreen for less than the $42 price tag this comes with.
Save your cash and go with its much cheaper dupe, Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel. It isn't a total dupe because there is no sunscreen in the Monistat version, but the price difference will make you not worry about one extra step to apply your own sunscreen.
If you are determined to not use the Monistat version, I still wouldn't stop the search for a good primer with this one. It doesn't keep oiliness in check all day. My nose still became oily (as is normal for me). It did a good job of filling in pores and softening the look of fine lines. You have to apply it like a spackle if you want it to fill in pores, and that has been my experience with all of the primers I have tried... they hide pores by filling them in with the silicone gel, and then you smooth your foundation over that newly smoothed area. I didn't experience any new blemishes while trialing this product, and there was no noticeable scent. It looks pink in the tube, but dispenses and applies clear.
Amazing article for skincare, eye care is also important and contact lens will give a good look.
