Is this primer clear/gel-based; like "Simply Balanced Primer", or is it cream-based? Thank you for your answer(s).

It is a gel based and goes on smooth. I really like it and it makes my make-up go on so nice. I purchased this product a few times and it is one of my go to products. I have dry skin and I am in my forties, I don't like the feeling of too much make up on my face. This seems to help with the fine lines as well as to give my make-up a nice base.

My jar says: Coconut oil, Amber colloidal silver, gelling agent, and ph balancer. It does not list what the gell and balancer are specifically, but my skin is sensitive, and it does not irritate, but soothes and heals. I use it on my face for adult acne and some brown spots, which are bettered with even occasional use of this cream. The amber silver strength is supposed to be a better quality too. I really like using it.

I have like light/beige skin and SUPER oily face (I mean oil slicks after an hour out of the shower), and I got the Pore Clearing. It does it's function, and it kind of keeps you matte, but it's light. It's kind of made for the tone you see in the picture. If you dont mind being a little lighter, and plan on dusting on some powder after then it's not bad, obviously great if you plan on staying pale-ish, but not if you like to tan. Honestly I find E.L.F's mineral foundation line matched up with their Make-up Mist and set to be great for staying matte, and if you want a good primer, their Pore-less primer is great. But if you want a BB, this does the trick. I have like light/beige skin and SUPER oily face (I mean oil slicks after an hour out of the shower), and I got the Pore Clearing.

The one I had was thick, but not a gel. It looked like it should have been clear but was clouded off-white. I looked both prior to and post-shaking. It made no difference but it did skew the water balance way off what it should have, (I was using it as a preventative, not a fix, for issues) and killed half of what I had in the tank at the time.

I used it and had no problems...and it was my first peel ever! So, I would imagine that 85% is mild. I have pretty sensitive, fair skin, and only left it on for 3 mins the first time. No need to dilute.

That is an excellent question. My problem in accurately answering it ... is that I no longer have the empty bottle to read the label properly, and I have not used it in a long time. I did feel that it helped balance out the estrogen-progesterone issue I had. Also the oil itself absorbs almost instantly unlike many creams mixed with a lot of unnecessary junk. Hope this helps, and I apologize for not recalling its precise chemical composition.

As answered by another person, the contents is Dimethicone 1.2%. I use it as a primer for my foundation and its fantastic......same as some expensive makeup primers but half the cost and every effective.

Honestly I don't know. It is a really nice cream but I haven't used it consistantly. It was recommended to me, so I haven't used it from the store either. Sorry I couldn't help.

No, I don't think this would be considered the clear version. This was my first order of ANCHORSEAL, so I have nothing to compare it with. It was not clear , more like cream. But after it dries on the wood, the wood grain shows through. I have used it and I like the results.

I use gelish PH bond, foundation, color, then top coat. I've tried the gel color you can get at CVS and it does not stay on as long. Definitely buy gelish brand or higher quality than what CVS carries.

Yes just give it a minute to absorb. I found I didn't need to use my primer anymore. But your results may vary.

As others have indicated, the product is water-based. One note though. If you are painting over the treatment, oil-based primer is recommended and that has worked very well for me.

It gives a more real cabinet finish as opposed to regular semi gloss paint and does not require a primer. If you use regular paint (semi-gloss) you must prime first! Good luck!

The only product I use is the Primer. I will tell you though, I was given a sample of the makeup and was not thrilled with it. The Primer beneath may make a difference. If you're looking for natural, try Origins Stay Tuned. I really prefer it to most any other I've tried. When foundation is thicker, it has a tendency to sink into pores and lines. Maybe using less would help. Sorry I couldn't be of more help>
