Is this primer good for oily skin?

It is not formulated for oil control. The finish is dewy, so very oily skin may prefer a mattifying primer.

Can I use it if I have sensitive skin?

It contains lactic acid and lemon extract, which can sting reactive skin. Patch test first and start slowly.

Does it replace my vitamin C serum?

No. It is a primer with brightening ingredients, not a treatment serum. Keep your serum if you use one.

Smooth a thin layer over clean, moisturized skin before foundation. Let it set briefly.

Is it fragrance-free?

It is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and artificial dyes, but the formula is not marketed as fragrance-free.

How long until I see brighter skin?

Brightening from vitamin C and lactic acid builds over weeks of regular use. The immediate effect is a smoother base.

Our take on the Revlon PhotoReady Prime Plus Primer, Brightening + Skin-Tone Evening

Revlon PhotoReady Prime Plus is a brightening face primer that preps skin for makeup while working on tone over time. It pairs vitamin C and lemon extract with lactic acid for a smoother, more even-looking complexion. It suits shoppers who want a luminous base under foundation and gentle brightening in one step. Against gripping or pore-filling primers, it leans toward glow and tone rather than oil control or blurring, and it is not the pick for very oily skin or sensitive skin that reacts to acids.
