- Does this replace my sunscreen?
- It adds SPF 45, but primers are applied thinly, so most people get far less protection than the label suggests. Use a dedicated sunscreen underneath if you will be outdoors.
- Is it good for oily skin?
- It is aimed at normal skin and can feel tacky on oily skin. Oily users may prefer the original Photo Finish primer without SPF.
- How does it compare with the original Photo Finish primer?
- The original focuses on blurring and smoothing with a silky finish. This version adds broad-spectrum SPF 45 and hyaluronic acid but feels heavier.
- Can I wear it without foundation?
- Yes. It leaves a light smoothing layer and sun protection on its own, though it is not tinted.
- How much should I use?
- A pea-sized amount covers the face for makeup purposes. For sun protection you would need noticeably more, which is why a separate sunscreen is safer.
