This skincare-meets-makeup hybrid was formulated by a dermatologist who specializes in acne and it was specifically crafted with adult hormonal breakouts in mind. The star ingredient is the max level 2% salicylic acid, which is an oil-soluble BHA (beta hydroxy acid) that is known for penetrating deep within the pores to dislodge acne-causing oil and dirt. Because of the potent ingredient, you don’t need much product to mitigate acne, so a pea-sized amount daily will do. If you have areas of very dry skin that you’re not too concerned about in terms of acne flare-ups, you can use this as a spot treatment, but it is meant for allover use if your skin can tolerate it. In addition to sal acid, there’s a mix of hormone and bacteria-balancing botanicals and niacinamide, which is known for its dark spot, redness and blemish-reducing powers. Smoothening and blurring primers are best for oily skin which is bumpy or has a lot of uneven texture. Save a step in your routine with this sunscreen that doubles as a primer. Not only does it meet derms’ recommendation for daily SPF 30, but it exceeds it with an impressive SPF 50– more than is usually found in cosmetic products.

Size matters a lot when it comes to cosmetic products. Regardless of the cost-to-size ratio (which also matters, depending on your budget), you’ll want to look for a product that you’ll get the most use out of. Products that come in sizes 1 oz. or higher (like the Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer) are ideal for repeated daily use, whereas smaller sizes won’t last too long.

"Brushes are my favorite tool, especially if you're working with naturally oily skin," she notes. "You don't want the natural oils from your fingers on your face too. Apply your primer with a foundation brush sparingly; sometimes if you load it on, it can start to pill." How else can I minimize pores and oiliness?

Much the way you apply a primer on walls before painting them to make sure the surface has the right finish for holding onto the paint, makeup primers also work the same way. I always recommend applying a makeup primer before foundation to get the smoothest, most flawless application. You can apply foundation without using a primer but creating a smoothing-effect barrier between your skin and makeup with primer will help the rest of your makeup to blend more seamlessly.

For example, if you’re oily and acne-prone, opt for a lightweight, water-based primer with non-comedogenic and blemish-fighting ingredients like Pixi Flawless & Poreless Primer.
