* Korres' regular face primer * LORAC aquaPRIME Oil Free Makeup Primer * Tarte ReCreate Silicone-Free Primer (discontinued) * Fresh Rose Freshface Primer * CARGO blu_ray Activating Face Primer * Exuberance Beauty Helichrysum Silicone-Free Makeup Primer Korres claims their other primer, the Quercetin & Oak Age-reversing one, is silicone-free, but toward the end of the ingredient list, you'll find Silica Dimethyl Silylate (link goes to cosmeticsinfo.org). Silica is, for all practical purposes, silicone in a powder form, which is what MUFE's HD loose powder is. Silica Silylate is a silica compound. (That said, though, generally speaking, if an ingredient is toward the end of the ingredient list, there's barely any of it in the product.) Pretty much all the other foundation primers listed in this thread have silicones/are silicone-based. (I can't find an ingredient list online for the Givenchy one, though, but it wouldn't surprise me if it had silicones in it. A lot of oil-controlling or pore-refining ones do.)
I noticed the Cargo blu_ray primer lists silica as its 3rd ingredient. Does this mean that it is not truly silicone-free? Or is silica slightly different? What do you think ShellyGrrl? Thanks!
Am I using it wrong?
I have it, what questions can I answer for you?
Does it control oiliness? I read somewhere that it did. I have a pretty oily T-zone.
