Troubleshooting
Primer feels sticky or heavy
Ensure you are using a pea-sized amount and have allowed it sufficient time to set before applying makeup. Over-application can lead to a sticky feeling.
Makeup is not adhering well
Make sure your skin is completely clean and dry before application. Ensure the primer has fully set before applying foundation. Try warming the primer between fingertips before smoothing onto skin.
Skin irritation or redness
Discontinue use immediately. Perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (like behind the ear or inner forearm) for 24 hours before applying to the face again. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist.
Primer seems to be drying out
Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly after each use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If slight drying occurs, try gently warming a small amount between fingertips before application.
