MirabellaFace Primer with SPF– Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Hydrating SPF Moisturizer Face Primer & Anti-Aging Formula with Hyaluronic Acid & Antioxidants - Face Roller Applicator, 1.35 fl. Oz

This face primer worked okay. I don't love the roller applicator, that felt odd. However, this has SPF meaning it does protect your face from the sun. It does blend easily. I thought this was an easy step to my skincare routine and was moisturizing. It did not break me out or cause issues. I liked that it was multifunctional.

My wife, which has been trying to slow down her skin's aging process ever since she left her 40's behind, asked me to order this Mirabella Face Primer with SPF–30 to replace her Revlon and L'Oreal primers based on the key benefits as described on Amazon's Mirabella product page. She was all for a Primer like Mirabella that also contains an effective chemical sunscreen (the chemical type is more water and sweat resistant) based on Mirabella's list of ingredients in place of a Mineral based sunscreen which could possibly leave a white cast on her skin. Since we're both getting up in years she was more focused on the Anti-aging properties from the Watermelon and Rosemary Extracts along with the Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid. The Watermelon contains antioxidants that help protect skin from environmental stressors and signs of aging while the Rosemary contains Carnosic acid along with iron, calcium, and vitamin B6 so all of these help to fight off the signs of aging. Also it doesn't hurt that the inclusion of Aloe Vera acts with a tightening effect on the skin as well. Their "HA" or Hyaluronic Acid helps skin stretch and flex, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines plus it supports the skin's natural collagen and elastin levels. While I'm trying to provide some data as to why Mirabella works so well my wife on the other hand could care less about how their combination of ingredients come together to work so well, she's more results orientated and she is impressed with the end results of this Mirabella Primer. She considers the applicator to be a plus in applying it to her face which none of her other name brand products ever possessed and it's doesn't feel sticky like some of her other primers. She also likes what Mirabella describes as a Dewy look meaning it gives her skin what I would describe as a very soft reflective glow on her skin which in the end equates to her in providing a more youthful and healthy looking skin! You know the old saying: "Happy Wife, Happy Life"!

I like so much about this SPF primer. For one, I love the fact that it’s a sunscreen that’s also hydrating and meant to work well under makeup. The hyleraunic acid means my face actually holds moisture with this, not lose it as it tends to do with many of my mineral sunscreens. Additionally, I think the applicator is awesome. I love not having to get my hands messy, and it feels so nice going on! I think the value is solid for the size of the bottle, as well.I do share another reviewer’s concerns about this being reef safe after looking into some of the ingredients, which is why I’d give it a 4/5. However, as a sunscreen for non-swimming or pool days, I feel good about using this.

Overall, this is a good sunscreen. I liked the innovative applicator, and it feels moisturizing.However, I dislike that a full list of ingredients wasn't provided in the description, and it's not until I reviewed the box that I found out about some concerning ingredients. If I had read that prior to ordering I would not have ordered. While most ingredients are considered safe both by US and EU standards, I do have some potencial concerns:Homosalate: While currently allowed in the EU, it's under review due to potential endocrine-disrupting properties. The EU is considering lowering its maximum concentration to 10% (which is exactly what this product contains)...Environmental Impact:-Chemical sunscreens like avobenzone and homosalate can affect marine life-Not considered "reef-safe" by most standards-If you're swimming in coral reef areas, a mineral sunscreen might be betterTetrasodium EDTA: While safe for use, it's not readily biodegradable...

I think one of the most important things to realize about using SPF (besides the fact that you should be using it) is that you should be reapplying it throughout the day. This is a little complicated depending on what kind of SPF you use - not everyone wants to carry around lotion or tinted moisturizer or whatever else and have to reapply in front of a mirror. Luckily, this exists. This fits in your bag or backpack or jacket pocket really easily and you can just roll it on every few hours.Highly recommend.

Great primer for under makeup. Makes you look flawless and makes makeup last all day. Definitely a sleeper item

The packaging was torn. The cap was broke.

Bottle was only filled up halfway…for the price id expect better quality and amount.
