DERMATOLOGIST REVIEW

What Dr. Baumann Says

I find that this works a lot better for oily skin types than dry skin types. It is ideal for ORPW skin types that wear makeup. Note that you must wash your face thoroughly at night to prevent comedones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Brightening Primer work well for oily skin?

Yes, it's recommended for oily skin types due to its ability to control excess oil and prevent makeup from streaking. The Zinc PCA in the formula helps regulate oil production, making it a popular choice for those with shiny or oily skin​.

Can this primer minimize the appearance of pores?

Many users find that it smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of pores, creating a more even surface for makeup application. This makes it especially helpful for those with enlarged pores who want a flawless finish​. It does not actually shrink pores, it just makes them look smaller.

Does Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Primer make makeup last longer?

Yes, the primer is frequently praised for extending the wear of makeup without causing it to break down or streak throughout the day. It creates a stable base, which helps makeup adhere better, particularly for oily skin.​

Is this primer non-comedogenic and safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, it's formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores. It is also suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin, as the formula is free from harsh ingredients like parabens and sulfates​.

Does Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Primer brighten the skin?

The primer contains fruit extracts like Apple and Grapefruit, along with Vitamin C derivatives, which help brighten the complexion by gently exfoliating and reducing the appearance of dark spots​.

Does Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Primer cause break-outs?

Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Brightening Primer has been tested and shown to be non-comedogenic, meaning it’s designed not to clog pores or cause acne. However, because it contains dimethicone, a silicone-based ingredient that forms a barrier on the skin, there is a potential for blackheads or clogged pores if the primer isn’t properly removed before bed. It’s essential to thoroughly cleanse your face at night, as sleeping with makeup or primer on can lead to breakouts—something you should always avoid, regardless of the product.
