I've been trying out the Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer Ultra Light Formula in the white tube. I bought it at Walmart and it's made in the U.S. I paid about $9 CDN but I think it's cheaper in the U.S. I think it's a very nice silicone based makeup primer which I'm wearing under my It Cosmetics CC cream SPF 50 original formula. While IT Cosmetics says you don't need a primer with their CC cream, I'm not convinced as it tends to sit in my pores near my nose after a few hours.
I have been dealing with flaking skin in my T zone and while it's getting better, I think that this primer is helping to make my CC cream look better immediately and after a few hours too. My skin has become somewhat drier after menopause -- I used to deal with oily skin and acne -- but my T zone isn't exfoliating very well.
