This is the only product I don't have to wear a primer with. All other liquid, cream or powder foundations I have to wear a primer or it just disappears within a couple hours. The CC cream stays on at least 10 hours. I have dry skin and always wait at least a half hour after I apply my moisturizer to put on any other face products.

I have this, and only apply a serum under it. Isn't it the point of products like this....that they are multi-taskers?

I suspect Jaime may change her mind on the need for primer if she begins to sell her own primer. That said, the purpose of BB's and CC' s is that you only need one product for your face.

I use moisturizer but no primer. I also apply sparingly and it lasts all day for me. I let my Algenist moistorizer sink in well before I apply the cc.

I'm surprised that it doesn't provide full coverage for you. I've got mature skin too loll. I do my skin care use mally primer bb redness then the cc cream and top with bb under eye. My skin never looked better.

I love the CC cream! Though I really can't see it covering like Jamie's hyperpigmentation, I like the way it creates a more evenly toned appearance. After playing with it, I discovered that for my skin, I cannot apply a moisturizer first. That combo just kind of slides around! Since I've been applying just the CC cream to a bare face, mine lasts all day.

It certainly won't take the place of a true foundation, but on my mature skin, the coverage is perfect as it doesn't gather into my fine lines or look cakey at all. I just ordered another 1 from the IT site with the discount, which I believe is over by now.

She does sell her own primer, though - A231717. I haven't tried it yet, but it has mostly good reviews - 4 stars.

I'm actually thinking about giving up my AD on it. I don't like the possibility of it melting off during a hard workout.

How are people applying the CC+ cream? I use a beautyblender with my foundation and figured I'd try that with this (ordered but not yet recieved) but wonder if anyone else has any application process they think is best for the product.

TIA! Smiley Happy

I got a beautyblender...I wet it thoroughly, wring it out and then put one pump of the IT CC Cream on it. I dab once on each cheek, on each side of my forehead, my chin and my nose then blend out each section. Flawless and lasts all day on my normal-to-oily skin. I don't use a primer. LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
