I do find that when I use this primer daily, my skin tone looks more even and there is definitely less redness. I don’t suffer from rosacea or any condition that would cause extreme redness, but knowing that this primer is specially formulated for sensitive skin with those conditions makes me confident that it will work wonders on any complexion. When I use the Cover FX Calming Primer, my makeup goes on very smoothly and wears very well throughout the day.
