REVLON PhotoReady Prime Plus Face Primer 1 oz — Mattifying, Pore-Reducing with Salicylic Acid & AHA

This lightweight 1 oz primer merges instant cosmetic benefits with skin-refining ingredients designed for ongoing improvement. Formulated with salicylic acid, AHA and botanical extracts, it smooths skin texture, reduces shine and helps makeup sit more evenly. It’s free from parabens, artificial dyes, sulfates and phthalates for a cleaner prep step.

How does this primer change the look of makeup?

Apply a thin layer before foundation to create a smoother, more uniform surface so foundation and concealer glide on with less creasing. The primer’s mattifying agents control shine and the blurring effect minimizes the visibility of pores and fine lines for a soft-focus finish.

• Creates an even base that improves foundation spread and longevity
• Makes pores appear smaller and fine lines less noticeable
• Controls excess oil to reduce midday shine

What active ingredients are included and what do they do?

This formula combines salicylic acid and AHA with artichoke and apple-derived extracts to refine texture over time while providing immediate cosmetic benefits. These ingredients are chosen to help exfoliate gently, regulate excess sebum and promote a clearer-looking surface when used consistently.

• Salicylic acid: helps exfoliate inside pores to reduce buildup
• AHA and apple fruit extract: support smoother skin texture
• Artichoke extract: contributes to pore-refining and mattifying effects

How should I use it in my routine for best results?

Use on clean, moisturized skin before applying foundation or tinted products. A pea-sized amount smoothed across the T-zone and cheeks is typically enough; allow a few seconds to set, then continue with makeup application.

• Morning or evening use depending on preference—works under makeup
• Apply lightly where pores and shine are most noticeable
• Consistent use over weeks can improve skin appearance

Will this primer work for my skin type and concerns?

Designed with oily and combination skin in mind, this primer performs best on large pores and shine-prone areas. It’s formulated to be non-comedogenic and free of common irritants like parabens and sulfates, but those with sensitive skin should patch-test first due to active exfoliating ingredients.

• Ideal for oily, combination and pore-prone skin
• Suitable under most foundations and tinted products
• Not formulated with parabens, artificial dyes, sulfates or phthalates

Who is this for: Revlon PhotoReady Prime Plus is aimed at anyone who wants a mattified, pore-minimizing base for makeup—especially people with oily or combination skin and visible pores. It’s a practical choice for daily makeup wearers who want both an immediate soft-focus finish and gradual improvements in skin texture from ingredients like salicylic acid and AHAs. If you prefer a smoother foundation application with reduced midday shine and a cleaner ingredient profile, this primer is a strong option to add to your prep routine.
