Why It Works:

The secret ingredient in Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel is dimethicone, which is found in all the high-end foundation/face primers. Dimethicone is a silicone emollient (a skin softener) that forms a silky, breathable barrier between the skin on your face and your foundation.

1. This barrier locks in your moisturizer under your make-up to keep your skin nourished.

2. The dimethicone barrier prevents oils from your skin from breaking through to your foundation. Since the oils can't get through, your skin never looks greasy or oily. No more blotting.

3. While dimethicone prevents oil from getting out, it also prevents your foundation from getting in. This means that your skin won't absorb your makeup so your makeup looks fresh all day, even on hot days. It holds makeup in place so well and for so many hours, many women report that they have stopped powdering their faces, giving their skin a more natural, youthful look.

My Review:

Almost everyone in a forum that I joined have been talking about this product. I was curious and pretty excited about it, I mean... A great primer for such a price? So then I decided to give it a try.

I'd never thought a second to put this on my face if I haven't read all the reviews about how good and cheap this product is as a make-up primer. One thing that assure me more is because it was written in the tube 'The Skin Protectant". It shouldn't do my face any harm, isn't it?

I've been wearing this product everytime I went out of the house for around 2 weeks.

I love how it feels when applied on my face. It glides easily on my face, smoothing out my skin and eliminates shines, providing a good silky matte base to apply my make up on. One thing that I noticed when I washed my hands after applying this gel + foundation is that the foundation gets off easily and the layer of this product repels water from my hands. Same thing happens when I blotted my face, there is foundation on my blotting paper!! I guess this product works well as a barrier to prevent direct contact of foundation to my skin, but it also doesn't make my foundation attached ( if you get what I mean...). Good thing is, the make up stays on as long as I don't blot or wipe...

Using thing, my face is oil-free for around 8 hours ( so I don't see any need to blot anyways...). I use it on top of my face serum and bb cream and under my liquid foundation, yet it doesn't feel heavy or cakey.

Moving on to the cons, I'm getting breakouts from this product. Due to my experience about how this product repels water, I think I might need a good deep cleansing product to remove it from my face.

4 out of 5

Will I re-purchase:

I honestly don't know. I might go for a primer that has corrective color instead of repurchasing this product.
