    "This one is an oldie but a goodie. It's an all-in-one primer that smooths, fills pores, and hydrates, great for all skin types. Even if you have oily skin, it makes the makeup look better and wear longer. Some people have even used it just over skincare for a soft filter effect on the skin without makeup on top. For normal to dry skin, it's a no-fuss primer where makeup sits on top really well and lasts all day. It gives a silky smooth feeling after applying and blurs out pores."

    "Also love their Vanish Primer, I was really surprised by this. It definitely gives your skin a nice dewy look before you apply the skin tint."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
