Mac Prep + Prime Essential Oils - Grapefruit & Chamomile

Great for dry skin! This is the one product I will keep repurchasing. It cleared up my rosacea and fixed my flakey and dry skin. When I don’t use it, I notice the difference right away. It also works so well under makeup for me. It gives me a nice dewy glow which is impossible to achieve with my dry/dehydrated skin. Love this stuff! Wish it came in a bigger bottle as well though!

Amazing for my rosacea

I've had and use this product but it was set aside because my toddler kept messing with and I didn't know how wonderfully it was helping my rosacea. I was cleaning my vanity out and saw it put it on and within minutes my face went from super red and uncomfortable (because of my rosacea) it a light pink and no pain. I've used it every day since and my rosacea is completely under control. I've been told my rosacea isn't that bad but when it's on you it always feels like a big deal. So if you have rosacea maybe give it a try and it doesn't take much (for me) I use moisturizer and then foundation and things stay put for me.I do wish MAC would try other packaging for this product (don't change the product) like a pump or spray so you could take it on the go besides ... MoreI've had and use this product but it was set aside because my toddler kept messing with and I didn't know how wonderfully it was helping my rosacea.

BRILLIANT FOR DRY SKIN

My ongoing skin issue is my dry, flaky skin and my makeup always clings to the drier parts of my face making my makeup appear as a cakey, flaky mess! I decided to purchase this product and it really has made a difference to my complexion! As well as clearing up dryness, it adds radiance and makes your makeup stay on for longer without drying out the skin. This product is super oily though, so if you have oily skin this is definitely not for you. I purchased the product in December and use it frequently and barely any product is gone! A little bit really does go a long way with this product. The packaging is sleek and I can tell this product is going to last me a long time!

Beautiful hydrating primer

I really love this product as a dual-purpose day-time moisturising oil and primer. I'm a fan of hydrating primer because of my dry skin, so this oil is perfect. It is quite light-weight and absorbs into my skin very quickly, making my foundation blend easily on my skin. It's also great for natural finished look. Highly recommended.

Completely worth it

I rarely write reviews for the items I purchase, however, after using this product for a couple months i felt the need to share my two cents because this has completely changed the ballgame for me.As most college students, I live on quite the budget and don't care for super expensive makeup products. I came across a small sample from my mother and began to use it twice daily in place of my normal moisturizer. I have VERY acne-prone skin so I was very wary of using an oil on my face but instead of breakouts, not only did this act as a great moisturizer but it calmed my acne down! This has reigned in my acne more than the topical creams and facial washes that I've tried over the years, and without all the dryness that comes with them.It is lightweight, the smell is ... MoreI rarely write reviews for the items I purchase, however, after using this product for a couple months i felt the need to share my two cents because this has completely changed the ballgame for me.As most college students, I live on quite the budget and don't care for super expensive makeup products.

This has reigned in my acne more than the topical creams and facial washes that I've tried over the years, and without all the dryness that comes with them.It is lightweight, the smell is neither pleasant nor unpleasant and I've started not to even notice it, and does not make my face appear oily while wearing makeup. Of course everyone reacts differently so for those wth sensitive or acne-prone skin I would proceed with caution but it most certainly helped me.Although slightly expensive for me, it is definitely worth the try and I will keep buying this product.

Fantastic

I got this as a gift with purchase and fell in love. My aesthetician has commented that she has seen great improvement in my skin over the last couple weeks...I can only attribute it to my daily use of this oil as that's all that changed in my daily routine. I wear it alone or under my makeup.My skin feels soft and dewy. I just glow now. Hope it's back in stock soon...

I'm so thankful for this product!

This product is everything I've been waiting for. I love prolong wear products, especially under the eyes. However prolong wear producs can make under the eye very dry, liney and unflattering although the makeup stays in place! This didn't start happening to me until I started getting older, as MAC has been around for a long time. I added 1-2 drops to my concealer, mixed and then applied. My eyes have been rejuvenated! Now that it is winter, I mix it with my foundation as well. Please note, I don't add this product to the foundation or concealer bottle, I pump out to the back of my hand, or into a small clean container, then add 1-2 drops of the oil, mix and then apply to my skin (it's like making customized hydration make up).

I have added 1-2 drops of this oil to my lip glass because I wanted to hydrate the whole lip glass bottle. It makes everything as smooth as butter. This oil is versatile, sensational, and a keeper. MAC we beg you to keep this forever!I have skin that easily breaks out and I have experienced no breakouts, no blackheads, just hydration and beauty!

Love the product not a fan of the packaging

I absolutely love this oil. It's been a staple in my makeup routine for over 5 years now. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the packaging is not ideal. I end up losing a good amount of product whenever I re-purchase because the dropper top moves out of place and spills everywhere. I hope a re-design is considered.

MAC PREP+PRIME

I usually never write a review to anyone. But this time I must write one because I want to help you all who are looking for an excellent base for your makeup. From the hundreds of different products I've tried for long lasting great moisture under my makeup, this essential oil from mac is a winner! My skin is dry, and this works best for me. It does not cause breakouts instead it cleans breakouts due to its deep moisture that every skin is looking for. I just finished one bottle, and I'm about to purchase another one right now. I unquestionably recommend this product to everyone who is looking for an excellent base for their makeup look and a great feeling on your face! You won't regret I promise ;)
