Why we stand behind it

Exa Jump Start Smoothing Primer doubles as skincare to create a canvas of possibility for any skin tone. The semi-matte formula includes soothing cocoa fruit powder, CoQ10, and free radical-fighting fatty acids from raspberry seed to help protect against blue-light damage. Positively charged quartz crystals magically extend the wear of makeup and deliver a breakthrough blurring effect similar to a photo filter—but IRL! This cruelty-free primer is made with 97% natural, gluten-free ingredients, is safe for sensitive skin, and approved by dermatologists.

What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Doesn't work for my rosacea

"I have rosacea, and this primer did not work well for me. I have incredibly sensitive skin, and I had high hopes for this primer. But after just a few days of incorporating this into my routine (the only new product), my rosacea immediately flared. After stopping use, it calmed back down. I'm disappointed, because I have used other products by this brand! But, the primer doesn't work for my rosacea."

— Sarah C. (1/5)

Great for oily complexions

"Perfect primer for my oily skin. Keeps my makeup in place all day and reduces oil slicks. Had been looking for non silicone based primer that was good for oilier complexions for a while and this one wins. On third bottle"

— Gillian S. (5/5)
