Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel as a Foundation Primer...

The Monistat works well for me, but I use Pores No More primer (from Sephora) on my nose which has some really ugly pores...it works great!

I read the same info on MUT and all the reviews from people who have tried it. I went to Walmart and also paid $6.39 for it and didn't feel funny about it at all. As a matter of fact I bought 2 tubes. I've never felt anything as silky smooth on my face and oh yeah the make up goes on nice and smooth. It has the same ingredients as the primers. We go to the store and buy sanitary napkins, tampons and other feminine products. It is not, I repeat, not the yeast infection cream. Why feel embarrased to buy it? Try it, you just may like it!

Has anyone bought it lately?? I used it a while back and ran out. And I'm having a problem with oil on my face again, and need to repurchase but I haven't seen it (nor have I been looking for it) in stores.

I hope its still being sold.

hI La Mari, When I bought it I bought 2 tubes so I have not looked to see if walmart still has it. I actually have not used it lately. I too have oily skin and it seems like I'm always trying something different on my face. I just ordered an anti shine product for professional stage people. I'll let you know how it works. Goggle it and see what you come up with. Good Luck.

My foot is almost out the door to buy this but I'm wondering, is it good for dry skin? I've got flakey areas but the whole of my face is just plain dry.

If you use a primer now then its the same.. Its not a moisturizer so I'd say you still need to use a moisturizer first the apply the primer. Just gives you a smoother (slicker) surface to apply your foundation..

I've never used a primer before. How long should I wait after applying the moisturizer to apply the primer, and then how long do I wait until I put on my foundation?

After I apply my moisturizer I wait one to two minutes.. Then apply the primer then wait another minute before you apply your foundation. And you don't need a lot of primer. Just a dab.. Like a real thin coating.

I tried to find this stuff at CVS but couldn't. What aisle is it in?
