Right smack-dab in the middle of a breakout is no time to let down our blemish defenses. And yet, we're often forced to choose between applying a primer (essential to a flawless makeup look) and applying an acne treatment cream (essential to our confidence). Not so with this blemish-fighting primer from Smashbox. Infused with 2% salicylic acid, the oil-free formula battles breakouts and creates a silky-smooth base for makeup. So there's no need to play favorites with your go-to products.
