How to use primer in a sentence?

1. Joshua Zeichner:

   The Jori Acne and Oil control primer is dermatologist-formulated specifically for people with adult breakouts and oily skin, it contains maximum strength 2 % salicylic acid along with a blend of botanicals that address the needs of adult skin. It can be worn on its own for a silky complexion or under makeup to help it go on smoother and stay on longer. Most importantly, it treats pimples and prevents future breakouts.

2. Joshua Zeichner:

   If you have oily or acne-prone skin, look for a primer that minimizes shine, blurs the pores and prevents breakouts, salicylic acid is a go-to ingredient because it keeps the pores clear and removes excess oil from the skin.
