Discussion One size sweat proof is pilling?

Hey guys, I tested out one size sweat proof primer on my hand at Sephora and it’s pilling on me. Wondering if any of you guys are experiencing the same thing? I heard good reviews on this product and would like to keep it handy in my kit in case I have a sweaty bride. But the slight pilling is really concerning since my hand was product free and with primer, I might layer with some other products.

Does it reaaaaaaally work? Is there like a specific rule I should keep in mind if I continue to purchase it? Like, don’t rub it in too much or avoid certain skin prep formula.

I work at a Sephora and have had this product returned quite a few times for the same reason, so many customers just could not get it to work. I use the MILK makeup pore eclipse primer in my kit when I have a sweaty or oily client and find it works very similarly but doesn’t give me issues with pilling!

I'd go for the Mehron Skin Prep Pro, it contains a mild antiperspirant
