An antioxidant and botanical extract-packed 3-in-1 primer with SPF that helps balance redness, extends makeup wear, and leaves skin soothed, hydrated, and nourished.
This gentle, fragrance-free formula is ideal to calm sensitive skin.
Non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide deliver non-chemical UVA/UVB sunscreen and environmental protection. (With a new look, and now called a Primer, it is the same great formula as the previously named perfector.)
Calming Primer is the same amazing formula you know and love. We have improved what is known as the “emulsifiers” to allow the product to have an easier pump experience. You will notice that the formula now pumps with a creamier consistency. As result, you may also notice improved ease of blending onto the skin.

FAQs
## FAQs
What texture are the Primers?
The Primers have a lightweight, whipped texture that melts softly into skin leaving a silky, smoothed and even finish. This is the same texture as the previous formula.
How much do I use? How do I apply?
Dispense half a pump to fingertips. Dot product around the face and blend, ensuring even coverage. Can be worn alone or under your favorite foundation.
Can I wear the Primers by themselves?
Yes, the Primers can also be worn on their own. They contain ingredients that offer skincare benefits as well as leave the skin looking and feeling smoother and more even.
When in my cosmetic routine do I apply the Primers?
Apply your favorite Primer before liquid or powder foundation.
I love the Total ProtectionTM Face Shield (original, Glow, or Bronze). Can I use these with the Primers?
We love the layered protection approach! Apply Face Shield original, Glow, or Bronze as the first step in your makeup routine and allow it to dry. Once dry, apply your favorite Primer, then follow with your liquid or powder foundation.
Do I need to use moisturizer before applying the Primers?
Each of the primers contain a variety of ingredients that hydrate, nourish, and help skin retain moisture. However, each can be used in a regimen that includes moisturizer. Those who have dry or fragile skin may prefer to add a moisturizer first.
How do I use this with your brush-on sunscreens?
After applying your favorite primer followed by foundation, apply our brush-on sunscreens for an additional layer of protection. Take your brush on-the-go for reapplication throughout the day.
Are the Primers water- or sweat resistant?
Yes, all our Primers are water/sweat- resistant for up to 40 minutes.
Are the Primers recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation?
Yes, all our Primers are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective broad spectrum sunscreen. All Primers carry the seal for Daily Use.
Are the Primers suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin types?
Yes, this provides all-mineral protection (free of chemical active ingredients), oil free, hypoallergenic, non- comedogenic and is suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.
Will the Primers work with all skin tones? Since they are mineral formulas, will they leave a white cast or residue on my skin?
The Primers are not meant to offer any color coverage or match skin tones, but rather prime and prepare the skin for application of makeup. They can be used alone and will not offer color coverage. Note that the tint used in Bronzing Primer will offer a subtle tan tint to the skin.
How long will the product last?
Based on average usage of 1/2 pump per day, each should last approximately 90 days. Usage will vary depending on dose size and frequency of use.
Are the Primers hydrating?
Yes, all our Primers were formulated with several ingredients that help to hydrate and nourish skin, including hydrolyzed rice protein, jojoba seed oil and esters, oat kernel protein.
Is this product safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, all our Primers offer 100% mineral protection that is free of chemical active ingredients, oil free, are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and is suitable for all skin types.
How is the Bronzing Primer SPF 20 different from Total ProtectionTM Face Shield Bronze?
Bronzing primer is designed to offer a light hint of bronze in an emollient, whipped texture while priming the skin to adhere to and help extend the wear of foundation, and providing SPF 20 sun protection. For powerful Total ProtectionTM from environmental aggressors, including UVA/UVB, pollution, blue light, and Infrared radiation, select our Face Shield SPF 50 in bronze for a deeper, natural bronze tint with subtle luminosity. Face Shield Bronze is also water-/sweat- resistant for up to 40 minutes, which makes it ideal for outdoors and active lifestyles.
How is the Calming Primer different from All Calm® Clinical Redness Corrector?
Although both products provide redness correction, All CalmTM is a treatment product that has subtle green undertones that instantly neutralize and balance redness while other ingredients provide ongoing treatment to address redness long-term. All CalmTM is formulated with the powerful BioSolaceTM complex that provides ongoing relief from sensitivity and the appearance of redness. Lastly All CalmTM contains a higher level of broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection (SPF 50 vs SPF 20 in the Primer).
Does the Mattifying Primer SPF 20 contain talc?
No, the Mattifying Primer SPF 20 does not contain talc. Its mattification properties come from salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid known
Are the Primers suitable for oily/acne prone skin?
Yes, Sunforgettable® Total ProtectionTM Face Shield SPF 50 is 100% mineral protection (free of chemical active ingredients), oil free, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and is suitable for all skin types.
How long do I have to wait before I go into the sun?
As with all SPF products, Primers should be applied 15 minutes prior to exposure. Like all SPF products, reapply every 2 hours. For convenient reapplication on-the-go or directly over makeup, use our Brush-on sunscreens (Total Protection SPF 50 or Sheer Matte SPF 30 Sunscreen) for all-day, on-the-go reapplication every 2 hours.
What sunscreen actives do these contain? / Do these contain nano or non-nano minerals?
Yes, Colorescience uses only mineral (also known as physical) sunscreen active ingredients, zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These are the only 2 sunscreen actives the FDA recognizes as safe and effective. The sunscreen active ingredients in the Primers are non-nano zinc oxide and non-nano titanium dioxide.

I noticed the Primers contain mica. Are these safe and ethically-sourced?
All micas that Colorescience uses are ethically sourced. They are sourced from various parts of the world, including Japan, U.S. Mica is not a derivative of asbestos. Our mica vendors adhere to global regulations pertaining to the quality and safety of cosmetic ingredients. The mica used in Colorescience products is mined and processed to meet consistent standards of high quality, safety and aesthetics. Our mica passes or exceeds the standards for heavy metal and microbial testing.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB?
UVB exposure causes redness or burning, while UVA exposure causes skin darkening/pigmentation. Protection from both UVA and UVB means this product provides Broad Spectrum protection.
What does the PA rating mean?
The PA rating system measures the level of protection from UVA rays, which are known to cause pigment darkening in the skin. It measures the amount of time a product would protect your skin from darkening. The following shows how much protection each PA score provides compared to unprotected skin. If your unprotected skin normally darkens/pigments after 5 min of UVA exposure:
PA Rating \| Level of Protection \| Total # of min before experiencing skin darkening/pigmentation
PA+ 2-4 times 10-20 minutes
PA++ 4-8 times 20-40 minutes
PA+++ 8-16 times 40-80 minutes
PA++++ >16 times >80 minutes
All Primers have a PA+++ rating.
Can you explain how adherence/water- and sweat- resistance is tested?
Colorescience® follows the FDA guidelines for testing water resistance or adherence to the skin after exposure to water. A panel of 10 people apply the product to their skin prior to being immersed in a whirlpool (of moving or circulating water) for 20-minute cycles. After 20 minutes in the whirlpool, panelists exit the whirlpool before immersing themselves again. For 40 minutes water resistance, panelists are immersed in the water for two 20-minute cycles. For 80 minutes water resistance, this is done a total of 4 times. After all cycles are completed, the SPF that is remaining on the skin is measured. If after 80 minutes in the whirlpool, the SPF remaining is at least 50, the result is an SPF 50 with 80 minutes of water resistance.

Customers say this primer glides on smoothly with a silky, velvety texture. Many reviews mention its effectiveness in evening out skin tone and minimizing redness. The lightweight formula creates a smooth base that works well alone or under makeup. While most appreciate its gentle texture, some note it can feel slightly thick or slick. Reviews frequently highlight its natural-looking coverage and matte finish. Common feedback includes praise for the subtle tint and how it helps create a polished appearance. A few users mention wanting higher coverage, though most find the light finish ideal for daily wear.

A Soothing Start: Gentle Prep with Everyday Sun Protection
The Colorescience Calming Primer SPF 20 is a great option for anyone with sensitive or redness-prone skin looking for a smooth, comfortable base. From the first application, it feels lightweight and soothing, helping to visibly tone down redness while creating an even canvas for makeup.
The texture is silky without being overly slippery, so foundation layers nicely on top without pilling or patchiness. What stands out most is the calming effect—it doesn’t just mask redness, it actually helps your skin feel more balanced and less irritated throughout the day.
The SPF 20 is a nice added bonus for daily wear, especially if you’re indoors or layering with other sun protection. While it may not replace a full-strength sunscreen for long outdoor exposure, it’s a convenient extra layer of defense.
On the downside, those looking for strong pore-blurring or a matte finish might find this primer a bit too natural in its effect. It leans more toward skincare than heavy-duty makeup prep.
Overall, the Colorescience Calming Primer SPF 20 is ideal for achieving a soft, even look while keeping sensitive skin happy—perfect for no-makeup makeup days or as a gentle base under your routine.
