Milk of Magnesia?

I've been reading on some of the makeup forums that a lot of people have had GREAT results using Milk of Magnesia (Phillips' brand) as a primer. They say it keeps the oilies at bay for hours. I've also seen mention of it as an acne treatment.

Have any of you used this on your skin? I've tried a few times and wasn't impressed. I haven't used it regularly or given it much of a chance though. It left a while cast on my skin as it dried but that was easily covered by my MMU. The only primer that has ever really worked for me is Monistat Chafing Gel - best stuff hands down for my skin.

Directions are to use the Original formula and to apply with a cotton ball or pad.

I'd love to hear different reviews!

  1. I've tried both MOM and Monistat in the past with horrid results both times. The MOM worked better than the Monistat though....but neither one worked for me in the long run.
