Hydrating Primer

Hydrating Primer is a water-based, translucent complexion primer combining Sodium Hyaluronate, mango fruit extract, pomegranate seed extract, and gardenia to provide instant hydration and a moisture-cushion base for makeup. Part of the Glo Skin Beauty Prime range, distributed in the UK and Ireland by Glo Skin Beauty UK & Ireland.

What It Does

Hydrating Primer cushions and replenishes dry or dehydrated skin before foundation, preventing the caking, slippage, or patchiness that dry skin can cause during makeup application. Skin feels softer and more comfortable immediately, and makeup sits smoother and stays looking fresher for longer.

The formula delivers a natural finish with a subtle plumped effect, ideal when skin needs a moisture-first approach before colour products are applied.

Key Actives

Sodium Hyaluronate draws moisture into skin to help support the moisture barrier and reduce the appearance of surface dehydration lines. Mango (Mangifera Indica) Fruit Extract and Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) Seed Extract provide antioxidant protection and may help support skin's elasticity. Gardenia (Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract), also an antioxidant botanical, helps nourish and strengthen skin beneath makeup.

Note: this formula contains citrus peel oils and Limonene, a naturally occurring fragrance constituent of citrus ingredients. The product is free of artificial fragrance but is not completely fragrance-free. Those with fragrance sensitivity should patch-test before use.

Who It Suits

Recommended for dry and dehydrated skin. Use after moisturiser, before foundation, for a moisture-cushion base that prevents dry-skin makeup issues. Not recommended as a standalone primer for oily or combination skin where shine control is a priority, see Mattifying Primer instead.
