Reviews

Great primer

"I really like the Hydro Prime Moisturizing Primer. It’s very lightweight and hydrating, leaving my skin feeling smooth and fresh before applying makeup. It provides a natural base that helps my makeup last all day. Overall, it's an affordable, good everyday primer, especially suitable for dry and sensitive skin like mine."

— SaadiquaA (5/5)

No piling hydrating primer!

"Love that this doesn't pill under makeup! So many primers that say they don't still do. I found this one to be hydrating and also blurring without piling. Definitely wasn't expecting it to beat out a lot of my higher end primers but it does. Still reaching for this one. Nothing bad so far to say about it. It wasn't shiny either and it lasts pretty long too so far from my daily wear tests."

— Mirandab0807 2. (5/5)

Leaves skin feeling so Soft!!!

"The Almay Hydra-Prime Moisturizing Primer applies so smooth and does not have a scent. It feels so smoothing on the skin and not sticky. It leaves your face so soft and makeup applies flawlessly over the top. I absolutely love this primer!!"

— LakeishaR (5/5)

Easy to apply and keeps foundation from melting aw

"As a woman with aging, dry skin, I found this primer to be both hydrating and the perfect product to keep my foundation from melting off. The texture is light and it doesn’t feel too thick or frosting like on my face. I love the bright pink packaging as well!"

— JacquelineT (4/5)

Smooth primer

"Once I apply this primer, it feels super smooth on my skin and applies beautifully. Doesn’t have a smell to it and I feel like my skin does absorb it very well. It’s silicone like."

— MadiL (5/5)

Stinks! Looks great…

"I really like this primer. It definitely helps with longevity and pore filling. I really like the way my texture looks when I’ve used this. Now I have one problem with it, the smell is horrendous. It has a very chemical smell to it almost a mild gasoline smell. If you can get over the smell of the product is great but otherwise it is very bad smelling."

— MikaC (4/5)

Amazing hydrating primer

"I absolutely love this primer. My normal primer is just sticky and holds makeup well, but I didn’t realize how much I liked having the stickiness and hydration. I love that this primer includes moisturizer in it because it set a great base on my skin to put makeup on it."

— MaiahR (5/5)

I wanted to love it

"Okay, I wanted to love it I really did. But the smell? It’s definitely noticeable and lingers for a moment, which makes it hard for me to keep using. The texture itself is right in the middle it’s not watery and it’s not too thick either it’s just right. Nice and smooth. But if you’re sensitive to smells, proceed with caution. This may or may not be for you. The smell makes this a 5/10 for me."

— LilyR (5/5)

Elf dupe

"Out of the box this one was my favorite it makes sure foundation sticks and not move around! It didn’t clog up my pores and had a lot of oil control definitely good for summer"

— CrystalM (5/5)

Hydrates and holds makeup for hours

"I'm late to the primer game, but I liked the sound of Almay's primer for my 56 y. o. skin. My typical "no make-up look" was raised to an entirely new level. My skin looked flawless, and my makeup didn't sweat off. It even helped my concealer adhere better! My skin feels soft, has a subtle glow, and yet matte in the areas I want it to be matte. I am sold!!"
