Hydro Grip - Primer

Needs be reformulated

I used this product a hand full of times and it was working great until the last time I used it it gave me a chemical burn like rash with a bunch of painful tiny pimples! After having it on for a few hours my face felt itchy and after I took my makeup off I saw the rash. There’s something in this that is giving a bad reaction. I don’t have sensitive skin and this has never happened to me ever in my life before! So disappointed cause I did like the product until it ruined my face.

The primer gets the job done but my skin feels a little bit dry when applying.

I was very skeptical at first but after using it a couple of weeks the results are amazing my makeup stays on all day! You do need to let it dry for a minute before applying your foundation otherwise it will start pilling.

I was concerned about this primer because a lot of people said it caused them peeling, but I decided to give it a shot and I’m absolutely obsessed! My skin used to be oily, but now I’m super dehydrated, so this primer perfectly hydrated my skin and perfectly matches my Dior Backstage foundation. I will definitely buy this again!

Very finicky product

This primer doesn't play well with most of my foundations. The only foundation I can use on top of this is the Haus Labs Triclone foundation otherwise it pills like crazy. I tried to use minimal skincare products before using this and still the same. It pills!! I also don't see any difference in terms of longevity so for me this is a pass! I think there are better options out there that work with most, if not, all foundations.

It’s been 2 years, still not good.

I thought when it first came out, it needed time. But after other batches or trying with same base foundations, this primer is just dry magnet making pores more visible. Terrible. Not sure how milk is still on the market.

A new staple

This product has a grip on my and my makeup! After using it for a week, I can’t get over how well this performs. My skin is oily which causes my makeup and eye makeup to melt by lunch but this keeps everything lasting untill I’m ready to remove it at the end of the day.

Use it twice a week at least.

Texture feels good and thick but didn’t work very well on my super dry skin. It did not ‘hydrate’ as the name suggests- would just absorb leaving my skin feeling drier than before. Will be moving to a different brand!

I wanted to love it so bad…

I’m so disappointed in this product. I have tried it several times and really really wanted it to work since it has such great hype. Every time I use this, my makeup pills like crazyyy. Like to the point where anything over it will literally peel off. My foundation is water based, and to make sure that wasn’t the issue I even used it with two other foundations and has the same issue. I have used several different amounts, wondering if I was using too much or too little to the same end. I simply cannot use this if I I don’t want it to look like my skin is peeling off!

Causes my makeup to peel, despite both products being water-based

Not that hydrating

Not as hydrating as I thought it would be. There are better drugstore ones out there. Including the elf one. I use this under my eyes where it often dries out and creases. This isn’t the worst, but there is better.

Peeling Problem

I've had this product for a while already and every time I've used this primer it would always peel in certain areas, like my temples and my cheek area. This primer does have the grip effect but It's not worth using with the peeling issue
