Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer Face Makeup, Silicone-Free Face Primer for Dry Skin, Pore Minimizing with 24HR Wear, 1.0 Fl oz

I'll be real - I've tried my fair share of primers, and most of them have left my dry skin feeling, well, drier. But then I discovered the Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer, and it's been a total game-changer! This stuff is like a drink of water for my parched skin. It's silicone-free, which is a major win for me, and it's specifically designed for dry skin. The jelly texture is so unique and fun to apply - it's like a cooling gel that just melts into my skin. But what really gets me excited is the performance. This primer makes my makeup last all day (we're talking 24 hours, people!), and it minimizes my pores like a pro. My skin looks smooth, even, and just plain amazing. I've been using this primer for a few weeks now, and I've noticed a significant difference in my skin's overall texture and tone. It's like my skin is finally getting the hydration it needs, and it's thanking me with a radiant glow. So, if you're like me and you've been searching for a primer that actually works for dry skin, look no further. The Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer is the real deal. P.S. I've already ordered my second bottle - it's that good!

Pros: ●It smoothes complexion out, making fine lines less noticeable. It's not magic, so deep wrinkles only soften slightly. ● Didn't cause any skin irritation or breakouts. ● Stays put along with foundation. I use minimal foundation, and not all over. I can apply this to areas without foundation and it works just as well. Cons: ●It is sticky/tacky. Even after drying it feels like there is a light coating on the skin. ●It is difficult to spread/apply *see workarounds below. *I partially solved this by mixing 2/3 moisturizer with 1/3 primer. I only use 1-2 pea size drops of primer. I apply it only in areas that need smoothing or hold for foundation. I use my fingers, but have success with a beauty blender as well. It works well to tap and press with a beauty blender not try to rub it in. I apply a small amount to my upper lip as it actually hides those lines! Bottom line: I will buy it again. Just have to adjust how I use it. I think if you use this on it's own without moisturizer, and use more than I do, you could get a very smooth look, but be prepared to feel as though you have spackle on your face.

As someone who doesn't wear makeup often but when I do I want to use the best, I was pleasantly surprised by this primer. It's silicone-free, which is perfect for my dry skin. I do not need extra things drying me out or caking on. The texture is lightweight and smooth, creating a nice base for makeup without feeling heavy. It also doesn't run in the heat, which is a godsend here in the South. What I appreciate most is that it keeps my makeup in place all day without smearing onto my clothes or my husband. Definitely will keep buying this!

I don't review much, but this primer is exceptional. It's thick and sticky, but it's lightweight and unnoticeable when you apply your foundation. The way it holds foundation is as if you glued it on! I have even fallen asleep in my makeup a couple times and it's still perfectly in place in the morning. I don't advocate for sleeping in makeup, but it definitely shows how long lasting this stuff is. Also, my skin is pretty textured due to acne scaring and this is the best primer I've used to give my skin a less textured, more flawless and airbrushed look. It's water based, so make sure your foundation is too and you'll get the same results I do.

Incredible primer that prepares the face for an all-day coverage experience. I have extremely sensitive skin that is highly reactionary. So throughout the years, I have tried many different cosmetic brands, ranging from affordable to luxury...this product is FAR superior to all... I live in the southwest where temperatures can exceed 120 degrees during the summer, making wearing makeup uncomfortable, difficult to maintain throughout the day, and highly irritating to the skin. However, this product, when used in conjunction with the Dermablend makeup line, allowed me to wear makeup flawlessly throughout the day, and without irritation. Note: Wait until the product completely dries before applying makeup. AND, I recommend removing it when in the shower. This will ensure all of the product is removed, decreasing your chances of irritation.

I bought this after getting suckered in on an ad discussing Lily Tomlin's gorgeous look in "Grace & Frankie". While I am decades younger, I am seeing the beginning signs of aging and figured why not? I was mostly interested in this product for the "lift". Several reviewers called it "face lift in a bottle". I don't get it. I felt nothing remotely close to that. I felt nothing except a little bit sticky until it dried. All that said, I WILL give it credit for "gripping" the makeup. We have had sweltering days here and I have been sweating like crazy, wearing masks, etc...and my make up not only looks pretty damn good...but overall better than days when I don't wear this primer. So, I do think it helps make up stay on and gives an overall dewy or slightly glowing complexion. I came for the lift, but I'll gladly take the dewy complexion and longlasting make up.

Perfect. Does exactly what it says!!

This was terrible for the price , I have a $5 elf setting spray that makes makeup look better then this (unfortunately it breaks me out) But back to THIS product... I read all the reviews about the texture and stickiness so was prepared for anything but honestly the texture didnt faze me af all. Little hard to spread, little sticky but nothing unmanageable. The problem was how my makeup looked once applied. Not good at all 😬... I have one really deep laugh line that seriously bothers me so my main concern is smoothing that over and this product immediately made it look much worse. Just immediately caked and settled into the line. I tried smoothing it out but just rubbed the makeup off in that area and made it stand out even more. I have better luck with no primer and just my IT cc cream then bother with this $35 primer.
