Is this primer good for oily skin?

It is better suited to dry and normal skin. The dewy, glycerin-rich finish can look shiny on oily skin, and it does not mattify or blur pores.

Apply a thin layer to clean skin, let it set for about a minute, then apply foundation. Using too much makes it tackier and slower to set.

Does it have skincare benefits?

It contains 5% niacinamide and 8% glycerin, which hydrate and can help brighten skin over time. It is a primer first, so do not expect a full skincare routine from it.

Does it work with all foundations?

It works with most liquid and cream foundations. Very matte or silicone-heavy formulas may pill if you use a thick layer, so keep it thin.

The formula is not described as fragranced, which suits sensitive skin. Check the full ingredient list if you have known sensitivities.

How does it compare with silicone gripping primers?

It hydrates and gives a glow rather than filling pores and mattifying. Choose it for a dewy look; choose a silicone primer if you want blurring and oil control.

Our take on the Wet n Wild Prime Focus Clingy Serum Primer

This is a clear gel serum primer built around 5% niacinamide and 8% glycerin. It is meant to hydrate, brighten and leave a dewy finish while helping makeup grip for long wear. The light serum texture suits dry and normal skin more than very oily skin, which may find the dewy look too much. Against gripping primers that rely on silicone, it trades the powdery matte feel for skincare ingredients, so it is closer to a hydrating serum than a classic pore-filling primer.
