Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate smoothing texture and hydration for your dry and sensitive skin, as glycerin and sodium acrylates crosspolymer-2 provide moisturizing effects and create a smooth canvas.
- The presence of butylene glycol and tocopherol further supports hydration and offers antioxidant activity, beneficial for dry or flaky skin.
- The formula is safe for your skin due to the absence of harsh or prohibited ingredients, minimizing irritation risks.
People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 1.8k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, users love this primer for its lightweight, cooling jelly texture that blurs pores and smooths skin, creating a soft-focus base. While it is highly praised for its pore-blurring capabilities and smooth makeup application, some users with very oily skin noted it did not significantly extend makeup wear time compared to gripping primers.

Questions and answers
Why does Lovi advise caution with the Huda Beauty Easy Blur Primer for dry sensitive skin?
Lovi advises caution because this primer only offers moderate smoothing and hydration for dry sensitive skin. A makeup primer for this skin needs to be exceptionally suited with highly effective soothing ingredients that provide significant hydration and nourishment without any risk of irritation.
Which ingredients make this primer a poor fit for dry sensitive skin?
This primer is a poor fit for dry sensitive skin because it lacks the deep hydration and rich nourishing ingredients needed for this skin type. A primer for dry sensitive skin needs highly effective soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, along with rich moisturizing agents that lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.
What does Water do for dry sensitive skin?
Hard water increases soap deposits and dryness, making dry sensitive skin more prone to irritation and flare-ups. A product of this type needs gentle cleansers and soothing ingredients to calm the skin and protect its moisture barrier against hard water minerals.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2018Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 2021
What does Glycerin do for dry sensitive skin?
Glycerin helps dry sensitive skin by drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it there, making the skin soft and smooth. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving how well the skin holds onto water. This type of skin needs ingredients that boost hydration and repair the barrier without causing stinging.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008
Where does this primer go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?
This makeup primer goes in the morning routine after your moisturizing sunscreen, but because it is a poor match for dry and sensitive skin, a product of this type needs rich moisturizing ingredients like ceramides and plant oils to properly comfort and protect your skin.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can I use this primer with retinol, and in what order?
You should use this primer after your retinol product in your morning routine, as it helps smooth and hydrate your skin. However, since this primer is a poor match for your dry and sensitive skin, a product of this type needs richer moisturizing ingredients and skin-repairing ceramides to properly protect and comfort your skin.
How often should I use this primer?
This primer is a poor match for dry sensitive skin, so you should use it with caution and only occasionally to help prevent irritation. A product of this type needs rich moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and soothing plant extracts to keep dry skin soft and comfortable.
Can this primer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?
This primer is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry sensitive skin, as its formula avoids harsh ingredients that typically trigger irritation. To properly care for this skin type, a product of this type needs rich moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and soothing plant extracts to keep dry areas soft and calm.
Is this primer fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017A topical serum containing vitamin C, vitamin E, and raspberry leaf cell culture extract improved skin color, elasticity, radiance, smoothness, scaliness, and wrinkles compared to the untreated contralateral side in fifty female volunteers.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
