([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)) - The 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, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/)) - Ten 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, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/)) - Niacinamide/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.

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. - Liked: Instant blurring effect (mostly mentioned) - Liked: Lightweight jelly texture (often mentioned) - Liked: Smooth makeup application (often mentioned) - Liked: Oil control (sometimes noted) - Disliked: Lack of longevity (sometimes noted) - Disliked: Not hydrating enough (rarely noted) - Disliked: Price point (rarely noted) - Disliked: Subtle results (rarely noted) ## Questions and answers ### Why does Lovi advise caution with Huda Beauty Easy Blur Primer for oily acne-prone skin? Lovi advises caution because this primer only offers moderate smoothing for oily skin and lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control. A makeup primer for oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight hydration, ingredients that support the skin barrier, and an absence of heavy oils to keep pores clear and prevent excess shine. ### Which ingredients make this primer a poor fit for oily acne-prone skin? Glycerin makes this primer a poor fit for your oily acne-prone skin because it pulls moisture into the skin without providing enough oil control. To properly manage shine and breakouts, a primer for this skin type needs oil-absorbing ingredients and lightweight mattifying agents. ### What does Water do for oily acne-prone skin? Water helps keep oily, acne-prone skin hydrated without making it greasy. Keeping skin hydrated is important because acne treatments can dry it out and irritate the skin barrier. Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40196957/) ### What does Glycerin do for oily acne-prone skin? Glycerin helps keep oily acne-prone skin hydrated without feeling heavy. It draws moisture into the skin while supporting the skin barrier so it stays soft and balanced. Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/) ### Where does this primer go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin? This primer goes on after your morning moisturizer and before makeup, but because it lacks strong oil control, oily skin of this type needs mattifying ingredients and dedicated oil-absorbing powders to stay shine-free all day. ### Can I use this primer with retinol, and in what order? You may use this primer with retinol by applying your retinol treatment first and letting it absorb completely before smoothing on the primer. This product provides some smoothing for oily skin, but a primer for this skin type needs stronger oil control ingredients to effectively manage shine and breakouts. ### How often should I use this primer? This makeup primer is a poor match for your oily acne-prone skin because it lacks sufficient oil-control ingredients. Makeup for this skin type needs oil-absorbing powders and mattifying agents to keep shine under control. ### Can this primer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin? This primer may not suit your oily acne-prone skin because it lacks enough ingredients to control oil, even though it smooths your skin. To work well for this skin type, a makeup primer needs ingredients that balance oil and keep shine under control. ### Is this primer fragrance-free and alcohol-free? Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. ## Alternatives for oily acne-prone skin - [COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/cosrx/advanced-snail-96-mucin-power-essence/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$24.99 at Amazon - [Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/drunk-elephant/protini-polypeptide-cream/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — High fit — CA$95.99 at Amazon - [belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/belif/the-true-cream-aqua-bomb/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — High fit — CA$49.99 at Amazon ## Routine for oily acne-prone skin ### AM - Cleanser: [CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/cerave/foaming-facial-cleanser/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$20.96 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$37.60 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$29.98 at Amazon - SPF: [CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/cerave/am-facial-moisturizing-lotion-spf-30/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$20.96 at Amazon ### PM - Pre-Cleanser: [Pyunkang Yul Deep Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/pyunkang-yul/deep-cleansing-oil/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$23.99 at Amazon - Cleanser: [CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/cerave/foaming-facial-cleanser/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$20.96 at Amazon - Cleansing Toner: [Caudalie Vinopure Clear Skin Purifying Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/caudalie/vinopure-purifying-toner/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$40.00 at Amazon - Serum or Treatment: [The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/the-ordinary/niacinamide-10-zinc-1/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$6.60 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$29.98 at Amazon ### Weekly - Pre-Cleanser: [Pyunkang Yul Deep Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/pyunkang-yul/deep-cleansing-oil/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$23.99 at Amazon - Cleanser: [CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/cerave/foaming-facial-cleanser/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$20.96 at Amazon - Enzyme Powder: [Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/dermalogica/daily-microfoliant/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$29.50 at Amazon - Cleansing Mask: [Sand & Sky Australian Pink Clay Porefining Face Mask](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/sand-and-sky/australian-pink-clay-porefining-face-mask/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — High fit — CA$79.99 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$37.60 at Amazon - Serum or Treatment: [The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/the-ordinary/niacinamide-10-zinc-1/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — CA$6.60 at Amazon ## Where to buy No store in Canada has a checked price for this product, so the page shows none. ## Ingredients Water, Glycerin, Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2, Butylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, C12-14 Pareth-12, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Vp Copolymer, Carbomer, Caprylyl Glycol, Arginine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether, Silybum Marianum Extract, Tocopherol, Red 33 Ci 17200 ## About the Lovi Fit Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.
