Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for combination skin as glycerin provides humectant action, but lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas.
  • The formula provides general skincare benefits like hydration but lacks specialized ingredients to effectively address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The safety profile is good, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 1.8k+ reviews

Based 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 Huda Beauty Easy Blur Primer for acne-prone skin?

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, 2017

    Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020

  • 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.
