Brand: [HUDA BEAUTY](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/brands/huda-beauty)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry skin: flakiness, tightness, dehydration, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for dry skin; other products fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate hydration for your dry skin due to the presence of glycerin, which provides humectant action, and tocopherol, which offers antioxidant activity.
- While it provides general hydration benefits, it lacks specialized ingredients to deeply address dryness.
- The product is safe for your dry skin as it contains no prohibited or harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.

## 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- A 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, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31975502/))
- 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. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))

## Why other products fit dry skin better

- Cosmetic formulations containing 5% Centella asiatica extract showed the best efficacy in improving skin moisture and decreasing transepidermal water loss, while also exhibiting antiinflammatory properties in 25 volunteers compared to baseline measurements. ([Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/))
- Nanoemulsions containing Macadamia integrifolia seed oil successfully enhanced skin hydration and reduced wrinkles in human volunteers, outperforming conventional emulsions in skin hydration enhancement. ([Nanomaterials, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38668218/))
- Topical oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions containing glyceryl glucoside, natural moisturizing factors, and ceramide significantly improved skin hydration and barrier function while reducing visible dryness and tactile roughness in subjects with very dry skin compared to untreated sites and vehicles. ([The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22916312/))

## What reviewers say

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

### How well does Huda Beauty Easy Blur Primer work for dry skin?

Huda Beauty Easy Blur Primer works moderately well for dry skin, offering basic hydration and antioxidant protection from glycerin and vitamin E without causing irritation. However, because it lacks specialized deep moisture, a dry skin routine needs rich nourishing emollients and moisture-retaining ingredients like hyaluronic acid to provide optimal hydration and skin barrier support.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this primer a good fit for dry skin?

Glycerin helps keep your dry skin feeling soft by pulling in moisture, and tocopherol protects it with antioxidants. A makeup primer for dry skin needs extra rich moisturizers and ingredients that lock in hydration to deeply comfort and nourish dry areas.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Water do for dry skin?

Drinking more water helps increase skin hydration and may reduce clinical signs of dryness and roughness, particularly for individuals with lower prior water consumption.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29392767/)

### What does Glycerin do for dry skin?

Glycerin helps dry skin by drawing in moisture and keeping it locked in, which makes the skin feel much softer and smoother. It also supports your natural skin barrier to stop water from escaping easily. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing plant extracts to truly calm and hydrate dry patches.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/)

### Where does this primer go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

This makeup primer goes in your morning routine after applying your moisturizer and sunscreen, just before you start your makeup. It helps keep your skin feeling comfortable, but a makeup primer for dry skin also needs richer, deeply nourishing oils or butters to truly banish dryness.

### Can I use this primer with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this makeup primer with retinol by applying your retinol treatment first and letting it absorb before putting on the primer. The primer is safe and unlikely to irritate dry skin, but because it only offers moderate hydration, a makeup primer for dry skin also needs richer moisturizing ingredients and oils to deeply smooth and comfort dry areas.

### How often should I use this primer?

This primer works for your dry skin, though other products fit it better because it offers only moderate hydration. To properly care for dry skin, a product of this type needs richer moisturizing ingredients and oils to deeply smooth and soften dry areas. Glycerin helps provide basic moisture, and the safe formula is unlikely to cause irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Can this primer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

This primer is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your dry skin, as it is safe and free of harsh ingredients that typically cause irritation. However, because it only offers moderate hydration, dry skin often needs richer creams with heavy oils or butters and deeply nourishing ingredients to stay truly soft and smooth.

### Is this primer fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
