*Questions About Hydrating Primer
1. At which step of the skincare routine do I use the hydrating primer?
– Apply the hydrating primer at the end of your daily skincare routine and as the first step of your makeup rouine. It will work synergistically with any base makeup product to enhance adherence and staying power.
2. How is it different from a pore primer?
– The hydrating primer builds a light moisture barrier to refine the skin surface and boost the effect of the base makeup without adding a thick, pasty layer that clogs the pores.
3. Won’t it cake up or slide around?
While it is high in moisture content, the primer is rapidly absorbed without stickiness or residue to provide a smooth makeup base that holds the base makeup in place without caking or sliding around.

At first glance, I was a tad skeptical about hince’s Second Skin Hydrating Primer; could it really elevate my makeup routine? However, after trying this delightful concoction from the very start of my beauty journey in Los Angeles to windy city streets and diverse occasions around Chicago, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The unique water-in-gel texture felt utterly weightless on application yet transformed into an ethereal finish—subtle but remarkably polished! It didn’t just sit on top but integrated flawlessly with skin tone nuances thanks to those meticulous microparticles. Gone are patchy touch-ups as it holds its ground admirably even through mid-afternoon meetings and nighttime gatherings at downtown bars. Also relieved that the natural plant ingredients gifted me much-desired hydration while keeping excess oil under wraps—a dream combination for dry-oily skinned explorers alike.
