The Edyt Score

4.3 / 5.0

Key ingredients 4.2/5

The small hydrating face primer with vitamin C. Slip under makeup, not a serum dose.

Targets 4.3/5

For dry skin that wants a dewy base. Skip it if you need a gripping gel.

Formula standards 4.3/5

A small tube. A pea. Vitamin C in a primer is not a treatment.

The verdict

Fine as a travel primer. The large tube if this is daily.
