Key IngredientsHyaluronic acid, niacinamide

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer is a silicone-free, gel-based hydrating primer designed to prep skin and lock makeup in place for up to 12 hours. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it delivers a dewy, lightweight finish that smooths the skin without feeling tacky or heavy. The primer is particularly suited for normal to dry skin types seeking hydration alongside grip—it layers cleanly under most foundations and blurs minor texture and pores. The gel texture absorbs quickly and won't clog pores, making it a favorite in the prestige grip-primer space. Packaged in a 1 oz pump bottle.
