The Best Face Primers for Mature Skin, According to Shoppers

Blue agave extract, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide

“I loved this primer from the first time I tried it. It hydrates my face in an incredible way and makes my face look fresh and radiant, my skin no longer looks cracked when I put on the foundation and loose powder.”

TFC8® technology, black tea ferment, papaya enzymes, micro algae extract, avocado oil, silica

“This product is incredible, liquid gold! So silky to the skin and gives an amazing subtle glow. Friends noticed.”

Vitamins B, C and E, hyaluronic acid, squalane, shea butter

“Holy Grail! 40+ must have! Everything goes on smoother. Have re-purchased time and time again.”

S6Pro Complex®, licorice, butterfly bush, chia seeds

“This product feels so good on the skin and the blurring properties when on video or camera are AMAZING. It hides the little fine lines and wrinkles. Recommending to everyone I know.”

Celery seed extract, flaxseed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, vitamin E, MCT Oil

“I absolutely feel that this is a must to put on my face before foundation. It hides many imperfections and helps to make my face look ‘softer’.”

Shea butter, jojoba seed oil, camellia sinensis extract, centella asiatica, squalane, aloe vera

“This has to be the best primer ever for more mature skin. I am 61 and have not used makeup without primer for years. I ordered this along with the LG Baked Balance. Together they are heaven for an older face. I no longer have to worry about crease lines, dryness or fading. I’m quite picky when it comes to my primers, and this one beats them all.”

Hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5, magnesium, potassium

“This is a hydrating and nourishing primer that works wonderfully on dry, mature skin.
It gives me a more flawless and pore diminished look with or without makeup. A+”

Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, probiotic extract

“This primer really has it all. I have combo skin that’s really dry in areas and this was fabulous all over my face. My foundation looked fresh all day and stayed put. I’m 40 and this was the best primer I’ve found so far”

“I’ve never found a more perfect primer for my aging, combo skin…It blurred my pores, softened my fine lines and wrinkles and made my makeup stay in place…Vanish truly makes my imperfect texture smooth and gives much-improved lasting power to a variety of bases I use.”

Broad-spectrum invisible SPF 50, hyaluronic acid, pro-vitamin B5

“I’ve been wearing sunscreen on my face for over 20 years and this is by far my favorite. It rubs in so smooth and there is no greasy film. I have never burned my face wearing this and it layers under my CC cream perfectly. My new favorite sunscreen!”

Meadowfoam seed oil, bisabolol, licorice root

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen and couldn’t wait to try the SPF50 formula. It’s just as fantastic as the SPF40, same beautiful gel-like clear texture that feels great on the skin. It applies smoothly, blurring out my imperfections, and makes a great makeup primer.”

Vitamin B5, hyaluronic acid, pumpkin seed extract

“I started using primer to help with fine lines and wrinkles in my mid 40s. This product feels thicker than most I have tried, but I haven’t experienced any breakouts and have had several compliments on my skin looking younger, brighter and more even. I do used a full coverage powder and can definitely see it settling into lines when I don’t use this. A HUGE plus is it has the EWG approval and is safe for skin.”

Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide

“Just 2-3 little pumps over my entire makeup-free clean face and immediately saw results. Thin lines and some wrinkles were blurred and my face was pleasantly toned as well. Because of this [primer] I used even less tinted moisturizer…My face looks and feels moisturized all day which is something that every woman over 40 needs more of. I don’t think I’ll ever go back or try out another primer again [after] this one.”
