What creators are saying
TikTokTikTok reviewers are obsessed with Glossier's Priming Moisturizer Rich, with many repurchasing multiple jars and praising how hydrating and smoothing it feels on skin. They love how it preps skin perfectly for makeup application and helps with redness and flare-ups, though there's mixed feelings about the formula change - some prefer the new unscented version while others miss the original lavender scent. Based on these reviews, it seems ideal for people with dry skin who want a moisturizer that doubles as a makeup primer and provides serious hydration without causing breakouts.
