Glow Recipe Strawberry BHA Serum Primer

Unlike traditional primers that use silicone to create a physical barrier to smooth skin, this formula uses skincare actives like salicylic acid to refine texture and blur pores. This makes it feel significantly more lightweight and breathable on the skin.

While it contains salicylic acid, it is formulated for daily use. However, if you have highly sensitive skin or are currently using other strong actives like retinoids, it is best to patch test first or introduce it slowly into your routine.

Yes, the salicylic acid helps manage excess sebum production, which helps keep your complexion matte. It is designed to prevent that mid-day shine without stripping your skin of necessary moisture.

Apply this serum-primer after your moisturizer and sunscreen, but before your foundation or concealer. It acts as the final step of your skincare routine and the first step of your makeup application.

Because it is a silicone-free, serum-based formula, it is generally less prone to pilling than heavy silicone primers. To ensure the best application, allow your moisturizer to fully absorb into the skin for about a minute before applying the primer.
