Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Grip Primer — 1.0 oz Invisible Gel with Hyaluronic Acid, Dewy Long-Wear Base

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Grip Primer is an invisible gel primer with purified hyaluronic acid that hydrates skin and gives makeup a dewy, long-lasting hold.

This lightweight, water-gel primer creates a smooth, gripping base so foundation and color stay put while skin receives a boost of moisture. Designed to sit under makeup without pilling or heaviness, the formula uses purified hyaluronic acid to attract and retain hydration, helping dry or dull skin look plumper and more radiant. Apply a thin layer to cleansed, moisturized skin and let it set briefly before layering foundation or tinted products.

How does this primer help makeup last longer?

The gel texture forms a subtle, tacky surface that helps powders, creams, and liquid foundations adhere better, reducing movement and fading through the day. Because it creates an even canvas, products apply more uniformly and resist separating into lines or settling into texture.

• Invisible gel base that improves product adhesion
• Creates an even surface so foundation glides on smoothly
• Minimizes transfer and helps makeup maintain fresh appearance

Can it hydrate skin without feeling greasy?

Yes—this primer delivers hydration through purified hyaluronic acid in a lightweight, non-oily gel. It absorbs quickly, leaving a dewy finish rather than heavy residue, so skin feels refreshed and primed without slickness.

• Hyaluronic acid attracts and locks in moisture
• Water-gel texture absorbs fast for a non-greasy feel
• Leaves a subtle, healthy-looking sheen ideal for dry or dull skin

Will it work under different types of makeup?

The primer is formulated to be compatible with a wide range of foundations and color products, including liquids, creams, and powders. Its neutral, invisible finish doesn't alter shade or finish, so you can layer your usual products without shifting color or texture.

• Safe to use beneath liquid, cream, and powder foundations
• Doesn’t interfere with color payoff or finish of makeup
• Great as a base for both everyday and long-wear looks

How should I apply the Hydro Boost Hydrating Grip Primer?

For best results, apply a thin layer to clean, moisturized skin and allow about 30 seconds for the primer to set into a tacky but invisible layer. Follow with foundation, concealer, or tinted moisturizer; a little goes a long way, so start small and add more only where needed.

• Apply to clean, moisturized skin for even coverage
• Wait ~30 seconds for the primer to set before layering makeup
• Use sparingly around areas prone to creasing or dryness

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Grip Primer is aimed at anyone seeking extra hydration and improved makeup longevity—especially people with dry or dull skin who want a dewy, smooth base without heavy silicone feel. It’s also suited to those who prefer an invisible, fast-absorbing primer that enhances makeup performance without altering shade or finish.
