MERIT BEAUTY Great Skin Priming Moisturizer 50ml
A lightweight cream that provides time-release hydration, helping skin feel firmer and more elastic in as little as one week, all while soothing and prepping skin for makeup.
This lightweight cream does it all. Perfect for daytime use, it contains glycerin and hyaluronic acid for all-day hydration, oat extract to help soothe skin, and Great Skin™ Complex to help skin feel firmer and more elastic in one week. The non-comedogenic, sensitive-skin-friendly formula also absorbs quickly into the skin with zero residue, so makeup goes on smooth and wears better throughout the day.
After cleansing, massage 1-2 pumps into the skin.
Follow immediately with your next step — sunscreen or makeup — before the moisturiser dries down.
For added glow, apply Great Skin Instant Glow Serum with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid (sold separately) first, followed by 1-2 pumps of Great Skin™ Moisturiser.

Best For Oily Skin
I was unsure of this at first but I'm really impressed. Although it seems really thick it spreads and sinks in really easily and quickly. I only need to use a tiny bit (less than a pump really) right before my foundation. It's definitely a primer that happens to be a really good moisturiser, rather than just the latter & I only use it when wearing makeup and only on my t-zone which is oily. If I try to use makeup over it on the rest of my face, which is very dry, the satin look goes. Where i do use it my skin feels moisturised but not greasy & my foundation looks and lasts a lot better particularly on my nose, but it doesn't look dull or dry, and I've definitely no need to powder. With 50ml in a bottle I can see this lasting for ages too.

I like the smell, and this is nice and light, I have used it with the Great Skin Instant Glow Serum, but not under make up, I found it can pill, so didn’t get on with it for this purpose,
I can’t give it 5 stars because I am having quite a few issues with my skin having breakouts at the moment, I don’t think this is due to the serum, but an ongoing issue that was happening before I even tried it! But very lucky to have been given the opportunity to try this, I am a massive fan of Merits - minimalist, flush balm, Bronze balm and day glow.

Excellent moisturiser and primer
I use this every day and it's an excellent moisturiser. It gives good hydration that lasts all day without being greasy. It is the best primer before foundation I have ever used. It works well with cream, powder and liquid foundations. No roll off and helps the foundation to lay smoothly all day. Highly recommend!

Lovely base for make-up!
Really enjoying this moisturiser. It’s not too heavy or greasy and pairs perfectly with the glow serum for a gorgeous base for make up. A great Merit product!

I’m using this Moisturiser with The great skin serum and the minimalist concealer as my base! A lovely wining combination! My mature skin feels (and looks) smooth and even! Plus the beautiful easy to use bottle!

I recieved the great skin serum and moisturiser a couple of weeks ago and have used them as recommended. In the morning, cleanse then use the serum, then cream and the minimalist straight after.
I have combination skin and can be prone to breakouts so i was concerned this might be a bit much for my face but NO.
Two weeks on, no breakouts and my skin is soft clean, and so so glowy.
I'm 41 and I LOVE the youthful look it gives me. 10/10 for me.

Amazing
My skin has been transform whilst using this moisturiser. It absorbs beautifully into my skin leaving it super hydrated through the day. It works really well with the minimalist perfection stick and the both together have great coverage and results. Really enjoy using this moisturiser come primer.
