In much the same way that a painter uses primer to smooth a surface so paint better adheres to it, facial primers even out the surface of the skin, providing a smoother canvas for a lasting make-up finish — or a natural, no make-up look. The last step in a skin care regimen, a primer also acts as a protective barrier and helps seal in the benefits of skin care products.

While the majority of cosmetic makeup primers focus on improving the appearance and wear of make-up, Dermalogica Primers bridge the divide between skin care and color cosmetics by optimizing skin health benefits to improve the look and feel of the skin.
