Reviews
This is my go to for daily wear
"This is my go to for daily wear. I am 61 and this is perfect to smooth out any spots or redness. It looks flawless and works great when you don't want to do a full make-up. It makes me look very fresh. I have been usuing it now for several years."
— Catherine N. (5/5)
Skin perfect primer
"I’ve been using this for years. I love the smooth silky texture and the light coverage. Plus the spf is a big plus. Occasionally I’ll dust my mineral makeup over for fuller coverage."
— teresa d. (5/5)
Light and Smooth
"I have been using this primer for years. I apply it lightly and finsih with loose powder. Sometimes I wear it alone like a sunscreen. I am fair skinned but it does not come out too dark or orange- as long as the application is not too heavy. A subtle sparkle adds to the youthfulness of the finish. 10/10 and worth the money! (Tho it it is now $10 more than when I first started purchasing it. So now I only order through Dermalogica rather than getting it at Ulta. Would rather have the Dermalogica points! )"
— Christine B. (5/5)

"I’ve been using this primer for over 10 years, I love the blurring effect combined with spf. I always get compliments on my skin when I’m out and about, people can’t believe I don’t have foundation on"
— M (5/5)
Great performer
"I have been using the Dermalogica Skin Perfecting Primer for about 4 years and I love it. Why? Well, it only takes a very, very small amount and goes on smoothly. My pores are almost non-existent and it evens out my skin and makes it so smooth and soft. It makes a great under-eye concealer and eyeshadow base as well. I am 65 and I have not had to use foundation since I've been using this primer. It's nice to finally find a product that actually does what it says, plus some. No more wasting money on products that don't perform. My daily routine since using is cleanse, moisturizer, and primer. Brush on a little blush, and I can go about my day."

Q&A
Has the skin perfect primer changed? I received some in new packaging and it’s darker in color. I prefer the lighter tint of the age smart version.
Hello Kristi, Thank you for your question. We understand your concern and appreciate your feedback. Some products from the AGE Smart line are transitioning to the Dynamic Skin franchise. This is only a name change—the formulas remain the same. The updated Dynamic Skin line will include Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, Antioxidant Hydramist, Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum, Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50, Super Rich Repair, and Age Reversal Eye Complex. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, Dermalogica offers free returns within 30 days on dermalogica.com. You can start your return here: https://dermalogica.loopreturns.com/#/. Once we receive your returned items, we’ll issue a full refund to your original payment method.

Is this primer safe to use while pregnant?
Hello Sarah, Thank you for your question. We recommend consulting with your doctor for any specific advice they may have for you. Please note that most Dermalogica products, including the SkinPerfect Primer SPF 30, are safe to use during pregnancy. However, it’s generally advised to avoid products with higher levels of retinol used for exfoliation. Low levels of salicylic acid are widely considered safe during pregnancy by the medical community, but you’re welcome to avoid it if that’s your preference once you consult with your medical provider. I hope this information provides clarity. Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions or concerns. We are here to help. Kindly, Sandra
Is this the same age smart primer in a different package? I noticed it's not the same as I always buy with the burgundy stripe.
Hi there! Yes, the Skinperfect Primer SPF30 still has the same formula, only in different packaging! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Is this water-based or oil-based? Can I use any foundation with this primer?
Hello Angie, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. This is silicone based. We would be unable to speak to any other brands and how they work with our products, however this is in fact meant to be utilized under makeup and can be used as your primer step within the makeup routine! Kind Regards, Willow Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
I always wore #2 treatment foundation. Is this tone similar to that.
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Yes, this is similar! It is a medium tone and blends very well. Kind regards, The Dermalogica Team
