My Take On MAC Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion Serum Hydratant

(skin type: combination, dehydrated, sensitive & acne-prone)

One fine day I went to the MAC store, HK to buy a foundation. The sales assistant used this product on my face before applying the foundation. She told me that this serum also acts as a hydrating primer for dry and combination skin. The next thing I knew, it’s going home with me! 😄

Product packaging & texture- Look & Feel:

MAC prep + prime moisture infusion serum hydratant comes housed in a small carton. The product further comes in a beautiful dark-colored frosty glass bottle with a black cap and pump packaging. The product cap has a twist lock on-off slider that makes the packaging leakage-proof & travel-friendly! The outer carton plus the product container both feature all the necessary details related to the product.

MAC prep + prime moisture infusion serum hydratant has a transparent, fluid texture. The consistency is neither too thick nor too watery like an essence. There is no fragrance to it which is great for people with a sensitive nose!

How To Use MAC Prep + Prime Serum Hydratant

I usually take 2-3 pumps of this serum and apply it all across my face & neck by gently patting the skin, no rubbing at all. The packaging has a locking mechanism to prevent product spillage. So to get the product out of the bottle, you need to first move the slider toward your right side to unlock it. Then press down and take a few pumps, as per your requirement into your palm or fingers, and then apply the serum liberally over your skin.

How Does MAC Serum Hydratant Work – Performance Details:

MAC moisture infusion serum hydratant, when applied it instantly gets absorbed by the skin, leaving it hydrated, soft, and supple. I don’t have large-pore issues. But whenever I use this serum, my skin looks smooth, firm, and radiant. True to its name, it keeps the skin moisturized for a fair amount of time and acts as a wonderful primer as well.

I seldom use it as my regular serum as I already have other hydrating serums. Since this is pretty expensive, I only use it as my moisturizer-cum-primer when I am doing my make-up (especially in hot & humid months). 

Honestly, I found it quite nourishing and efficient for my dehydrated, combination skin (which leans toward dry mostly) when I was in Hong Kong & India . Here, in London, unfortunately, I don’t find this serum to be that moisturizing (due to climate change, maybe)! But still, my skin likes this product!🙂 

Besides, the oily skin beauties may find it greasy! During summers or in humid weather, if you use this serum-cum-primer along with a hydrating moisturizer, then it will definitely make your skin oily within 2 hours! 

MAC prep plus prime serum is so hydrating that you can wear it alone as your moisturizer. Trust me, I prefer to use this hydrating primer as my moisturizer (no extra lotion/serum) in the summers because, during that season, I sweat a lot!

And during colder months or other times, I first moisturize my face with a nourishing cream followed by MAC moisture infusion serum hydratant (as a primer), foundation/BB cream, and I am good to go! 

Make-up doesn’t look cakey and stays intact when I use MAC serum hydratant as a primer underneath the foundation. If you want that nice dewy finish to your skin post applying foundation, then use it as a primer. It totally depends on your skin type and concerns! This product is multi-tasking and flexible, so use it as per your choice 🙂.

Is MAC Prep+prime Serum Hydratant Worth The Try?

Suffice to say, MAC Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion Serum Hydratant is a lovely lightweight serum that does a great job as a hydrating make-up primer as well! It nourishes, rejuvenates, and smoothes the skin so well that your dull skin will be in love with it!
