I did a side by side comparison
I have extremely dry skin so, hydrating products are a must for me. This new primer on it's own looked pretty similar to the OG but it did feel a bit more hydrating. It locks your makeup in place and you can still see the hydration peaking through even after powder. This is very comparable to the OG in my opinion.

Prefer original
I'm not sure if I recommend this one - I prefer without the niacidamine. I think this ingredient breaks me out. The next day after trying this I broke out all over. This might be great for someone who is not sensitive to this ingredient.

"Pore-Perfecting + Long-Lasting"
This primer is a total game-changer! It grips my makeup all day while giving my skin a healthy, radiant finish. The texture is a bit tacky at first (as expected), but once foundation goes on, everything looks super smooth and flawless. The best part? The 4% niacinamide actually helps improve my skin over time. I’ve noticed less redness and smoother texture after just a couple of weeks. It’s like skincare and makeup in one — love that! Perfect for oily or combo skin, and works beautifully under both lightweight and full-coverage foundations. Definitely a staple in my routine now! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

In love
I love this primer so much! This is one of my favorites from ELF. I have oily skin and I find that how sticky it is keeps my makeup lasting all day! When I use this primer I find I have to do less touch ups throughout the day and it gives me just enough hydration without making my skin an oil slick. I also really love how smooth it makes my makeup go on.

Safe for Sensitive & Acne Prone Skin!!
Before I used the pink power grip, I had NEVER used primers when doing makeup. Every single one broke me out, burned, or messed up my skin type, as I have very sensitive and acne prone combination skin. I saw someone recommend this on tik tok and decided to try it as a last ditch effort. When I say I use this every single time I do makeup, I mean it. It has never given me any issues and leaves my skin with a natural and honestly bright ven use it when my face looks dull lol. Highly recommend this primer if you have sensitive, acne prone, and/or combination skin and need your makeup to stay!!

Love that it has niacinamide
My review for this is the same as the original elf gripping primer, but it is nice that this has niacinamide! I love that ingredient for the skincare benefits.

Amazing!
This is my all time favorite primer! I love opening my tik tok videos with the tube stuck to my face😆 it stays all day and it doesn’t play around. It’s also been a huge game changer for my acne prone skin

Must have
I really like this free product! It's compact size makes it easy for on the go makeup needs and travel. I haven't noticed any significant help with evening my skin tone, but, I'm very happy with how it helps my makeup last much longer

Is this product non-comedogenic?

While our goal is to create gentle products, everyone is different and some may experience sensitivity to an ingredient or a combination of an ingredient and outside factors. Because we cannot predict how everyone may react, we do not claim that our cosmetics products are entirely non-comedogenic.

Can this be used with the Putty Primer & if so which would be used first ?
thaonny

from my experience, it can be used with any primer. just make sure that your foundation and concealer are both silicone-based if you use the putty primer, or your makeup might pill and look patchy.
