The pore-blurring formula is packed with hydrating ingredients.
Ultra-hydrated, super-smooth, virtually poreless skin is a lofty goal — yet it’s one I’m constantly on the quest to achieve, with glass skin as my inspiration. I pat essences onto my dry cheeks, swipe pore-whittling toners across the bridge of my nose, and, as of late, have been favoring makeup with glassifying effects, too.
The aptly named Rodial Glass Primer, for instance, delivers all-day dewiness and has brought me several steps closer to achieving the lit-from-within skinstate I’m seeking. Interested? Now’s an ideal time to try it for yourself, as the primer is 20 percent off at Dermstore. Simply use the code REFRESH20 at checkout — and hurry, the sale ends soon.

The Rodial Glass Primer is an ultra-hydrating, complexion-smoothing base that enhances skin with or without makeup. True to its name, the lightweight formula creates a hydrated, plump, and ultra-glowy canvas — à la glass skin — and does so in seconds. A dime-sized dollop facilitates foundation gliding like silk across the skin. Moreover, the quenching formula keeps midday makeup cakiness at bay, and grips foundation to prolong a freshly applied appearance. Finely milled, light-reflecting pigments further enhance the primer’s glassifying effect — without reading glittery or makeup-y.
In addition to serving enviable dewiness, the primer blurs pores such that they appear virtually microscopic — yet another component of glass skin. I can personally attest; as someone whose makeup typically settles into, and emphasizes, overstretched pores, I’m delighted by the primer’s eraser-like effect across my nose. Similarly, the primer smooths fine lines around my mouth and eyes, which remain softer-looking throughout the day.
Though technically a makeup product, the formula features skincare ingredients on par with some of my favorite moisturizers and serums. Squalane, a vegan version of squalene — a lipid that maintains skin’s softness, found naturally in the body, and depletes with age — for instance. Glycerin — a hydrating humectant that draws moisture from the air and traps it into skin — is also present, and responsible for much of the primer’s plumping prowess.
Despite its dewy finish — which would require serious skincare layering to mimic — the primer feels feather-light. It’s velvety, entirely non-greasy, and plays well with my skincare routine, too.
