Description:
The Benton Guava Hydrating Makeup Base Prep Primer is a 3-in-1 hybrid primer that combines the hydration of a serum, the smoothing effect of a base prep step and the grip of a makeup primer in one lightweight formula.
Guava Leaf Water, Panthenol, low-molecular Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, Ectoin, Beta-Glucan and Ceramide NP help hydrate, soothe and soften dry or uneven-feeling skin, while flexible film-forming ingredients create a smoother surface for makeup.
The finish is light and serum-like rather than thick or overly slippery, making it especially useful when dehydration or rough texture tends to affect how foundation sits.
🍑 Just Peachy Formulation Insight:
What makes this primer especially interesting is that it is doing three different jobs at once.
The skincare system helps hydrate and soften the skin, the base-prep system helps smooth dry or uneven texture, and the film-forming system creates the flexible grip that helps foundation sit more neatly over the top.
What makes the formula work so well is the balance between those three systems. Rather than relying on a thick, silicone-heavy layer to create a smoother finish, it combines hydration and softening care with a light smoothing film over the skin. The result is a more comfortable, even-feeling base that can help makeup apply more smoothly, especially when dehydration or dry texture tends to leave you looking patchy or uneven.
Suitable for: Normal · Dry · Combination · Sensitive
Texture: A lightweight, serum-like primer that spreads easily and dries down to a smooth, hydrated film.

What this does for your skin
What this does for your skin
Foundation can cling to dry patches or sit unevenly when the skin underneath is dehydrated or rough.
The Benton Guava Hydrating Makeup Base Prep Primer combines lightweight hydration with smoothing base-prep care and flexible grip to create a more even surface for makeup.
The result is better-prepped skin, improved makeup adherence and a smoother finish without the thick, slippery feel of a traditional heavy primer.

Directions for use
Directions for use
After your morning skincare, apply a small pea-sized amount in a thin, even layer over the face and allow it to absorb fully before makeup.
If certain areas are especially dry or rough, add a second light layer only where needed rather than applying a large amount all at once.
If using a moisturising chemical sunscreen, keep the moisturiser step light and apply the primer after sunscreen once it has settled. If using a tone-up physical sunscreen, Benton recommends applying the primer first, followed by sunscreen.
You can also mix a small amount with a matte foundation for a softer, more hydrated finish.
