Mario Badescu Moisture Magnet Face Moisturizer SPF 15, 2 fl oz — Lightweight Hydrating Primer for Combination, Dry & Sensitive Ski

Moisture Magnet SPF 15 is a lightweight, creamy facial moisturizer that locks in hydration while providing moderate daily sun protection and a satin primer finish.

Designed by Mario Badescu with a makeup-artist-approved texture, this 2 fl oz face cream combines glycerin, sesame seed oil enriched with Vitamin E, and gardenia extract with ferulic acid to hydrate, nourish, and improve the look of skin tone and texture. It doubles as a smoothing primer under makeup or a stand-alone daily moisturizer for combination, dry, and sensitive skin types. The formula offers SPF 15 to help protect against everyday UVA/UVB exposure while delivering a soft, glowy finish.

How does Moisture Magnet help hydrate skin without feeling heavy?

The formula uses replenishing glycerin and lightweight oils to attract and lock in moisture while maintaining a non-greasy, satin texture. Its creamy consistency spreads evenly and absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling soft rather than weighed down.

• Glycerin draws and retains moisture in the skin.
• Sesame seed oil with Vitamin E nourishes dry patches without excess oiliness.
• Velvety finish works well under makeup or alone.

Can I use this moisturizer as a makeup primer and what finish will it give?

Yes—its smoothing, satin texture creates an even base for foundation and concealer. Applied before makeup, it helps products glide on more smoothly and can subtly blur fine lines and uneven texture for a refreshed canvas.

• Satin finish reduces the appearance of dryness and patchiness.
• Makes foundation application smoother and more even.
• Pairs well with tinted moisturizers, BB creams, or liquid foundations.

What sun protection and skin-benefit ingredients are included?

The moisturizer includes SPF 15 for everyday UV defense and antioxidant-rich ingredients to support skin appearance. Gardenia extract provides ferulic acid to help improve visible tone and elasticity while Vitamin E from sesame seed oil helps nourish and soothe the skin surface.

• Broad daily defense: SPF 15 to reduce routine sun exposure impact.
• Antioxidants: Vitamin E and ferulic acid help protect against environmental stressors.
• Hydrators: Glycerin maintains moisture levels and helps smooth the skin.

How should I use this moisturizer for best results?

Apply to clean skin on the face, neck, and décolletage before sun exposure and after your toner and serums. Avoid the immediate eye contour; reapply during prolonged sun exposure or after heavy perspiration or swimming for continued SPF coverage.

• Morning routine: apply after cleansing and serums, before makeup.
• Reapply as needed after swimming, sweating, or extended sun exposure.
• Mix with tinted products for sheer coverage or layer under foundation for a luminous finish.

Who is this for: Moisture Magnet SPF 15 is formulated for people seeking a multi-tasking daily cream—those with combination, dry, or sensitive skin who want hydration, mild sun protection, and a primer-like finish. It suits anyone who prefers a lightweight, cosmetically elegant moisturizer that smooths texture, nourishes with antioxidant-rich oils, and minimizes the look of dryness while supporting a natural, healthy-looking glow.
