'I look younger!' — 55+ year-old shoppers swear by Fran Drescher's $23 primer for smooth skin
We are obsessed with Fran Drescher — her voice (duh), her style, and her secrets to keeping her complexion gorgeously youthful and radiant. While we can't easily obtain the first two, it turns out her glowing skin is within reach for us plebs. Drescher partnered with cosmetics brand Laura Geller on a collection of primers designed to impart a custom finish, from an ethereal glow to perfectly matte. Other stars like Bethenny Frankel and Paulina Porizkova have joined suit. But back to Drescher. The star's go-to? The Hydrate Spackle Primer and it's on sale for just $23 (down from $36) for Cyber Monday!
The primer is especially effective on aging skin because it doesn't settle into creases and fine lines. Perfect for normal to dry skin types.
Why is it a good deal?
The Laura Geller primer is a fan-favorite and just a few dollars shy of the lowest price we've ever seen!
Why do I need this
The primer is a must-have in Drescher's makeup bag. She shared on Instagram that it's the ultimate 2-in-1 — it's so hydrating that she can skip using a moisturizer! It's formulated to slough away dry, flaky skin and create a smooth, porcelain-like finish. It's so lightweight, not greasy or tacky, that you forget it's even there. Plus, you can wear it alone or under foundation.
"It keeps my makeup looking bright and beautiful all day long," she gushed.
What reviewers say:
Drescher is far from the primer's only fan. It's received praise from many shoppers over the age of 55.
"Now that I’m 67 years old, wow, what a difference," shared a shopper. "I’ve spent a small fortune on all kinds of foundations, and my skin just didn’t look good. With this primer in champagne, my skin is transformed into a younger-looking, smoother complexion. It’s a keeper, for sure."
Another long-time fan shared: "I'm a 58-year-old woman with beautiful skin. This is the only primer for me, and I've been using it for years!"
A third chimed in: "Excellent primer! I am 55 years old, and I have tried everything to get rid of the fine lines under my eyes. Finally, I found a primer that I put on before my powder foundation, and it doesn't settle into fine lines. I look younger! It's very lightweight, but it works. Everyone should try it because it really does work. I'm never going to buy anything else."
And like any beauty product on the market, it's not a miracle worker for skin, as one reviewer noted: "The product was okay, I didn't notice a significant change in the appearance of my skin when using it. The cream glides on nicely, makes skin feel nice and soft, and provides an even base under makeup or bb/cc cream."
Shoppers and celebs alike love the primer because it's hydrating and makes makeup glide on effortlessly.

The user-friendly touchscreen lights up while in use and features time and temperature settings (from 90-400 degrees Fahrenheit), as well as four functions: Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate, the latter of which is a cool feature that isn't always included with air fryers.
