Merlot lightweight daily facial moisturizer 4 oz — red grape seed extract, zinc oxide, fast-absorbing primer

Merlot Moisturizer 4 oz is a lightweight daily facial hydrating cream with red grape seed extract, aloe, and zinc oxide that absorbs quickly and primes skin for makeup.

Designed from a long-standing formula introduced in 2001, this 118 mL moisturizer blends antioxidant-rich red grape seed extract with soothing aloe and protective zinc oxide. It delivers non-greasy hydration, a subtle grapefruit scent, and a texture that works well alone or under cosmetics. The product targets everyday moisture needs while offering antioxidant support and a fast-absorbing finish.

How does this moisturizer fit into my daily routine?

Use Merlot Moisturizer after cleansing and toning to lock in hydration and create a smooth base for makeup. Its lightweight consistency absorbs rapidly, so you can layer sunscreen or foundation shortly after application. The formula is gentle enough for morning and evening use when skin needs reliable everyday hydration.

• Apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck following cleansing
• Pat gently until fully absorbed before applying sunscreen or primer
• Suitable for daily use—morning and night

What benefits come from the grape seed extract and zinc oxide?

Red grape seed extract supplies antioxidants that help protect skin from environmental stressors, while zinc oxide contributes to additional topical protection and skin-soothing properties. Together they create a formula focused on maintaining skin comfort and a smooth complexion without heavy oils. These ingredients support the moisturizer’s role as a protective daily hydrator rather than a treatment product.

• Red grape seed extract for antioxidant support
• Zinc oxide for topical protective benefits
• Aloe vera to calm and nourish the skin

Will this moisturizer leave my face oily or affect makeup application?

No—Merlot Moisturizer features a non-oily, ultra-gentle texture that absorbs quickly and dries to a soft finish. It doubles as a fast-absorbing primer, helping makeup adhere smoothly without pilling. The light grapefruit scent dissipates soon after application and won’t interfere with fragrances you layer on afterward.

• Non-greasy formula that absorbs fast
• Works as a primer under foundation and powder
• Light grapefruit aroma that fades quickly

Is this product suitable for sensitive or mature skin?

The gentle base and aloe make it appropriate for many skin types seeking everyday hydration, including skin showing early signs of aging that benefits from antioxidant support. However, those with specific sensitivities should patch-test first because of the fragrance and active ingredients. It’s intended to support general skin comfort and smoothness rather than replace targeted clinical treatments.

• Formulated to be gentle and lightweight
• Antioxidants to support skin exposed to daily stressors
• Patch-test recommended for very sensitive skin

Who is this for: Merlot Moisturizer 4 oz is aimed at anyone seeking a non-greasy everyday facial moisturizer that doubles as a makeup primer and provides antioxidant support. Ideal for people who prefer lightweight textures, brief absorption times, and a subtle citrus scent, it suits normal to combination skin and those wanting a simple daily hydrator with additional topical protection from zinc oxide.
