Honestly most primers are essentially a fancy moisturizer in a smaller bottle.

I am pretty sure maybelline makes a copy version of the one you posted.

I use the Maybelline hydrating primer. I do also use a moisturizer with spf underneath, but the primer itself feels pretty moisturizing. I think you could use just that if you’d want.

I’m a makeup artist- the answer depends on your skins needs. What is the moisturizer for- hydration? What is the primer for? Many top makeup artists don’t use primer, JUST. A good moisturizer. But really, more
Important than anything is a GOOD SUNSCREEN EVERY SINGLE DAY EVEN IF ITS POURING OR SNOWING!!!!!!

I personally put a moisturizing sunscreen on every morning and makeup goes nicely over that. However if you want a good inexpensive primer, layer the elf one on top of that. Elf power grip primer.
Sunscreen- I personally use curology system or jergens natural glow for face (you get moisture sun protection and tiny drop of self tanner)

Elf makes an awesome sunscreen primer called SUNTOUCHABLE it’s def very moisturizing. It irritates my eyes though but people love it.

Is there any advantage to using a primer instead of (or in addition to) moisturizer if you aren't going to wear any foundation on top of it?

You don’t really need both, it’s not halacha. A good moisturizer without slippery residue will work

Do you realize that it’s cheaper to buy what you always buy than buy several cheaper options to review?

U must wear sunscreen every day unless you’re in a dark room with no windows.
House to car
Driving in car
Walking around your house in sunlight
All that sunlight ages your skin

So easy to just have sunscreen be in your daily moisturizer. What could be easier?
