What matches
Hydro Grip's build: aloe leaf water, water and glycerin open both lists in that order, with alcohol, a polyglyceryl-10 ester, PVP for the tacky film, betaine, sodium hyaluronate and an agave extract.
The trade-off
Milk thickens its gel with PEG-150 distearate and carbomer and adds pullulan and sugars (sorbitol, maltose, xylitol); MCoBeauty uses an acrylates crosspolymer and adds niacinamide, panthenol and vitamin E.
Tacky gel primer that makes foundation last through long days. Best on normal to dry skin, under liquid formulas.

Same clear gel with the same sticky grip, and it also contains hyaluronic acid.
What it does worse: Half the bottle size, but a fraction of the cost per ml. The tack lasts a little longer before it sets.
