Product description
What it is: A lightweight facial primer designed to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and smooth fine lines while providing a long-wearing base for makeup.
Key ingredients: The formula is enriched with Centella Asiatica Leaf Water at 34,650ppm, plus niacinamide and pantothenic acid to support skin tone, barrier hydration and comfort.
Texture & use: The product has a soft, cream-to-smooth texture that spreads thinly across the skin. Apply a thin layer to cleansed skin, concentrating on areas with visible pores or excess oil (T-zone, nose, cheeks). Let it set, then follow with foundation or powder for a more even, longer-lasting finish. A little goes a long way—use sparingly to avoid product build-up or pilling when layered with certain foundations.
Performance notes: The primer creates a blurring, airbrushed effect that helps makeup adhere and reduces shine for several hours on oily and combination skin. It’s clinically tested for skin irritation and is formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive skin. While it helps prevent moisture loss, those with very dry or mature skin should test application technique to avoid emphasizing dry patches.
What’s included: One tube of pore-minimizing face primer formulated for everyday and long-wear makeup routines.

Matte, blurred finish
Leaves skin soft while minimizing pores and small imperfections. Feels refreshing and helps control oil through the day; I’ll repurchase.

Adele 5/5
Transforms mature skin texture
Lovely on my 52-year-old skin—blurs large pores, smooths texture and leaves a silky, slightly tinted finish that evens tone. I use it on my T-zone and under-eye brightener areas for a natural look.

Caused patchy finish and return trouble
Didn’t work for my mature, dry skin — makeup clumped and looked cracked. I returned it to the seller but later had a dispute where the return was marked lost; keep your return receipts in case charges reappear.

I have extremely large pores and it helps noticeably with their appearance.

Finally a primer that performs
At 67 with combination skin I’ve tried many primers. This one blurs pores, gives a nice matte finish and lets my powder foundation look smooth and last.

Too heavy for oily skin
Texture felt a bit thick for my oil-prone skin; seems better for drier complexions. Didn’t aggravate my acne or rosacea.

Dune 5/5
Extends makeup wear
Lightweight and non-sticky. Keeps makeup looking fresh for long days without settling into fine lines; controls shine on my combination skin.

東京 5/5
Long-lasting smoothness; best for small pores
Creamy primer that dries to a smooth, dry finish. Beige tint blends in easily. Tames small pores well but doesn’t erase large nostril pores. Oil control is modest—after 2–3 hours I saw some shine, though blotting left a lasting matte feel. Contains centella, spreads thinly so it’s economical. With powder foundation, apply a very thin layer to avoid any pilling.

Kieran O’Rourke 5/5
Silky matte base that holds up
Applies like silk and softens pores and fine lines without heaviness. Controls sebum so the T-zone stays matte longer; cica helps calm skin, making it a strong option for humid days and travel.
