Everything you need to know about DHC Velvet Skin Coat Primer

What it is

The DHC Velvet Skin Coat® Primer is a makeup primer designed to prepare the skin for foundation application. Its transparent gel formulation aims to reduce the appearance of skin texture irregularities, such as fine lines and pores, while providing a matte finish by controlling oil production. It can be used alone for a natural appearance.

Key ingredients and their functions

• Cyclopentasiloxane - smoothing agent
• Dimethicone - emollient
• Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer - film-forming agent
• Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer - texture enhancer
• HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer - film-forming agent
• Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil - conditioning agent
• Silica - absorbent

How it works

The DHC Velvet Skin Coat® Primer works by using a blend of silicone-based ingredients like Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone, which help create a smooth surface on the skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and pores. Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer and Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer enhance the texture, ensuring an even application. The inclusion of HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer aids in forming a breathable film on the skin, contributing to long-lasting wear. Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil acts as a conditioning agent, helping maintain skin's softness. Silica absorbs excess oil, giving the skin a matte finish. Together, these ingredients allow for improved makeup application or a naturally smooth skin appearance when used alone.
