How it works

This primer works by using key ingredients to create a base layer on the skin. Emollients like Isododecane and Cyclopentasiloxane help to improve texture and appearance by smoothing the skin. Polysilicone-11 enhances the feel and finish, minimizing the look of pores and lines. Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide provide SPF 15 protection against UV rays. Polymethylsilsesquioxane forms a film to maintain the primer's integrity, while Peg-10 Dimethicone and Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate maintain the stability and consistency of the formula. The combination of these ingredients works together to prepare the skin for makeup application while aiming to prolong its wear and feel comfortable on the skin.
