We replaced plain water with nutrient-rich botanical extracts (like Aloe Juice) to create an undiluted base. This high-concentration formula ensures maximum potency, delivering stronger “grip” and deeper nourishment, one drop is all you need. Hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin instead of silicones to create its gripping effect.
- HOW TO USE: Apply evenly to face before makeup using your fingertips to pat into skin. The warmth of your fingers will help the product melt into skin for even application. Allow 30 seconds to set before applying makeup. Stop use if irritation.
- DEEP HYDRATION WITH NIACINAMIDE & HYALURONIC ACID: Packed with Sodium Hyaluronate and Niacinamide, this primer floods thirsty skin with moisture while refining pores and brightening skin tone.
