After using it again after a long time, I'm really impressed. A long time ago, I bought and used a different primer from Anna Sui, and that was also good, but this pudding primer is the real deal. The color is a light apricot (skin tone), and when applied, it lifts the tone by about half a shade. It's not as much as a tone-up cream product, but it makes the skin look slightly brighter and more refined. The product description didn't mention it, but it also has a slight sun protection function (SPF24 PA++). I was originally planning to apply sunscreen and then this on top, but except for the height of summer, I think just applying this one product will be enough, which is even better! The texture is something like a jelly-type with a flowing feel, and it's a shape-memory formula, so even after applying it, over time it flattens back out to look brand new. The feeling of applying it to the skin is like spreading a moisturizing gel, but it's not that it stays constantly moisturizing, rather it has a taut, fitting sensation on the skin's surface. It's not like the silicone-coated, powdery feel that's common in other pore primers from other brands. But it's also not like an essence either. It finishes with a taut, film-like effect, almost like a thin veil over the face. Even though there are no pearls in it, it has a glossy sheen. It can't perfectly fill or erase pores and unevenness, but the smooth coating (?) effect makes the foundation or cushion applied on top adhere incredibly well... The makeup-enhancing effect is definite. And its true value becomes apparent over time... the makeup really lasts an incredibly long time. Even when wearing makeup for over 8 hours, the base doesn't break down nearly as much compared to normal. And there's a subtle glow that comes through the cushion, making the skin look radiant and healthy (not a shiny, wet look, but a subtle porcelain-like glow). It's clearly a product made for the hot, humid climate of Japan... the effect of keeping the makeup looking pristine and long-lasting is far superior to the other primers I've used before. Since I have oily skin, in the summer Even when I do a full face of makeup, the T-zone makeup starts to wear off within an hour or two, but this product seems like it'll be really great for the summer. The Anna Sui signature design, the vintage-style black jar, is also cute, and the subtle rose scent is nice too.^^ The jar looks small, but given the product's nature of being applied thinly all over the face, it should last a long time. I really like this primer, it's almost a holy grail product for me... When I finish this, I'll definitely repurchase!
ConsIt's important to be careful not to contaminate the jar-type container. While a spatula is provided, it still needs to be wiped clean each time it's used.

The jelly-like texture is amazingly bouncy, and you only need to use a tiny amount. It works great as a tone-up cream too! I always scrape the bottom of the jar and repurchase this holy grail product.
ConsThe price is a bit steep :( There's also a learning curve when first using the product, as the unfamiliar texture can be tricky to apply without clumping.
TipJust a small amount goes a long way when you spread it out evenly!

ConsIt attracts dust very easily. The included spatula is too small and easy to misplace The price-to-quantity ratio is not very good

But it turns out it's been reformulated, so I wasn't sure about using it at first. However, the texture is like a pudding, and when I apply it with a sponge, it feels cool and clings nicely to the skin. It works great as a primer, helping to even out my skin tone. Since my sensitive skin hasn't had any issues with it, I've been using it regularly and find it quite nice.
ConsThe old primer was a bit better, but this one seems a little drier than the previous version. Still, the smooth, bouncy texture absorbs well into the skin. The main issue is that the pudding-like consistency makes it inconvenient to use a spatula, and using my fingers doesn't seem very hygienic. I think a sponge applicator works best.
