Let me share my skin type as a reference point for this review. In winter: - My skin feels dry after cleansing if I only apply toner - However, I get oily later in the afternoon or evening - I pay attention to moisturizing not just my face, but my body too In summer: - My skin feels stuffy if I apply toner, emulsion, and cream after cleansing - This sometimes leads to blemishes, indicating combination skin - So I use cream only before bed for skincare Here's my review after using the product for two weeks. I used it twice daily, in the morning and afternoon, and applied it under and over my mask when going out. The three key points that stood out to me while using the Gatsby T-Zone Pore Cover Cream were: • Hydration • Gentle on skin • Absorbs well (feels fresh) Since my skin tends to be dry after cleansing but gets oily over time, I'm particular about using toners and emulsions. I prefer lightweight toners and non-sticky emulsions. I used this product as the final step after cleansing, toner, and emulsion, applying it to my forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin before going out. At first, I was concerned that the initial moistness might affect my skin's oil balance, but the stickiness disappeared shortly after, leaving a nice level of hydration! Texture: The product applies smoothly and feels moisturizing at first. However, it doesn't stay overly moist and starts to feel powdery after a while. I'd describe it as having a pleasant matte finish. It's lighter than BB cream, leaving the skin feeling fresh, and I found it more satisfying than other primers. Unlike BB creams that sometimes clump in my pores, this product evened out my complexion comfortably. It was also easy to remove with my regular cleansing foam - it felt like wearing a typical BB cream, so a simple foam cleanser did the job. I usually avoid BB creams due to their stickiness and heavy feel, but this product is definitely more matte and less oily, making it great to use on its own instead of BB cream! Scent: There's a subtle citrus or slightly herbal scent, but nothing overpowering. The fragrance mostly fades after application. There's a faint hint of that typical BB cream scent, but it wasn't noticeable enough to bother me. You'd only notice it if you really focused on smelling it, and I didn't experience any aversion to the scent during use. Unless you're extremely sensitive to fragrances, it shouldn't be an issue! Coverage: As the name 'Pore Cover Cream' suggests, this product includes primer-like functions. For male users, it may not completely fill in pores, but you'll definitely notice a smoother application when using BB cream over it! At first, it might seem a bit bright, but after a few uses, I noticed it balanced out nicely, adjusting to my skin tone over time. It comfortably evens out the complexion! In my case, I usually get a bit oily in the T-zone after lunch, but applying this product noticeably improved that issue. Its smooth application makes it convenient to use on its own, which is an advantage over BB creams.
ConsIt seemed to rub off a bit around the nose area, possibly due to mask-wearing. Lightly blotting with oil-absorbing sheets after application can help reduce mask-related concerns. I didn't experience any significant blemishes, though occasionally felt a slight tingling sensation after application. However, I don't think it was severe enough to attribute it to the product.
TipProper amount control is crucial! Apply this product thinly after thoroughly hydrating your skin. It's sufficiently moisturizing, so rather than applying a lot at once, I started with the T-zone and gradually expanded to other areas, applying it meticulously. I mainly used it on my cheeks and forehead. For slightly sunken areas of the skin, try using a pad - it seems to apply more naturally that way. If you feel it's a bit too shiny, try lightly blotting with oil-absorbing sheets!
