As a mom, I'd forgotten about makeup, but this primer brought me back! At an age where my complexion is dull and pores are a concern, this product is a true lifesaver. The Banila Co Prime Primer Tone Up is exactly what it says - a 'tone up' and 'primer' in one. When applied, it naturally brightens the skin while adhering smoothly without any patchiness. It covers pores subtly and prevents makeup from caking, which I absolutely love.
Cons
The coverage is light, so you'll need a concealer if you have many blemishes. I have some dark spots, and due to the sheer coverage, a concealer is necessary.
Tip
It gives your skin an overall polished look, so you can go out without foundation - perfect for school drop-offs and pick-ups! Just apply sunscreen and this primer for a two-in-one benefit. It doesn't pill at all. There's hardly any scent, and it works well for my skin without causing any blemishes.

After applying sunscreen, I used a tone-up primer followed by Double Wear powder. The result was impressive - no caking and excellent adherence. I was also pleased with how it evened out my complexion.
Cons
I haven't used it long enough to find any drawbacks yet.
Tip
On days when your skin feels dry, try using a slightly richer sunscreen than usual before applying the primer. This can improve the overall adherence of your makeup.

It's excellent for brightening the complexion. I'm really enjoying using it. It doesn't cause makeup to cake, and it works great as a base. I often use it on its own too.
Cons
Unfortunately, it doesn't function as a primer at all... I apply a separate primer before using this as a base.
Tip
While it absorbs well when applied with fingers, I prefer using a puff to apply it.

I bought both the original and the brightening moisturizer, and the brightening one definitely gives a more radiant look. It's not a dewy finish, but rather a natural tone-up that brightens your complexion by just one shade.
Cons
Since it doesn't completely cover pores, it's best to apply foundation as thinly as possible even after using this as a primer.

The tone-up effect is amazing! It also covers pores very well.
Cons
The tone is a bit too bright, giving a slightly artificial feel.

The tone-up primer may be unfamiliar, but it effectively brightens the complexion.
Cons
It seems to slightly settle and feel a bit heavy, and I'm not sure if it properly fills pores.

The product has a pinkish tone that helps to brighten the skin tone and gives a slight filling effect on the pores.
Cons
I purchased the product expecting it to prevent darkening, but the darkening was unavoidable.
Tip
It is recommended to apply the product thinly using a spatula.

✔️ I purchased this product after watching it on YouTube. It applies naturally to my skin without any white cast or chalky appearance, and it also works well as a primer. I've been using it successfully so far!
Cons
There's not really any major downside. It's just a matter of adjusting the amount I use. That's probably more of an issue with my own hands and strength... Sometimes too much comes out at once, which can be a bit startling.

Wow, this is the best tone-up cream I've ever used. I used to dislike and no longer trust tone-up creams. But after trying this product at my friend's place, I immediately bought it and even got it for my mom who doesn't wear foundation. Normally, when I apply a tone-up cream, my face feels uncomfortable - there's a tightening and drying sensation, and over time, my face gets very oily. Even just touching my face, the oil would transfer. But with this product, I was pleasantly surprised. Even though it comes out quite generously, the application is so smooth. As long as my skincare is properly hydrating, it blends in seamlessly without any patchiness or cakiness, and at the same time, it evens out my skin tone perfectly. The skin expression is like a freshly cracked egg. It covers my pores completely, making it perfect for a bare-faced look. And when I apply foundation on top, my skin looks absolutely flawless. What's even better is that the foundation lasts so much longer. When I was removing my makeup after work, my skin just glided off, leaving my pores invisible and a nice, natural glow. I'm so happy with this product.
Cons
Why doesn't it have any sun protection? Were the drawbacks I listed about other tone-up creams all because they lacked sun protection? If this had sun protection too, it would be even better.

It applies more smoothly compared to the previous tone-up products. The tone-up effect is moderate, which is quite nice.
Cons
It seems to be slightly more drying compared to the Banila Co Classic or Hydrating products.
Tip
If you apply it after a moisturizing base, it should work well.
