Does anyone know why this isn't more popular? It covers pores well and acts as a brightening moisturizer. When applied before your base makeup, it prevents darkening. It gives a lovely pink tint that evens out your skin tone beautifully.
Cons
I had to visit four different stores to find this! No wonder it's so popular. How can they offer this quality at such a price? Summer is coming, my delicate-skinned friends. Better get your primer ready soon!

It noticeably brightens the skin, has a pleasant scent, and provides excellent hydration
Cons
Be careful when applying, as it can make you look like a ghost if you use too much. Even with just a small amount, my friend asked what I had put on my face

It's on the richer side and has a thick consistency, but it finishes matte and velvety, perfect for winter use. Using a primer + this product + powder can create a nice, natural-looking makeup without foundation. When applied in the right amount, the brightening effect is pretty and natural-looking. It helps to somewhat conceal blemishes. As a primer, it evens out the skin texture nicely. The staying power is quite impressive. Among the more affordable brightening moisturizers, this one has relatively good ingredients. Unless you have super sensitive skin, it seems like a good value-for-money option that's easy to use.
Cons
It might feel a bit heavy for summer use. The fragrance is slightly strong. I've used products with even stronger scents, so I can tolerate this, but it's noticeable enough to be constantly aware of it. It has that artificial floral scent typical of some IPKN products. I also own the IPKN Perfume Powder Pact #21, which has an even stronger scent as it's labeled as 'perfume'. Compared to that, this is milder, but... tolerance varies from person to person. Be careful when applying it with a headache, as the scent might make it worse. While it's not noticeable when you're out and about, after removing makeup and washing your face, you might notice some redness and small bumps. Existing small blemishes seemed more pronounced. When your skin isn't in great condition, you might feel it more. Given its ingredients aren't as good as some decent foundations or cushions, it might be better to use those instead of going for a foundation-free look with this. I wouldn't recommend this for those with sensitive noses or sensitive skin. If you have very dry/dry/combination dehydrated skin, I suggest applying it after thoroughly hydrating your skin. Otherwise, after a few hours, your skin might look flaky with visible white patches.
Tip
Make sure to apply it to your neck and below your ears too. This ensures it doesn't look obvious and truly appears like your natural complexion.

Design / The design is clean and cute! It gives off a vibe that tweens and young teens would love to use. Usage / I just apply it like a regular cream, and it absorbs well even with a quick application. Product / It has a thin, lightweight, and hydrating formula! Just a small dab around the eyes, mouth, and other areas quickly brightens the skin. I recommend it for a natural, no-makeup look too. +There's surprisingly more product than expected. I'm on my third tube! 📸 / Even when I used less than the initial amount, it brightened my skin to about a 21-19 shade, despite my hands being quite tanned. With two more layers, it lightened to about a 15-13 shade. The last two photos show the difference between gently rubbing it in and really working it into the skin. The whitening effect remains either way, so if you want maximum brightening, layer it carefully. For a more natural look, one or two layers should be perfect! 🤍 / This is great for those mornings when you don't have time for elaborate makeup or if you feel your skin looks dull and dark. Above all, the value for money is impressive!
Cons
I'm not sure about its effectiveness as a primer. It tends to pill a bit if applied over oily skin. Not recommended for summer as it comes off easily with sweat!
Tip
Applying a mist over the cream seems to make it more hydrating and helps makeup adhere better! On days when dark circles are particularly noticeable, applying it under the eyes provides good coverage.

Wow, this is the best brightening moisturizer of my life! It's soft, hydrating, and absorbs quickly in a thin layer. It evens skin tone naturally without any patchiness. Makeup applies even better over this! As someone who rarely repurchases, I'm stocking up on this one. The value for money is incredible. Though the amount is small, it's perfect for carrying around. Please don't discontinue this product!
Cons
There's honestly nothing bad to say! The way it absorbs is top-notch. Sometimes I feel a bit of deep dryness if I rush through my skincare routine, but that's probably just my skin's issue.
Tip
I occasionally use this for a foundation-free look.

When you use this, your makeup doesn't come off easily and it becomes fluffy. Since there is a lot of oil in my eyes, even when I use it on my eyes, the lasting power gets a bit better. And it's also good because it brightens the skin tone well.
Cons
I don't think there's really anything bad about it.
Tip
Since there's a lot of oil in my eyes, my eye makeup tends to wear off easily, so I tried using this on my eyes. After applying this and then using powder and eyeshadow on top, the lasting power lasts a long time.

🩷Review🩷 Smooth Pore Minimizing Primer ☁️It applies thinly and adheres directly to the skin ☁️It brightens the complexion with a pink glow ☁️There was a bit of caking and lifting, though 😔 ☁️It applies smoothly and finishes with a soft, velvety texture ☁️It has a moisturizing feel and provides a slight cooling sensation ☁️There was no eye irritation or skin irritation 🎀Budget-friendly Pink Tone-Up Primer I purchased this very inexpensively from Daiso! I love how it brightens my complexion with a pink glow and leaves a soft, velvety finish, so I use it a lot for no-makeup makeup looks. It's truly a complexion-perfecting color primer. Plus, the moisturizing feel and slight cooling sensation are really nice and soothing on the skin. The cooling effect is noticeable but there's no eye irritation or skin irritation at all! I definitely recommend this budget-friendly primer from Daiso. There were a few minor downsides, but considering the price, I can overlook them. If you're looking for a primer that can both prime and tone up your complexion, give this one a try! I've almost used up my first one, so I plan to buy another soon. 😄
Cons
However, if you apply it too thickly, it can appear cakey and lift. So you'll need to use the right amount. That's why I've been using a spatula to apply just a small, thin layer onto my skin. Also, if you pat it on too much with a puff, it can start to lift a bit. 😔
Tip
When using a product like this, it's best to use a tool like a spatula or puff rather than your fingers. It really helps improve the application and finish of your makeup. 😊

I really liked this product. It's very moisturizing, leaving a dewy and not sticky finish. It evens out the skin tone without looking cakey, and helps minimize the appearance of pores. I was so impressed that I stocked up and bought 5 of them...haha The lasting power is around 3 hours in the winter.
Cons
The only potential downside might be the ingredients, but other than that...

My skin is really sensitive, but this product was amazing! It covered up all my blemishes and my makeup went on so smoothly after using it. I'm so glad I bought this, it was definitely the right choice! I highly recommend this to all students!
Cons
The only downside is that the amount feels a bit small. And since this is a tone-up primer, my face looks a bit washed out and floating.
Tip
I'm using the powder pact from Innisfree together with this product!
