  Pros

  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.
