Excellent sebum control Noticeably reduces oil on the nose and T-zone after application. Especially beneficial for combination skin, providing all-day makeup stability. Less makeup breakdown in summer or when wearing masks. 2. Natural blue tone-up effect Light blue color refreshes dull skin. Color correction effect that neutralizes redness and sallowness. Doesn't whiten, but gives a natural, translucent correction. 3. Lightweight formula with excellent absorption Watery texture that gently sinks into the skin like water. Non-sticky, with a clean finish on the surface despite lacking deep hydration. Spreads smoothly without pilling, even when applied quickly by hand. 4. Great value for money Very affordable at 7,000-10,000 won for 30ml. Recommended for daily use, students, or as a first primer. 5. Added sun protection (SPF28 PA++) While not enough to skip separate sunscreen, it provides sufficient basic protection for quick makeup routines when heading to work or school.
Cons! [Drawbacks] 1. May be somewhat drying for dry skin types As it's effective at controlling oil, those with dehydrated skin might experience tightness. May accentuate flakiness when used alone on dry skin, especially in fall-winter. 2. Might appear too matte for those seeking a healthy skin look The semi-matte finish may seem flat to those wanting radiant skin. Could make skin appear dull, so it's recommended to pair with a lively blush or glowy base. 3. Limited pore coverage Doesn't fill in pores or texture like silicone-based products. Focused on oil control, so additional products may be needed for pore coverage.
Tip★ [Usage Tips] 1. Adjust application based on skin type Oily/Combination: Can use Cezanne alone. Add finishing powder for perfect setting. For dry areas: Apply moisturizer + hydrating base first Apply Cezanne sparingly, mainly on T-zone → Prevents dryness + Controls oil 2. Let it dry for 2-3 minutes before foundation Cezanne has a watery texture, so applying foundation immediately may cause patchiness. Letting it set slightly before foundation application increases adherence + enhances longevity. 3. Use as a color corrector The blue base can be used locally on areas with redness, especially cheeks/forehead/chin, for tone evening. Apply thinly to avoid a chalky look. 4. Blot excess oil from skincare before use May pill if used with oily moisturizers/sunscreens. Blot skincare with a tissue before applying Cezanne for perfect setting. 5. Recommended for student makeup or working professional no-makeup looks Provides tone-up + sun protection + oil control in one step, perfect for minimal makeup days. Gives a clean, bare-faced look ideal for daily routines.

Thanks to its blue color characteristics, it's especially effective in correcting yellowish or dull complexions, making it a perfect match for those with yellow undertones or those needing to cover redness. The formula has a light, fluid emulsion texture that glides smoothly onto the skin, adheres quickly, and leaves a non-sticky, matte finish - a feature I particularly appreciated. Additionally, it offers SPF28·PA++ sun protection, which is a bonus as it allows for use without sunscreen for quick outings.
ConsWhile it may vary depending on skin type, this product generally has a matte finish, which might feel slightly drying for those with dry skin or prone to dead skin cell buildup. Also, since the product has a blue tint, applying too much can make you look pale or unnatural, so it's crucial to control the amount used. It's especially recommended to apply a thin layer, focusing on the T-zone.
Tip1. For a natural skin tone correction, apply a small amount thinly, focusing on the T-zone, bridge of the nose, and cheekbones. 2. If your skin is dry, apply a thin layer of moisturizer before the base to prevent patchiness and ensure better adherence. 3. You can customize by mixing it with other colored bases (pink, yellow, etc.). 4. Applying it before foundation will make your makeup look more even and radiant.

It worked well for my combination dehydrated skin that tends to get oily. The complexion-evening effect was good, and most importantly, it controls excess oil effectively. The matte finish helps keep makeup in place with less shine coming through, and even when it does wear off, it doesn't break down in a messy way.
ConsYou need to be careful with the amount you apply, and those with dry skin might find it emphasizes dead skin cells.

If you can control the amount well, it really makes your skin look beautiful.
ConsIt's tricky to get the right amount. If you use even slightly too much or too little, it can emphasize dead skin cells or you might feel the foundation pilling.
TipControlling the amount is crucial.

Instead of applying sunscreen separately, I put this on right after my skincare routine and then apply cushion foundation - it goes on so much better! I think this will be a must-have item for summer, especially when used with a setting spray. Plus, the water-based formula means you get quite a lot of product!
ConsIt controls oil so effectively that when using a velvet cushion, you need to blend quickly or you'll end up with cushion-shaped marks. So I have to apply it part by part on each cheek to avoid leaving marks. That's how well it controls oil - a drawback that's not really a drawback. Also, I tend to have some dead skin cells around my mouth, and it definitely accentuates dry areas lacking in oil. I think it might be difficult for those with dry skin to use.
TipIf you apply this, then use a setting spray before putting on cushion or foundation, your base makeup really lasts. Even when you sweat, it breaks down beautifully, giving you a lovely glow as it wears.

Cons✓ I had very oily skin all over my face, so I applied it everywhere (because it worked so well) After about a week of use, when I applied powder over my makeup, it caused extreme flaking of dead skin cells From that point, it felt like it had stripped all the oil from deep within my skin, and for the next 2-3 days, my skin suddenly became super sensitive After this experience, even without using the product, my skin's oil production decreased It wasn't all bad, to be honest (since I had been worried about my extremely oily skin)
Tip✓ Highly recommended for oily and extremely oily skin types! ✓ If you apply powder when oil resurfaces after some time, it really exaggerates the appearance of dead skin cells... If you want to control oil midday, use blotting papers instead ✓ If you have a chance to visit Japan, buy it there as it's sold for almost half the price

I don't usually have issues with redness, pores, deep dryness, blemishes or dark spots. I bought this product hoping it would banish the oil from my T-zone. Based on the reviews, I thought I might finally have an oil-free, matte summer this year. But as always, when you have high expectations, reality tends to shatter them. (The photo shows my cheek 3 hours after makeup application) I applied in this order: toner-ampoule-cream-sunscreen-makeup base-cushion. [Green Tomato toner-SNature ampoule-SNature cream-Dear Klairs sunscreen-Cezanne base-Jung Saem Mool cushion] The texture is similar to Missha Waterproof Sun Milk, but a bit thinner and less sticky. It spreads easily without any issues, and doesn't leave a strong white cast. It didn't emphasize pores and gave a slight brightening effect. Honestly, apart from slightly concealing pores, it has almost no coverage. The sebum control, which I was most excited about, was... so-so. It works to some extent, but I wonder why it's so famous for this? It does feel matte, but oil breakthrough was almost the same as usual. So does it at least break down beautifully? Even though I applied it very thinly on my cheeks, it emphasized dead skin cells. Absolutely avoid applying it on the cheeks... I won't say it twice... It clings around the nose, and the makeup doesn't particularly break down prettily.
ConsIf all the reviews were true, it seems this product really varies person to person. Absolutely not recommended for dry skin due to dryness and emphasizing dead skin cells. Sebum control... did I apply too little? But the texture seems like it would definitely make makeup look cakey if applied thickly...
TipI tried applying Laura Mercier Hydrating Primer on one half of my face and Cezanne Primer on the other half. The Laura Mercier side was far superior in terms of makeup longevity and skin appearance. I'd only recommend testing this for people who really struggle with excess oil.
