After application, it doesn't feel sticky but rather refreshing and lightweight. The hydration is impressive - at first, it felt moisturizing and luminous, as if suitable for a makeup base. But after absorption, the finish has a dewy, supple feel, without leaving the skin feeling dry. Even without using a puff or brush, it applies well and adheres nicely when applied with just the hands.
ConsThis product isn't quite a must-have for me, so I'm a little disappointed. It's the kind of thing that's nice to have if you have it, but not essential.
TipIt seems to be a product that creates a base that doesn't break down all day long. As long as it properly absorbs the rising oil, there's no need for touch-ups.

The bouncy gel essence formula applies lightly and doesn't leave a sticky residue after absorption. It leaves the skin feeling deeply hydrated with a smooth, refreshed texture.
ConsDepending on the texture of your base moisturizer, it can be challenging to apply evenly and achieve good adherence. This may cause subsequent base makeup to slide or pill.
TipNot recommended for use with highly emollient moisturizers.

It finishes with a nice, firm feel and the base definitely absorbs well! I could use it with peace of mind since it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients.
ConsIt seems to pill a bit on dry areas of the skin. You need to pat it in while absorbing to prevent pilling!

Despite its lightweight feel, I was pleasantly surprised by how it smoothed my overall complexion and seemed to minimize the appearance of dead skin cells! ✔️ Scent: It's fragrance-free, making it comfortable for those with scent sensitivities. ✔️ Ingredients: I appreciated that there were no concerning ingredients. Even though I have super sensitive skin and was a bit nervous to try it, I didn't experience any irritation.
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin who doesn't prefer sticky products, I found the light texture nice. However, I wonder if it might feel too lightweight for those with dry skin.
TipPro tip: Apply regular sunscreen before using this base prep, but if you're using a brightening moisturizer with SPF, apply it after!

Suitable texture It has a texture similar to a hydrating serum A lightweight formula without excessive moisture or oiliness I love that it's not sticky 2. Oil and moisture balance I felt it played a role in adjusting the oil and moisture balance appropriately before applying base makeup, helping makeup adhere better Perhaps because of this, I noticed it refined my skin texture 3. Scent There's hardly any fragrance, and it doesn't smell like typical cosmetics, which is comfortable A product that properly balances oil and moisture before makeup application, allowing makeup to adhere well
ConsIt doesn't give your skin a glowy appearance Rather than focusing on outward appearance, this product works to make your skin feel comfortable from within

It seems to be great for smoothing skin texture and hydration too! There's no particular scent, so those sensitive to fragrances can use it without worry. It also has a subtle glow with some shimmer! The formula is incredibly moisturizing like water, and it absorbs instantly! I usually dislike sticky products, but this doesn't feel sticky on my skin at all, which I love! It even has a slight moisturizer feel to it, which is nice! Even though I have sensitive skin, I haven't experienced any blemishes or redness after application! While I haven't seen significant effects on brightening or wrinkle improvement yet since I haven't used it for long, I plan to keep using it consistently! I'd recommend this to anyone whose makeup tends to separate or who wants to improve their makeup's staying power!
ConsIt seems like it'll take quite a while to see results for brightening and wrinkle improvement!

When applied to the skin, it feels incredibly lightweight and absorbs well. Initially, there's a slightly elastic feel, but over time it sinks into the skin without any greasiness or stickiness. Moisturizing and hydrating I loved how my skin didn't feel dry after use and the hydration lasted for a long time. Throughout my makeup routine, I didn't experience any dryness or deep dryness at all. It seems like a great product to use even in dry weather or during winter!
ConsAverage longevity In terms of makeup longevity, it felt somewhat ordinary. Rather than feeling like the makeup lasted longer after using this primer, it tended to break down gradually over time, similar to a typical primer. While it's not completely ineffective in terms of longevity, it didn't provide that truly long-lasting effect I was hoping for.
TipI find that a small amount is sufficient. It's best to apply the primer, allow some time for absorption, and then proceed with your makeup routine!

It's that perfect in-between texture that applies smoothly even when you're in a rush! Hydration: For my combination dehydrated skin, the hydration level was spot on! It seems like a product better suited for summer than winter. Those with dry skin might need to layer it on a bit more. Soothing: When I apply this after cleansing before bed, my skin feels so comfortable and relaxed! Scent: It's almost fragrance-free to my nose. I've seen other reviews mentioning that the scent can be polarizing, but I barely noticed any fragrance at all! If you're not particularly sensitive to scents, you should be fine with this product.
ConsThe only downside for me was that when my base makeup starts to break down, it does so in a messy way with this product underneath. That was a bit disappointing.

Texture: It has an essence-like consistency that doesn't run. Feel: It absorbs well without any stickiness, and it seems to fill in fine lines. Review: True to its name as a makeup base, it definitely makes your skin look beautiful. I'll make sure to apply this every time I do my makeup from now on. In the hand swatch photo, you can see the lower part where I applied the Base Prep. While it might not be very noticeable in the picture, the area where it's applied feels noticeably more hydrated and adheres to the skin perfectly.
ConsThe application feel and effectiveness were so good that I can't think of any downsides.

It absorbs quickly into the skin. Texture: It's like a hydrating ampoule. It absorbs instantly upon application without any stickiness or rich feeling. If you look closely, you can see very fine, subtle shimmer particles! User experience (considering my extremely dry skin type): This is my first time using a hydrating base prep, so it's hard to compare with other products. However, I think those with combination dehydrated skin or combination skin types will be satisfied! When first applied, the product absorbs quickly. Rather than giving a glow, it feels like applying a layer of simple hydrating ampoule without any stickiness. As a hydrating base, it forms a nice moisture barrier when first applied, which feels great. However, as someone with dry skin, I found the lasting hydration a bit lacking.
ConsFor my extremely dry skin in my 30s, when I used this alone, it didn't prevent skin from feeling tight or dry as time passed. If you have dry skin, I'd recommend this more for summer than winter. If you do use it, I suggest applying it after thoroughly layering your skincare routine.
TipTake your time to apply and absorb multiple thin layers before applying foundation! As it's a hydrating base prep, there's no pilling or heavy feeling, so you can comfortably layer it multiple times in your skincare routine without any burden.
