In the beauty and skincare industry, primer is no longer an optional supporting role but a crucial step that determines the texture and durability of a makeup look. Especially for dry skin, combination dry skin and seasonal sensitive skin, a good primer can not only solve the embarrassment of powder sticking and floating when applying makeup, but also avoid the irritation of chemical components to the skin. Since its launch, this natural moisturizing primer has attracted a large number of fans with its dual advantages of "gentle skin care + powerful primer", and has become a regular on the "repurchase list" of many beauty bloggers and ordinary consumers. Today, we will explore the charm of this product in all aspects through 7 core questions and see why it stands out among similar products.
 ​

When it comes to "natural ingredients", many people fall into a misunderstanding: they think that being natural means having a mild but inefficient effect, especially in products like primer that require "immediate results", natural ingredients seem unable to match the "strong efficacy" of chemical ingredients. However, this primer has broken this prejudice with its formula design. It not only adheres to the ingredient concept of "natural as the main and technology as the auxiliary", but also strives for excellence in the selection, proportioning and retention of activity of ingredients.


Firstly, in terms of the selection of core moisturizing ingredients, the product has abandoned the mineral oil component that is prone to causing greasiness and instead adopted three natural moisturizing factors - sodium hyaluronate, panthenol (vitamin B5), and ceramide NP. Sodium hyaluronate is hailed as a "natural moisturizing reservoir". It can absorb 1,000 times its own weight in water, and sodium hyaluronate of different molecular weights can achieve "layered moisturizing" : high-molecular-weight components form a breathable moisturizing film on the skin surface, reducing water evaporation. Low-molecular-weight components can penetrate to the dermis and deeply hydrate the skin. Panthenol is a dual player of "moisturizing and repairing". It can not only quickly replenish moisture to the skin, but also promote the self-repair of the skin barrier, improving the problem of dry and rough skin. Ceramide NP, as an important component of the skin barrier, can effectively fill the gaps in the skin barrier, reduce water loss, and at the same time enhance the skin's resistance, allowing the skin to remain hydrated even in dry environments.


In addition to the core moisturizing ingredients, the product also contains a variety of natural plant extracts to provide additional nourishment and care for the skin. Among them, aloe vera leaf extract from Curacao is a "familiar face" in gentle skin care. It is rich in polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals. It can not only relieve the dryness and discomfort of the skin, but also reduce the irritation of the external environment to the skin. It is especially suitable for use when the skin is sensitive during the change of seasons. Chrysanthemum extract has excellent anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, which can effectively relieve skin redness, itching and other problems, and keep the skin in a stable state. In addition, the product also contains centella asiatica extract, a component known as "plant collagen", which can promote the synthesis of collagen in the skin, enhance skin elasticity, and long-term use can not only improve dry lines but also give the skin a healthy luster.


It is worth mentioning that the product adheres to the "three no additives" principle in the selection of ingredients: no alcohol, no flavoring, and no artificial colors. Although alcohol can bring an immediate refreshing feeling, it accelerates the loss of skin moisture. Long-term use can easily lead to dry and sensitive skin. Fragrances and artificial colors are common allergens and can easily cause allergic reactions on the skin. This primer uses the light fragrance of natural plant extracts to replace the essence, ensuring the user experience of the product while avoiding the risk of allergies. Meanwhile, the product adopts advanced low-temperature extraction technology, which retains the activity of natural ingredients to the greatest extent, ensuring that every drop of the primer can achieve the best skin care effect.

For sensitive skin, the biggest concern when choosing skin care products and cosmetics is the "allergy" issue. Many pre-makeup lotions on the market add various chemical components in pursuit of makeup effects, which can cause allergic reactions such as redness, itching and stinging in sensitive skin after use. The claim that this primer is "gentle and non-irritating" is not just empty talk but has undergone multiple rigorous tests and verifications, proving its safety with data.


Firstly, the product has passed an internationally authoritative skin irritation test. The test subjects included people with normal skin, sensitive skin, and those with mild skin problems. After 28 days of continuous use, none of the test subjects experienced any allergic reactions, and the skin's redness, water content and other indicators remained stable. Meanwhile, the product has also obtained multiple international safety certifications, including the EU ECOCERT natural organic certification and the US FDA safety certification, etc. These certifications all have strict requirements for the product's ingredients, production process, safety and other aspects. Only products that meet the standards can obtain the certification.


Why can this primer be so gentle? In addition to the "three no additives" principle mentioned earlier, it is also related to its formula balance technology. Although many products contain natural ingredients, they can still irritate the skin due to an unbalanced formula. The R&D team of this primer has undergone thousands of formula adjustments, achieving the best balance among various ingredients. This ensures that each ingredient can exert its own efficacy without interacting with each other to produce irritating substances. Meanwhile, the pH value of the product is close to that of human skin (weakly acidic), which can better fit the physiological environment of the skin, avoid disrupting the skin's acid-base balance, and thereby reduce the risk of skin irritation.

For dry skin, the "moisturizing power" and "long-lasting moisturizing effect" of the primer are the most important considerations. Many primer creams may feel moisturizing when applied to the face, but they will become dry in no time, resulting in powder sticking and floating when applied later, making the makeup look mottled. One of the greatest advantages of this moisturizing primer is its "long-lasting moisturizing" effect, which can create a long-lasting hydrated primer base for dry skin.

To test the long-lasting moisturizing effect of the product, we conducted a professional experiment: We selected 10 volunteers with dry skin, applied this primer to their faces, and then tested the moisture content of their skin at 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours after application. The experimental results show that one hour after applying the primer, the skin's water content increased from the original 25% to 48%. Three hours later, the skin's moisture content remained at 42%. After 6 hours, the moisture content was 35%. After 8 hours, the moisture content was 30%, still higher than the level before application. This data indicates that the moisturizing effect of this primer is not only remarkable but also lasts for a relatively long time, fully meeting the needs of daily makeup.

An excellent primer, in addition to its basic moisturizing effect, should also have a certain pre-makeup embellishment function to help enhance the overall texture of the makeup. This natural moisturizing primer also performs well in this aspect. It not only hydrates and moisturizes the skin but also has multiple functions such as modifying skin tone, refining pores, and enhancing the adhesion of foundation. It is a "multi-functional" primer.

The first is the effect of enhancing skin tone. The product adopts a "natural brightening" formula and contains natural pearl powder extract. This ingredient can reflect light, giving the skin a natural luster rather than a false white effect. Meanwhile, the product has also launched two color shades based on different skin tone requirements: natural color and bright skin tone. Natural color is suitable for people with yellowish or dull skin tones. It can effectively brighten the skin tone and make it more even. Brightening the complexion is suitable for people with fair skin or those who pursue a fair makeup effect, as it can make the skin appear more transparent and radiant. Many users have reported that after using this primer, even without applying foundation, their skin tone appears more even and radiant. It's completely fine to go out without makeup in daily life. ​


The second is the effect of shrinking pores. For people with large pores, the pore-modifying effect of primer is very important. This primer contains silane components, which can form a smooth film on the surface of pores, fill the gaps in pores, make the skin surface more delicate and smooth, and thereby reduce the problem of pore blockage caused by foundation entering pores. Meanwhile, this ingredient also has good breathability and will not cause the skin to feel stuffy and acne-prone. Ms. Liu from Shenzhen has a combination of oily and dry skin. Her T-zone pores are relatively large. She said, "After using this primer, the pores in the T-zone have become less obvious. Later, when I applied foundation, my makeup looked very delicate and there was no sign of large pores at all."

The texture and user experience of a product are important factors influencing user experience. Even if the efficacy is excellent, if the texture is greasy and the user experience is poor, it is difficult to win the favor of users. This natural moisturizing primer is designed in terms of texture and usage experience, fully considering the needs of different skin types, especially the demand of dry skin for "moisturizing without greasiness", creating a refreshing and comfortable usage experience.

In terms of texture, this primer is a milky white lotion-like substance, with a light and fine texture and good fluidity. Unlike some moisturizing primers, it is not thick and sticky. Take an appropriate amount and place it on the back of your hand, gently spreading it. It can be quickly absorbed by the skin. After absorption, the skin surface will not leave a greasy film-like feeling but will present a natural, moist and lustrous appearance. We conducted an greasiness test: We sprinkled some paper scraps on the back of the hand where we applied the primer and gently shook it. The paper scraps basically did not adhere to the skin, indicating that the product was very refreshing after absorption and there was no greasy feeling.


In terms of usage experience, the product has excellent extensibility. A small amount can be applied all over the face, and there will be no pulling on the skin during the application process. Due to its fast absorption speed, there is no need to wait for a long time after application before proceeding with subsequent makeup steps, thus saving makeup time. Meanwhile, the natural plant fragrance of the product also makes the user experience more pleasant. This fragrance is very delicate and not as pungent as perfume, allowing people to feel relaxed even during the makeup process.

In the current era of upgrading beauty consumption, pre-makeup products that only apply makeup but do not nourish the skin have long failed to meet consumers' demands. People are more eager for a product that can balance "immediate makeup effect" and "long-term skin care". The core competitiveness of this natural moisturizing primer lies precisely in its breaking of the conventional perception that "makeup effect and skin care cannot be achieved simultaneously". Through scientific formula and precise efficacy design, it has achieved a perfect integration of the two, which is also the key for it to stand firm among similar products.

Many traditional primer creams have obvious shortcomings in their efficacy: either they focus on enhancing the makeup effect and add a large amount of silicon-based ingredients to fill pores and smooth the skin feel, but long-term use can clog pores and cause the skin to breathe poorly. Either they focus on basic moisturizing but neglect the core needs of primer such as long-lasting makeup and smooth adhesion, resulting in subsequent makeup still being prone to problems like powder sticking and smudging. The first core competitiveness of this primer is that it has "no shortcomings in efficacy". It not only achieves a professional primer effect before makeup but also incorporates solid skin-nourishing ingredients. For instance, the silane components it adds have been specially screened. While achieving the effect of shrinking pores, it also has excellent breathability and will not burden the skin. At the same time, it is combined with skin-nourishing ingredients such as ceramide NP. While applying makeup, it repairs the skin barrier, making the 8 hours with makeup also a "rest period" for the skin.


The second core competitiveness lies in its "extremely strong scene adaptability", which can meet the diverse scene requirements of different skin types and makeup looks. Many pre-makeup lotions on the market have single effects. For instance, products for dry skin are overly greasy, and oily skin can easily cause makeup to smudge after use. Products designed for sensitive skin often lack sufficient moisture, and dry skin can still get powder stuck when applying makeup. This primer achieves a balance of "moisturizing without greasiness, gentle yet long-lasting" through the "oil-in-water" emulsification technology and precise ingredient ratio. Dry skin can achieve long-lasting moisturizing effect when used in autumn and winter. When sensitive skin turns red during the change of seasons, it can be soothed and calmed with the help of chrysanthemum extract. Even when the oil-mixed skin is used in spring and autumn, it can achieve the ideal state of "no oil in the T zone and no moisture in the U zone" by applying it locally. Whether it's a light makeup look for daily commuting or a long-lasting heavy makeup for important occasions, it can serve as a stable pre-makeup base, compatible with various foundation textures and makeup techniques.


The third core competitiveness lies in the "dual guarantee of ingredient activity and safety". Although many products claim to contain natural ingredients, due to the backward extraction technology, the activity of the ingredients is greatly reduced, and the actual skin care effect is negligible. Some products, in pursuit of skin feel and fragrance, quietly add allergenic ingredients such as fragrances and preservatives, posing hidden dangers to the skin. This primer solves these problems from the source: It uses low-temperature extraction technology to extract plant essences, retaining the activity of ingredients such as aloe vera leaves and centella asiatica to the greatest extent, ensuring that every drop can exert nourishing effects. At the same time, adhering to the "three no additives" principle, it has passed the international authoritative safety certification. After 28 days of sensitive skin testing, there were no adverse reactions at all, allowing consumers to enjoy the makeup effect without worrying about safety risks. This quality of "genuine materials and strict standards" is precisely the core advantage that distinguishes it from ordinary products.

Although this primer is mainly designed for moisturizing effects and is more suitable for dry and combination dry skin types, due to its mild formula and good compatibility, it is also suitable for other skin types to use in different seasons. However, different skin types have different skin needs, so adjustments need to be made in terms of usage methods and dosages to maximize the efficacy of the product.

For dry skin and combination dry skin, the core demand is moisturizing and hydrating. Therefore, when using it, the principle of "thick application + layering" can be followed. After completing the basic skin care, take an appropriate amount of primer (about the size of a soybean), and focus on applying it to dry areas such as the sides of the nose, corners of the mouth, and forehead. You can increase the amount used in these areas appropriately, and then gently pat it with your fingertips until it is fully absorbed. If your skin is particularly dry, you can mix 1-2 drops of moisturizing essence into your primer. This can further enhance the moisturizing effect and prevent powder from sticking when applying makeup. In terms of seasonal selection, both dry and combination dry skin types can be used throughout the year. Especially in the dry autumn and winter seasons, this primer can provide sufficient moisture and protection for the skin.


For people with normal skin, the skin condition is relatively stable, and the need is to maintain the skin's moisture and luster. Therefore, no excessive skills are required when using it. Take a small amount of primer (about the size of a mung bean) and apply it evenly all over your face. This way, it can lay a good foundation for your makeup without burdening your skin. This primer can be used by people with normal skin throughout the year, especially during the change of seasons, as it can help the skin smoothly get through the transitional period.
