(Backordered) Sofina Primavista Skin Protect Base <Sebum Prevention> SPF10, 25ml

This is a repeat purchase. Because of my job, I wear a mask all day, but when I combine this base with Perfect Diary powder, my face doesn't get shiny even in the evening.

I feel like the shine has been reduced!

I always thought I had dry skin, but it turns out I have very oily skin. My makeup has stopped coming off so easily. It's great. Pros: My forehead, which is the shiniest, is a bit glossy after half a day (or 2-3 hours if I sweat), and it still gets a little shiny by the evening, but I feel like it's the best it's ever been. It used to be even shinier. Other areas are well-controlled. It spreads easily. I need less than I thought I would. I'm prone to acne, so this non-comedogenic formula is a big help. It's sold at drugstores. For the price, I feel like it's worth it for its effectiveness. Cons: It has a slight sunscreen scent. It gradually fades, but I don't like that smell, so it's a bit of a concern. I guess it's because it's a shaker, like sunscreen, so I guess it's inevitable. It's not harsh, and most importantly, it controls shine, so I like it. How to Use: I apply it to my entire face after sunscreen, applying more to my forehead. I use powder foundation and Primavista EX Matte Powder. If I get shiny, I can remove it with a tissue or apply powder afterwards. It doesn't have much coverage, so if that bothers you, you'll probably need to use other products as well. Since I realized I have oily skin, I've been looking for products to prevent shine, but it's hard to find anything for extremely oily skin. It's also non-comedogenic and available everywhere. I'm so grateful they made it. This is a very personal thing, but I'm not a big fan of Prima's makeup designs, so this simple design was easy to pick up. This is my first time using it. That doesn't mean I want them to change the design of their other products, though. I think that's what makes them Prima, so I think they should keep it the way it is. The foundation seems to have good reviews, so I'd like to try it someday. This product has sparked my interest in their other products.

I can't live without this. I've used up the first bottle and am on my second! There are many similar products, but I trust and rely on this one so much that I don't feel like switching to another. I apply it around my nose, above my eyebrows, and on my chin as the first step in my makeup routine. By the evening, my skin gets a little shiny, but it's still not sticky and easy to touch up. Because I only use a small amount, one bottle lasted me a year and a half.

I bought this to combat oily skin in the T-zone. It has significantly reduced oiliness around my nose, which tends to get oily in the afternoon. It has also significantly improved my makeup breakdown and rough skin caused by excess oil when wearing a mask. Even on days when I'm not wearing makeup, I always apply this to my T-zone before powdering. In the summer, I can use it on my entire face, but in the winter, when my skin gets dry, I only use it on my T-zone.
