How to use
Be sure to shake well before use. After you hear the clicking sound, shake 5-6 more times. Take an appropriate amount in the palm of your hand and spread it evenly over your entire face or areas where you are concerned about shine. Apply a thin layer around your nose, eyes, and mouth. Be careful not to apply too much, as this may cause the foundation to become uneven. Those who do not like cooling ingredients or have sensitive skin should refrain from using this product. To remove, use a cleanser.

I sweat a lot and it's hard to move on to the next step while I'm putting on makeup, but using this makes it easier to apply foundation faster than before.
I think it's a hidden gem. It fills in pores and evens out the skin, so your foundation will stick much better. It's a versatile primer that dramatically reduces makeup smudging, even in seasons when makeup tends to come off easily, making your mornings easier. It's a primer you can use all year round!
Especially recommended for summer!! Just apply it under your base makeup to control shine and sebum, leaving your skin smooth and silky. It's lightweight and cool to the touch, so I love it. Recommended for summer!!
It's difficult to decide when to apply it... When I apply it after Curel's Smooth Balm, my nose pores open up, but it keeps oiliness down more than usual. My pores were even more open, so I applied it the second time after my lotion, but it didn't have the effect of reducing shine... I like the smell. It makes me feel like I'm eating chocolate mint.
I was working in a harsh environment with 60% humidity and a temperature of 42°C, and I was constantly on the move for six hours. Normally, I only use the Keep Mist from this series to keep my makeup in place, and it's excellent enough on its own. However, I was concerned about makeup smudging and shine around my nose, so this time I decided to add a primer. Since I was going to use it anyway, I chose the "Cool Version." While it felt slightly cool upon application, the effect only lasted for a short time. The texture was a bit rough and a little difficult to spread. I felt like it was sucking all the moisture out of my skin, so I only used it in patches. Still, it's truly impressive that it kept my makeup in place without any shine, even in a 42°C environment. However, it may not be suitable for those with dry skin or for everyday use. Personally, I think the powder and spray from the series are sufficient.
