It contains SPF and PA, and I love it because it tones up my skin just enough to make it look beautiful.
Since it's called a spot foundation, I imagined it would be smaller, but I was surprised to find it was the size of a regular primer. The texture is quite thick and doesn't spread very well. It adheres quite well. This makes it difficult to apply over a wide area, and it tends to end up being too thick. As the name suggests, I found it easy to use in specific areas. While I didn't notice any creasing, some people may find the thick texture drying. The color is a whitish green, similar to the green of Kanebo's control color. Therefore, if you overdo it, it can look white and castish. I don't have the Kanebo on hand right now, so I'm comparing it with the Elegance Modeling Color Base. ★PS★ I was having trouble with the dark, reddish color of the foundation I recently purchased, but I found that by mixing a little of this, I could perfectly match the color of my neck. It was a lighter liquid foundation, but when combined with this primer, it actually adhered better and was easier to use.
I have desert skin, which tends to dry out and break down especially badly in the winter...I wanted to protect my skin from UV rays in the winter, so I bought a primer that had received rave reviews. It had a firm texture and was heavy, but I didn't feel like it spread particularly well. Sunscreens with high SP values tend to not spread well even when my skin is well moisturized at this time of year, so this was a good product to use. However, I feel like people with desert skin like mine might want to apply a moisturizing pack first. I've only used it about three times so far, but so far it's worked well with my existing foundation, and I haven't had any of the issues I was worried about...If it feels good to use, even as we enter the depths of winter, I plan to keep it as my go-to product.
I have the green one too and love how moisturizing it is and how opaque it is, so I bought the pink one too!
