I used a sample that came with a magazine. Reviews are mixed, but I liked it. Since Minon specializes in dry and sensitive skin, I imagined a moisturizing primer, but the texture was hard, thick, and heavy, making it difficult to apply. My first impression was, "Wow, it's going to dry out my skin, it's going to clog my pores..." However, after using it for a day, it didn't dry out my skin at all; instead, it blended with my sebum, keeping my skin looking beautiful! Since it's supposed to tone up my skin, I was worried it would look white, but it's a strong yellowish beige, and it has better coverage than other primers, so on days when I just want a quick look, I don't even need foundation. The color is perfect for me, who has a warm undertone! I was amazed at the price! It's such a great value that I want to buy the actual product. I think this is an item that some people will like and others won't, so I recommend trying a sample before purchasing.
I used the version before the renewal, but this one feels lighter than the previous one. The beige color is stronger. The previous one looked white and cast on me, but with the increased coverage, I can now use it on its own. It's not a downgrade, and the renewal was in line with my preferences, but I can understand why some people prefer the freshness of the previous version. It doesn't seem to be harsh on the skin, so I'd like to use it as a replacement for a light foundation when my skin is sensitive.

I ran out of primer while visiting my hometown and had good reviews on Amazon, so I quickly bought this. It was better than I expected! The color looks quite dark, but it spreads quite well and tones up my skin. It also has a good amount of coverage. I'm a warm autumn skin tone, and I used to use a Crede primer and powder on my days off, but as I've gotten older, it's started to look too white... This primer is just right for me. I think I'll be able to get by on my days off with this and the KOSDECO powder. However, I found that Elixir was better in terms of compatibility with various foundations.
It's great when you're wearing light makeup or when your skin is in good condition, but if your skin is a little dull it might not be enough. If your skin is dry it doesn't stick well and doesn't have enough brightness, so it's best to use it only when your skin is in good condition!
