- An advanced toning primer that deeply hydrates and primes the skin for active ingredients. It significantly reduces dryness, flaking, and the risk of product pilling.
The challenge of dry, flaking skin and pilling cosmetics requires a sophisticated solution. The BasicLab Micellis Toning Primer is a professional, hybrid formula that combines the action of an active toner with a preparatory base for subsequent skincare. It is engineered to maximize the absorption of active ingredients while creating a perfectly smooth and hydrated canvas.
- Intense Hydration and Regeneration: Formulated with 3% glycosaminoglycans and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, it penetrates deeply to restore optimal moisture levels and elasticity.
- The Perfect Base for Skincare and SPF: It smooths the skin, facilitating the application of subsequent products and minimizing the risk of pilling, which is crucial for reapplying sunscreen.
- Radiant and Even Complexion: Featuring a 2% snow lotus stem cell complex, this advanced formula supports epidermal renewal, brightens the complexion, and imparts a healthy, luminous glow.
- Strengthened Hydrolipidic Barrier: NMF amino acids, urea, and lactic acid limit transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and soothe irritation, reinforcing the skin's natural protective barrier.
How do I prep my sensitive skin for makeup?
Properly prepping sensitive skin is the foundation of flawless, long-lasting makeup. The BasicLab Toning Primer acts as both a soothing compress and a smoothing base. Applying it before your serum or cream creates a hydrating, occlusive layer that calms irritation and diminishes dry patches. This ensures that foundation and other colour cosmetics glide on evenly, without accentuating texture or causing tightness throughout the day. It's the ideal hydrating primer for dry skin, ensuring comfort for hours on end.
How do I prevent my sunscreen from pilling?
Sunscreen pilling is a common issue, often caused by formula incompatibility or inadequately prepped skin. The solution lies in creating the right base. The BasicLab Toning Primer, with its lightweight, watery texture, absorbs instantly to create a smooth, 'grippy' surface. This facilitates the even distribution of your SPF and allows subsequent layers to meld seamlessly. It also excels as a skincare primer for reapplying sunscreen—a quick mist refreshes the skin and prepares it for another layer of SPF without disturbing existing makeup.
