SK-II

Genoptics CC Primer

SUMMARY OF REVIEWS

SK-II Genoptics CC Primer is a high-coverage, pigmented formula that acts like a daily foundation with a naturally dewy finish. It includes SPF 50 PA++ and the brand's pitera ingredient, but Beauty Within notes you'd need to apply a lot for full SPF protection, so layering with sunscreen underneath is recommended. The texture is thick but not suffocating, and a light powder over the T-zone is enough to set it.
