Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare research, this refill was created for those who want a poreless finish without heavy makeup. Modern life—stress, pollution, and screen time—can make skin look tired and textured. Kose scientists in Tokyo developed this formula to act as a 'filter' for your skin, smoothing pores with a lightweight, breathable layer. Every batch is made in Japan under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality. It's a top-selling foundation refill in Japan, consistently ranked #1 for its 'poreless' finish category because it doesn't just cover, it perfects.

Kose Visee Filter Skin Foundation Refill - SPF 17 PA++ Poreless Finish contains a blend of ingredients designed to provide coverage, sun protection, and a smooth finish. Key components include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act as physical UV filters to offer broad-spectrum SPF 17 and PA++ protection against UVA and UVB rays, helping prevent sun damage and premature aging. Silicone-based compounds like dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane are included to create a lightweight, breathable film that fills in pores and fine lines, delivering a poreless, matte finish while improving spreadability and longevity. Moisturizing agents such as glycerin and butylene glycol help hydrate the skin, maintaining comfort and preventing dryness throughout wear. Pigments like iron oxides provide buildable coverage to even out skin tone and conceal imperfections. Additionally, film-forming polymers enhance adherence and resistance to sweat and sebum, ensuring a long-lasting, flawless appearance. This formulation aims to combine skincare benefits with makeup performance, offering users a refined, natural-looking complexion with added sun protection.
