Makeup That Stays Put, Not Just in Photos

No more foundation meltdown by lunch. This creates a grippy, matte canvas so your makeup looks freshly applied for hours, not just for the first selfie.

Skip the Blotting Papers

Real users say 'shine is gone.' The oil-absorbing powders work instantly, so you can ditch the mid-day touch-up routine and the constant worry about looking greasy.

Feels Like Nothing Is On

Reviewers love the 'lightweight' and 'not heavy' feel. It protects and primes without the thick, suffocating layer of some sunscreens or primers.

No More White Cast or Pilling

The clear, fast-absorbing formula leaves zero white residue and plays nice with other products. Users confirm 'no pilling' under foundation or alone.

One Product, Two Jobs Done

Saves you a step. It's your high-protection sunscreen and your makeup primer in one, certified for both uses under strict Japanese regulations.

A Smoother Canvas, Instantly

Blurs the look of pores and fine lines as soon as you apply it, giving you a perfected base whether you wear makeup or not.

Timeline Expectations

- **Day 1:** You'll feel an immediate velvety, non-sticky finish. Makeup applies smoothly without pilling.

- **Week 1:** Noticeably less midday shine. Your foundation stays put longer without separating.

- **Week 2-3:** Your skin feels more balanced. You may use fewer blotting papers as oil production appears regulated.

- **Week 4+:** Consistent matte base. The long-term benefit is a smoother canvas that helps minimize the look of pores over time.

Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare research, the Fasio Airy Stay Oil Blocker was created for a modern reality: our skin faces more environmental stress than ever. Kose scientists in Tokyo developed this formula specifically to combat the 'shiny face' caused by heat, humidity, and daily screen time, without the heavy, pore-clogging feel of traditional primers. Every ingredient is selected under Japan's strict Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and the final SPF 50+ PA++++ rating is certified by Japanese government standards—it's not just a claim, it's a regulated guarantee. This dedication to precision has made it a top-ranked base product in Japan for over 5 years, trusted by those who want their makeup to look fresh, not fought-for.

Kose Fasio Airy Stay Oil Blocker SPF 50+ PA++++ 30g Matte Base is formulated with a combination of ingredients designed to provide high sun protection, oil control, and a matte finish. Key ingredients include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are mineral UV filters that offer broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, with zinc oxide specifically contributing to the PA++++ rating for superior UVA defense. Silica and talc are included as oil-absorbing agents to reduce shine and create a smooth, matte texture on the skin. Cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone act as silicone-based emollients, enhancing spreadability and providing a lightweight, non-greasy feel while forming a protective barrier. Alcohol denat. serves as a quick-drying solvent that helps the product set rapidly, minimizing residue. Additional components like butylene glycol and glycerin function as humectants to maintain skin hydration without adding oiliness. This formulation benefits users by delivering robust sun protection with SPF 50+ and PA++++, effectively controlling excess sebum throughout the day, preventing a shiny appearance, and ensuring a comfortable, long-lasting matte base suitable for oily or combination skin types.
