Gently smooth and press the primer onto your skin, focusing on areas that get dry or where makeup tends to fade. 4. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to set into a smooth, non-sticky base before applying foundation or going bare-faced. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Skin feels instantly smoother and more hydrated. Makeup applies more evenly. Week 2-3: With consistent use, your skin's baseline hydration improves. You may notice a more consistent 'glow from within' even on no-makeup days.

Kosé was founded in 1946 in Tokyo, Japan, with a simple philosophy: to create skincare that works with your skin, not against it. The Esprique Triple Moisture Primer was developed in response to modern life—where air conditioning, screen time, and stress can leave skin feeling tight and dull. Our researchers in Japan focused on three specific types of moisture to create a multi-defense base. Every batch is made in a GMP-certified facility, adhering to Japan's strict pharmaceutical-grade standards for cosmetics. It's a top-ranked primer in its category for creating a hydrated, glowing canvas that lasts.

The Kose Esprique Triple Moisture Primer SPF 20 PA++ - Hydrating Glow Base is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to provide multiple skincare benefits while creating a smooth, radiant base for makeup. It contains water and glycerin as primary hydrating agents, which help to moisturize the skin and improve its barrier function, ensuring long-lasting hydration and preventing dryness. The inclusion of dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane offers a silky, non-greasy texture that fills in fine lines and pores, creating a flawless canvas for makeup application while providing a smooth, matte finish. Additionally, the primer features titanium dioxide as a physical sunscreen agent, providing broad-spectrum UV protection with SPF 20 and PA++ ratings to shield the skin from sun damage and prevent premature aging. Botanical extracts such as chamomile and aloe vera are included for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm irritated skin and reduce redness. The product also contains light-reflecting particles like mica and silica, which impart a subtle glow and luminosity to the skin, enhancing its natural radiance. Overall, these ingredients work synergistically to hydrate, protect, and perfect the skin, making it an ideal primer for achieving a hydrated, glowing complexion with added sun protection.
