SKINFOOD 1957 Peach Cotton Zinc PCA Essence Serum Primer — Blurring Matte 1.69 fl. oz., Hydrating Oil-Control

SKINFOOD Peach Cotton Zinc PCA Essence Serum Primer is a lightweight, water-based serum–primer hybrid that hydrates, blurs pores and controls oil for a matte, smooth makeup base.

This hybrid product combines skincare and makeup prep: a hydrating essence that dries down to a soft matte finish while delivering calming and sebum-regulating ingredients ideal for oily, combination, and sensitive skin. Formulated with Flat Peach Extract, Zinc PCA, calamine and a calming complex, it creates a breathable, non-silicone canvas so foundation applies evenly without pilling or clogging pores.

How does this primer-serum prepare skin for makeup?

The formula smooths texture and visibly reduces shine so foundation goes on more evenly and lasts longer. It uses moisture-locking powder plus skin-friendly hydrators to attract water, then mattifies the surface to prevent midday oil buildup.

• Blurs pores and fine texture for a softer base
• Controls sebum with Zinc PCA and Anti-Sebum P Complex
• Leaves a breathable, silicone-free surface that resists pilling

Will it hydrate without feeling greasy?

Yes — the Peach Cotton Zinc PCA essence delivers hydration via water-based humectants and a moisture-retaining powder, then dries to a soft matte finish that feels lightweight, not oily. It’s designed to balance oil while supplying moisture to skin that tends to be dehydrated but shiny.

• Hydrates with natural moisturizing factors and peach extract
• Absorbs excess oil for a shine-free look
• Suitable to layer under foundation or wear alone for minimal coverage

Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The product is dermatologist-tested and formulated to be gentle: calming ingredients like Centella Asiatica and CalmGreen help soothe redness while calamine refines skin tone. Because it’s water-based and avoids heavy silicones and pore-clogging oils, it’s a good option for acne-prone or irritation-prone complexions seeking mattifying benefits without harshness.

• Contains calming Centella and CalmGreen complex
• Includes calamine to reduce visible redness and refine tone
• Non-comedogenic approach with lightweight texture

How should I use this with my skincare and makeup routine?

Apply after cleansing and toning as the final skincare step or directly before makeup. Use a pea-sized amount spread across oily areas or the whole face for an even base; it layers well under foundation, tinted moisturizers, or can be worn alone for a natural matte finish.

• Use after moisturizer or instead of a heavy primer for oily skin
• Target T-zone or pore-prone areas for extra blur
• Pair with SKINFOOD Peach P Zinc pads or tone-up creams for a full system
