A'pieu Start Up Pore Primer 30ml

What it is

A'pieu Start Up Pore Primer 30ml is a silicone-based makeup primer designed to create a silky, smoother-looking base before foundation or BB cream. Its soft-focus finish helps blur the visible appearance of pores and uneven texture.

Why you'll like it

• Helps smooth the look of pores and skin texture before makeup.
• Creates a soft, silky base; the brand positions it for oily and combination skin and describes a matte finish.
• Contains niacinamide, Camellia Sinensis (green tea) leaf extract and Tremella Fuciformis (mushroom) extract.

Texture and finish

The primer has a silky, silicone-rich texture. Apply a thin layer: the brand advises using a small amount, since too much product may pill. The manufacturer describes the finish as matte; the result can vary with skin care and makeup layered underneath.

Key ingredients

Niacinamide, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract, and aromatic plant oils including tea tree, peppermint, rosemary and bergamot appear in the current U.S. manufacturer ingredient list. This formula contains fragrance and alcohol; it is not fragrance-free.

Who it's for

The manufacturer describes this primer for oily or combination skin. If you avoid fragrance or essential oils, review the full ingredient list before use; individual sensitivities vary.

How to use

1. After skin care has absorbed, dispense a small amount—about the size of a grain of rice.
2. Apply a thin layer along the skin's texture, focusing on areas where pores or unevenness are visible.
3. Let the primer settle, then apply foundation, BB cream or other base makeup. Add product gradually to help reduce pilling.
