## How it works

This makeup-prep primer is formulated around Beta-Glucan alongside Betaine, both named on the product's own ingredient panel rather than assumed from the product name. Betaine is a plant-derived amino acid humectant that softens the feel of a formula and supports its moisture-holding actives without adding tackiness. The rest of the formula is built to support those actives rather than compete with them, which is typical of DEAR DAHLIA's wider formulation approach. Used at the bridge step between skincare and makeup, applied after the last skincare step, it is designed to work with the rest of a layered Korean routine rather than as a stand-alone fix.

## How to use

1. Apply a thin, even layer over finished skincare and let it set for a minute before makeup, focusing on areas where pores or texture usually show through foundation.

## FAQ

### What does the DEAR DAHLIA primer texture feel like on skin?

It applies as a silky texture that settles in within a minute or two rather than sitting on the surface. Because it is the Korean-market formula rather than a US-shelf reformulation, the finish matches what the same product feels like on shelf in Korea, not a version adjusted for a different market's regulations.

### Where does this makeup-prep primer fit in a Korean skincare routine?

It sits at the bridge step between skincare and makeup, applied after the last skincare step. Korean routines are built as layers rather than a single all-in-one step, so using it out of order, for example before a lighter product that needs to absorb first, is the most common reason a product underperforms its expectations.

### Is this the authentic Korean-market version, and how is it different from what US retailers sell?

Yes: DEAR DAHLIA formulates this line for the Korean market first, and this is that exact formula shipped from Korean-market stock rather than a separately registered US version. Some Korean brands sell a reformulated line through US retailers with different actives or filter systems to clear US regulations, and this is not that product.

### Who should reach for this makeup-prep primer first?

Anyone already using DEAR DAHLIA's other products will notice the same formulation logic here, and it is a reasonable first pick for someone building out a Korean routine around this step for the first time. Skin that reacts to heavy fragrance loads should still read the full ingredient panel on the product page before committing to daily use.

### How should this be stored and how long does it last once opened?

Keep it out of direct sun and away from bathroom heat and humidity, the way any Korean-formulated skincare should be stored, and use a clean hand or spatula rather than repeatedly dipping wet fingers into the container. A sealed, unopened unit keeps for the shelf life printed on its own Korean-market batch code, which is intact on every unit we ship.
