I have been testing a few skincare items over the past couple of weeks & I thought I would share with you one of my favourites so far. It is by the brand M. Asam, which is a German cosmetic company founded in 1963, I had never heard of this brand before and being a skincare addict I like testing out new products, but I’m always slightly worried that I will upset my routine or that something will break me out. Thankfully, this product has been no trouble for my skin, so that’s a massive plus.
This M. Asam Perfect Teint II* is a product for reducing the appearance of fine lines, controlling oil and giving you a skin a smooth base for applying your makeup. The first thing that struck me about this product is its constancy, it feels so light and fluffy, almost like a mousse. It takes a little getting used to how much to apply, but I learnt that less is more, it is easy to smooth over the skin and dries down to quite a matte finish. It feels very light on my skin and once it had been on my skin for a couple of minutes It felt very soft and hydrating.
You apply this after your moisturiser, but I would say that if you use quite a hydrating serum you could get away with using this instead of a moisturiser, especially if you don’t like to layer your products that much. This leaves my skin velvety smooth and my foundation glides on over the top and helps give me a flawless finish. I have been reaching for this most days during this crazy heat wave we have been having as it helps keep my foundation from slipping off my face and also controls my oily T Zone. I would say this is essentially a smoothing primer & a damn good one at that.
I have to say I was a little sceptical at first as I had never heard of this brand, but after using this Perfect Teint II I’m intrigued to try more. This product is an oily girl’s best friend & it does a pretty good job of smoothing the fine lines, some of my wrinkles are just too big for this to smooth, but I think that’s to be expected, it still makes my skin look even, natural and my foundation looked so good over the top. This cream doesn’t really have a scent, my husband thinks it slightly floral, but I can’t make a scent out, either way, it’s not overpowering.
The packaging feels luxurious, and the product is in a nice frosted glass jar with a bright green lid.
Let me know if you have tried anything from this brand before & if you have any product recommendations.
