Apply after cleansing and follow with your moisturiser or use as an illuminating base for a dewy makeup look. It’s non-comedogenic also, meaning it won’t block pores which can lead to breakouts.

The rich cream is enriched with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and Prai’s own brand technology which works together to reduce the appearance of fine lines and crepiness.
