PRODUCT DETAILS

Dry patches and base makeup don't always play nicely. Dew Boost Makeup Serum gives rough or uneven-looking areas a more hydrated, smoother canvas, helping foundation sit more evenly and reducing the appearance of cakey patches.

Its concentrated, essence-like texture feels lightweight and nonsticky, with a subtle inner glow. Expect a smooth, radiant and dewy finish that brings glass-skin-like luminosity beneath foundation or cushion makeup without a heavy feel.

The formula contains 100,000 ppm, or 10%, birch sap. Its highlighted Skin Booster Complex includes hyaluronic acid forms, multivitamins, hydrolyzed collagen and amino acids, paired to provide concentrated moisture and better-condition skin before makeup.

Rose oil capsules bring a makeup-focused touch, helping refine the look of skin texture and enhance base adhesion. Together, these features offer better makeup grip with fewer cakey-looking patches, making dry-area prep feel like one small step toward a smoother base.
