The Silk Canvas does a bit more than your average primer. Yes it preps your skin before makeup but it also nourishes while it does it which is not something you get from every product in this category.

The formula uses silk extracts and powder to soften the look of pores and fine lines so your base goes on more smoothly and sits more evenly throughout the day. It works across the face, eyes and lips which keeps things simple if you prefer a minimal routine before makeup.

The Hadasei-3 complex, a blend of green tea, rice and algae, brings some genuine skincare benefit into the mix. It helps support the skin barrier and adds a layer of protection against environmental exposure while you wear it. The pink and gold pearl gives the skin a healthy warmth rather than a flat or matte finish.

It is non comedogenic so it will not block pores and it is cruelty free. The 20g size is a good way to try it before committing to a full size, though it goes a long way with light application.

If your makeup tends to settle into pores or fade unevenly through the day this is the kind of product that can make a noticeable difference to how your base performs.
