| Verdict | The slugging staple. Cheaper than Vaseline with ceramides — skin-bonded hydration overnight. | M. Asam's hero product — a skin perfector that blurs pores and fine lines through a combination of optical diffusion (mica + dimethicone crosspolymer) and actual treatment (hydrogenated retinol + palmitoyl tripeptide-1). The genius is the dual function: it works as an instant-gratification primer that makes skin look airbrushed within seconds, AND as a long-term treatment that delivers retinol and peptides while you wear it. The silicone-heavy base creates a soft-focus film that light-scatters across textured skin — pores vanish, fine lines soften, and the overall complexion looks 'finished' without visible makeup. Hydrogenated retinol is a stabilised form that's gentler than pure retinol but still promotes cell turnover. Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 (a GHK-Cu peptide derivative) supports collagen synthesis. German QVC-famous for a reason: this is the product that women buy after seeing the before-and-after demonstrations. At €20, it undercuts every luxury blurring primer while delivering actual skincare actives. |
