FAQs

What exactly is a 'Face Base' and how is it different from a regular moisturizer?

A Face Base, like this one, is designed to serve a dual purpose: it deeply moisturizes your skin while also acting as a primer. While a regular moisturizer focuses solely on hydration, a face base specifically preps your skin to create a smooth, even, and long-lasting canvas for makeup application, helping it to adhere better and look flawless.

Can I use the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base if I have oily skin?

Yes, you can. While it provides rich hydration, its non-greasy formula can still benefit oily skin by balancing moisture without adding excess oil. We recommend using a smaller amount, focusing on areas that may need hydration or priming, and allowing ample time for it to absorb before applying makeup. Some users with very oily skin may prefer to use it only in drier areas or during colder months.

Does this product contain SPF?

No, the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base does not contain SPF. It is designed purely for hydration and makeup priming. We recommend applying a separate sunscreen product after the Face Base and before your foundation for adequate sun protection.

How much product should I use per application?

A small, pea-sized amount is usually sufficient for the entire face. Its concentrated formula means a little goes a long way. Adjust the quantity based on your skin's needs and how much coverage you desire, but always start small and add more if needed.

Can I wear this product on its own, without makeup?

Absolutely! The Vitamin Enriched Face Base is excellent even without makeup. It provides immediate hydration, nourishment, and leaves your skin feeling smooth and looking radiant. It can be a great addition to your morning skincare routine for a healthy glow.

Will this primer clog my pores or cause breakouts?

The formula is designed to be non-comedogenic, meaning it's formulated not to clog pores. However, individual skin reactions can vary. If you are prone to breakouts, ensure you cleanse your skin thoroughly both before and after use, and use the recommended small amount.

How long does a 100ml jar typically last?

With daily use of a pea-sized amount, a 100ml jar can typically last several months, often 6-9 months or even longer, depending on the exact quantity used per application. Always refer to the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol on the product for guidance on its shelf life after opening.

Troubleshooting

Makeup appears to pill or roll off after applying the Face Base.

This often happens if too much product is used, or if it hasn't fully absorbed. Try using a smaller amount and allowing 1-2 minutes for the Face Base to set before applying makeup. Also ensure previous skincare steps have fully absorbed.

My skin feels too oily or heavy after application.

You might be using too much product for your skin type, especially if you have naturally oily skin. Reduce the amount you apply. Alternatively, try applying only to drier areas of your face, or blot lightly with a tissue a minute after application before makeup.

Makeup isn't lasting longer, despite using the primer.

While the Face Base aids longevity, other factors like skin type, foundation formula, and environmental conditions play a role. Ensure your foundation is compatible with a hydrating primer. You might also consider setting your makeup with a light powder or setting spray for additional staying power.

The product's texture seems to have changed or separated.

Check the storage conditions; extreme temperatures or direct sunlight can affect product stability. Ensure the lid is always tightly closed. If it's well past its PAO date, it might be time to replace it. If none of these apply, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Makeup Preparation: Creates an exceptionally smooth and even surface for makeup application, helping foundation glide on effortlessly.
  • Deep Hydration: Provides significant moisture to the skin, making it feel soft, plump, and comfortable throughout the day.
  • Vitamin-Enriched: Infused with vitamins that contribute to healthier-looking skin over time.
  • Multi-Purpose: Functions effectively as both a moisturizer and a primer, streamlining your morning routine.
  • Improved Makeup Wear: Helps to extend the longevity and improve the finish of your makeup, reducing the need for touch-ups.

Cons

  • No SPF Protection: Does not contain any sun protection, requiring a separate SPF product in your routine.
  • May Be Rich for Oily Skin: While hydrating, it might feel too rich or heavy for individuals with extremely oily skin types if over-applied.
  • Specific Scent: Contains a light, pleasant citrus scent that may not appeal to all users, particularly those sensitive to fragrances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is straightforward. There's no complex setup required:

  1. Cleanse: Begin with a freshly cleansed face.
  2. Tone (Optional): Apply your preferred toner if it's part of your routine.
  3. Apply Face Base: Dispense a small amount (approximately a pea-sized dollop) and gently warm it between your fingertips. Apply evenly across your entire face. Use light, upward strokes.
  4. Wait: Allow a moment for the product to fully absorb and settle into the skin before proceeding with makeup application.

Compatibility

  • Skin Types: Generally suitable for all skin types, particularly beneficial for normal to dry skin. For oily skin, use a smaller amount, focusing on drier areas, or allow extra time for absorption.
  • Makeup Products: Compatible with virtually all liquid, cream, and powder foundations, concealers, and other base products. It creates an ideal bond for makeup adhesion.
  • Skincare Regimens: Integrates well into most existing skincare routines. Apply after serums and before SPF (if using a separate one) and foundation.

Care

  • Storage: Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. A bathroom cabinet or vanity drawer is ideal.
  • Lid Security: Always ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent air exposure, which can degrade the product's efficacy and shelf life.
  • Hygiene: Use clean fingers or a spatula to dispense the product to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination.
  • Expiration: While not explicitly stated on the packaging, most cosmetics have a 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol (an open jar icon with a number, e.g., '12M' for 12 months). Adhere to this guideline for best results and product freshness.
