Buying a product that can help control oil secretion, better maintain the integrity of the base makeup, and have a refreshing and non-greasy finish is essential, and among the various makeup primers, SOFINA oil control primer can be said to be a star product with a good reputation.
 
The Sofina brand from Kao is a popular star in Japan, and its Yingmei Huancai Oil Control Sunscreen Primer is also the same style as the well-known Japanese female artist Satomi Ishihara, which won the 2018 Japan COSME Award. Sofina Radiant Oil Control Sunscreen Primer is available in two versions, the Taiwan version is cost-effective, cheap, and touch-up, and the bottle is printed with the Ange logo. The Japanese version focuses on strong functions, oil control, clear skin feel, and easy to buy, so it has the most fans. In 2018, Sofina launched a new Japanese version of the rose gold bottle cap, which mainly upgraded the oil control effect, and added an adsorption powder on the basis of the curing powder added to the old Japanese version, which can improve the skin's oiliness and makeup removal.
 
In terms of use, there is not much difference between the old and new Japanese versions, both of which have a strong fluidity emulsion texture, and the upper face is refreshing and burden-free. This primer will form an oil-controlling film on the surface of the skin, with waterproof and sweatproof effects, and it needs to be removed and cleaned, with a reference price of 179 yuan to 189 yuan for 25ml, and the price difference between the old and new Japanese versions is only 10 yuan.
 
The oil-controlling ingredients in the formula of the oil-controlling primer have a good oil-controlling effect, are friendly to oily skin, and can be used as a topical oil-control effect for combination skin. This primer has a certain brightening effect, and the performance of countering the dullness of base makeup is very outstanding, but the concealer and color correction functions are not involved. The added chemical sunscreen OMC, as well as a small amount of physical sunscreen zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, have a slight sunscreen effect, but because it is difficult to apply enough amount, do not expect too much from the sunscreen effect.
 
Relatively speaking, the difference between the Japanese version and the Taiwan version is slightly larger, and the pink color of the Taiwan version is different from the heavy pink tone, the Japanese version is clearer, natural, closer to the touch of emulsion, lubricating and delicate, and no powder. However, due to the addition of a lot of zinc oxide as a sunscreen, the powder is slightly heavier, similar to the feeling of sunscreen film-forming, and the powder will be stuck in the skin texture if the amount is too much. Overall, the desktop version is suitable for users with a small budget, while the Japanese version is suitable for users who are looking for a stronger oil control and long-lasting effect, and pay attention to ingredients.
