BasicLab Micellis Toning Emulsion Primer 150 ml

Experience specialised care with BasicLab Micellis – an advanced toning emulsion and primer designed for the most demanding, ultra-sensitive, and reactive skin. Its unique, lightweight formula is the essential first step after cleansing, restoring the skin's physiological pH, intensely hydrating it, and preparing it for subsequent skincare steps. This is the perfect hydrating emulsion for reactive skin, creating a protective film that enhances the absorption of active ingredients from serums or creams.

The product's formula is based on the synergistic action of carefully selected ingredients that actively support the reconstruction of the skin's natural protective barrier. It contains key actives such as Glycosaminoglycans (3%), Serine (2%), and precious Ceramides, which seal the hydrolipidic barrier. As a result, the skin becomes more resilient to external aggressors, while irritation and redness are effectively minimised. It serves as an excellent skin barrier repair toner, ensuring comfort and a healthy appearance.

• Instantly soothes and calms irritation and redness.
• Provides deep, long-lasting hydration without a heavy feel.
• Restores and strengthens the skin's hydrolipidic barrier.
• Perfectly preps the skin for serum, cream, or makeup application.
• Prevents the pilling of subsequently applied cosmetic products.
• Improves skin elasticity and smooths its texture.
• Supports epidermal regeneration, especially after cosmetic procedures.

Are ceramides and squalane good for reactive skin?

Absolutely. Ceramides and squalane are among the most valuable ingredients for reactive and sensitive skin care. Ceramides are a natural component of the skin's intercellular cement, and replenishing them with products like this ceramide emulsion primer directly strengthens the protective barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and protecting against irritants. Squalane, a stable derivative of squalene (a component of human sebum), provides excellent non-comedogenic moisture, softens the skin, and improves elasticity.

Why do my skincare products pill up?

Product pilling can occur for several reasons, including applying subsequent layers too quickly, incompatible formulas (e.g., water-based vs. oil-based), or inadequate skin preparation. This soothing toning primer is engineered to address this issue. It creates a smooth, hydrated canvas that acts as a perfect base for other products, ensuring their even distribution and superior adherence, thereby eliminating the risk of pilling and ensuring your skincare and makeup apply flawlessly.

How to Use

After thoroughly cleansing your face, neck, and décolleté, apply a small amount of the emulsion to your palms or a cotton pad. Gently spread the product over the skin, avoiding the eye area, then pat with your fingertips until fully absorbed. Allow it to settle for a moment before applying your serum or cream to maximise their efficacy.

Who Is This Product For?

• Individuals with ultra-sensitive, reactive, and irritation-prone skin.
• Those with a compromised hydrolipidic barrier and a tendency for redness.
• Users of dermatological treatments (e.g., retinoids) in need of soothing care.
• Anyone struggling with skincare or makeup pilling.
• Skin requiring intense hydration and a perfect primer for makeup.
