Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEApply after your skincare routine and moisturizer have fully absorbed. Use as the final step before makeup application. Can also be worn alone for a natural, radiant "no-makeup" look.
How to use
HOW TO USEPrep Your Skin
Start with clean, moisturized skin. Allow your skincare and moisturizer to fully absorb for 1-2 minutes before priming.
Dispense Product
Lift off the lid (do not twist). Gently squeeze the tube so a small amount of primer comes out onto the built-in roller applicator.
Roll & Sculpt
Apply lifting upwards and outwards, following along the jawline and cheekbones with slight pressure. The roller helps depuff and add definition while distributing product evenly.
Let It Set
Allow 30-60 seconds for the formula to absorb and become slightly tacky. This tackiness is what helps grip your makeup in place for up to 8 hours.
Apply Makeup & Clean Roller
Layer foundation, concealer, or other makeup on top. For hygiene, wipe the roller after every use. For a deeper clean, unscrew the roller and rinse under warm water.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESIdeal match. The lightweight serum-gel adds a beautiful luminosity and hydration boost without feeling too heavy or too light. Creates the perfect radiant base.
The glycerin-rich, hydrating formula helps combat dry patches and prevents foundation from clinging to flaky areas. Leaves a dewy, plumped-up finish that dry skin types love.
The dewy, radiant finish may add unwanted shine on already oily skin. No oil-control properties. Consider the REFY Blur and Hydrate Primer instead if shine is a concern.
Works well on dry cheeks and normal areas. Apply sparingly on the T-zone to prevent excess shine. Can be paired with a mattifying powder on oily zones.
Fragrance-free and dermatologically tested with soothing Panthenol and licorice root. Contains fermented ingredients that may trigger sensitivity in rare cases. Patch test first.
Non-comedogenic (1/5) and silicone-free. Niacinamide helps control blemishes. However, not fungal acne safe due to oils and ferments. Suitable for bacterial acne-prone skin.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. The REFY Glow and Sculpt Face Primer does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, oxybenzone, or any other ingredients commonly flagged as unsafe during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The formula is fragrance-free and dermatologically tested. However, as with any skincare product, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before introducing new products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
No, this primer is not considered fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that may feed Malassezia yeast, including Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil (fatty acids), Yeast Ferment Extract, Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment, and Hydrogenated Lecithin. If you are prone to fungal acne, consider alternatives that are verified fungal acne safe, such as the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer (original formula).
Yes. This primer does not contain any active exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) or retinoids, so it is safe to layer over these treatments. Apply your retinol, vitamin C serum, or exfoliating products during your regular skincare routine and allow them to fully absorb. Then use the REFY primer as your final step before makeup. The niacinamide in this primer pairs particularly well with vitamin C for enhanced brightening results.
This primer is best suited for normal, dry, combination, and dehydrated skin types. It provides a hydrating, dewy, radiant finish that dry skin types particularly love. Oily skin types may find it too dewy and lacking in oil control — REFY's Blur and Hydrate Primer is a better option for oily skin. It is suitable for sensitive skin as it is fragrance-free and dermatologically tested, though patch testing is always recommended.
You will see an instant brightening and radiant glow immediately upon application. The roller applicator provides immediate depuffing and definition benefits. For longer-term skincare results from the Niacinamide, expect improved hydration within 1-2 weeks and visible reduction in redness and fine lines within 4 weeks of consistent use, based on REFY's user trial of 50 participants.
Apply this primer as the very last step of your skincare routine, after your moisturizer has fully absorbed, and before any makeup application. The recommended order is: Cleanser, Toner, Serum/Treatment, Moisturizer, then this Primer, followed by Foundation. Allow 1-2 minutes for your moisturizer to absorb before applying the primer. You can also wear it alone for a natural, glowy, no-makeup look.
No. This primer is labeled non-comedogenic by REFY and has a low comedogenic rating of 1/5. Most ingredients have a comedogenicity score of 0. The only notable ingredient is Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil, which rates a low 1 on the comedogenic scale. The formula is also silicone-free and oil-light, making it unlikely to clog pores for most users. If you are extremely acne-prone, patch testing is always a good idea.
The REFY Glow and Sculpt Face Primer has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. Store it at room temperature and do not refrigerate. The squeeze tube packaging helps minimize air exposure and contamination. Be sure to wipe the roller applicator after every use for hygiene and to maintain product quality. The 40ml tube typically lasts 2-3 months with daily use.
Verdict: The REFY Glow and Sculpt Face Serum Primer is a genuinely innovative skincare-makeup hybrid that delivers on its promise of radiant, healthy-looking skin. The built-in roller applicator sets it apart from every other primer on the market, turning a mundane step into a sculpting ritual. The Niacinamide-enriched formula offers real skincare benefits beyond just priming. It excels for normal to dry skin types who want a dewy, "glass skin" glow. However, the $34 price tag for 40ml feels steep, the dewy finish is not ideal for oily skin, and it is not fungal acne safe. If you love the glow trend and want a primer that doubles as a facial massage tool, this is a standout pick.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
