As these external stressors can trigger the formation of everything from dark spots and fines lines to general dullness, the brand created a proprietary plant-based complex called VoluSmooth that promises "a whole new level of protection." VoluSmooth is the result of years of research and work with forty chemists, who shared their expertise to develop this natural silicone alternative that doubles as an [antioxidant-rich barrier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-pollution-serum). The priming product is ideal for using alone on bare skin to [smooth over pores without clogging them](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashbox-cosmetics), or under a makeup look to create a virtually perfected finish.
