Hydrating Gel Skin Tints

REFY Skin Base Was Shaped by Feedback from Community Testers

REFY Skin Base is a new, skin-caring complexion product in the form of a hydrating gel tint designed to provide "the confidence of great skin without feeling like you're wearing makeup." Unlike some products that sit heavily on the skin, this one differentiates itself with a breathable, buildable, undetectable Korean-formulated gel texture that becomes part of skin. This lightweight, skincare-first tint was made for real skin and real routines, and developed in collaboration with a community of testers who provided feedback to ensure it hit the mark.

Skin Base incorporates ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Inclusium, and it's packaged in an innovative push pump packaging design with a built-in palette for precisely applying its inclusive shades.
