Can I use this cream under makeup, and will it cause pilling?

Yes, the cream's formulation is suitable for use under makeup. Its light texture is designed to absorb fairly quickly, which helps create a smooth base. A key component for this is the inclusion of silicones, which contribute to a smoother finish on the skin's surface, allowing makeup to apply more evenly.

To minimize the risk of pilling (where product rolls up into little balls), follow these steps: First, ensure your skin is clean. Apply a thin, even layer of the cream and allow it to fully absorb for a minute or two before proceeding with makeup. Rubbing or applying too much product can increase pilling. Using a patting motion with your fingers or a makeup sponge for foundation can also help. If you layer multiple skincare products (e.g., serums, toners), ensure each is fully absorbed before applying the next. The cream is a straightforward option for hydration, so it integrates well into a morning routine before sunscreen and makeup.
