It holds off the sun
SPF50+ PA++++, carried by five filters. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide scatter the light, three chemical filters absorb it, and running both is how a base this light gets to the top of the scale.

Skin Caring Blemish Balm Cushion · SPF50+ PA++++
One press covers you, shields you and treats you.
Press, pat, and you are done: even coverage that still reads as skin, the highest sun rating Korea awards, and two skincare actives working underneath it all day. Korea licenses this cushion for all three at once — sun, tone and wrinkles — which is a licence almost no base makeup holds.

Cushion and refill, both in the box
Three jobs, one compact
Korea will not let a cosmetic claim sun protection, tone or wrinkles unless a named active sits behind each one at a set dose. This cushion is licensed for all three, and the actives are printed on the carton.
SPF50+ PA++++, carried by five filters. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide scatter the light, three chemical filters absorb it, and running both is how a base this light gets to the top of the scale.
Niacinamide at a full 2% — the same dose as our Multi Vita serum and cream, not a token sprinkle. It evens tone and supports the barrier for as long as you are wearing it.
Adenosine at 0.04%, the dose Korea licenses wrinkle claims on. So there is real treatment happening under the coverage, not just colour.
Three iron oxides do the optical work the moment you pat it on. Coverage is buildable and deliberately natural, so it reads as good skin rather than makeup.
Why it lasts
A cushion that slides off by lunchtime is not protecting anything. This one is built in three layers, and only the middle one is about colour.
The formula goes on wet and light rather than thick, which is what keeps it from clinging to dry patches or settling into texture. It is why it works straight after a treatment.
The colour and the sun protection travel in the same layer, so you are not choosing between wearing SPF and wearing a base. One press does both.
A trio of fixing polymers sets a flexible film over the top. That film is what stops the finish moving in heat and humidity, and what keeps you from touching up every two hours.
Heat, air conditioning and a car window are the three things that break a base in the Gulf. The film layer is the answer to all of them — it sets instead of staying wet, so what you patted on in the morning is still where you left it.
The sun protection
All-mineral bases leave a white cast and all-chemical ones can sting. Running both means you get the top rating without either problem — comfortable enough to wear every day, which is the only sunscreen that actually protects anyone.
Butyloctyl salicylate sits at 6% and looks like a sixth filter. It is not one — it is the solvent that keeps the other five dissolved and comfortable on skin. Five is the honest number, and five is enough for SPF50+ PA++++.
| Filter | Concentration | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Titanium Dioxide | 9.00% | Mineral — scatters light |
| Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate | 7.00% | Chemical — absorbs UVB |
| Ethylhexyl Salicylate | 4.50% | Chemical — absorbs UVB |
| Octocrylene | 2.00% | Chemical — absorbs UVB and short UVA |
| Zinc Oxide | 2.00% | Mineral — broad spectrum |
Three shades
Match your depth first, then your undertone. If you are between two, take the deeper one — it warms up on skin, where the lighter one can sit flat.
The lightest
For fair skin that burns easily and rarely tans, with cool pink or bluish undertones. The lightest pigment load of the three, so it brightens rather than warms.
The one most people wear
For light to medium skin with neutral undertones. Exactly twice the pigment of Ivory, which makes it the safe middle if you are between two shades. Our best seller.
The deepest
For medium to tan skin that holds colour, with warm golden or olive undertones. Around three and a half times the pigment of Ivory, so it covers without going ashy.
Same sun protection, same niacinamide, same adenosine, same peptides. The only thing that changes between #01, #02 and #03 is the iron oxide, so no shade protects or treats you better than another.
The puff
The applicator is the part nobody thinks about until it starts drinking your product. This one was engineered so it does not.
Pointed at one end, so it gets into the curve beside your nose and the inner corner of your eye without folding over. That is where most cushions leave a gap.
An ordinary cushion puff is three layers and soaks up whatever it touches. The waterproof film underneath keeps the formula in the cushion and on your face, so the compact lasts as long as it should.
When the first 15 g runs out, push the used insert up from underneath and click the new one in. No second purchase, no waiting.
How it picks up on the puff, how it sits once patted in, and how far one press actually goes.
How to use
Every morning · the last step before you leave
Press the puff onto the cushion — lightly. It picks up far more than it looks like it does, and taking too much is the only way to make this product look heavy.
Tap it onto the skin rather than dragging it across. Patting is what settles the layer evenly and keeps it from streaking on dry areas.
Go back over redness, marks or shadows with a second thin pass. Thin layers stacked stay looking like skin; one thick layer never does.
Push the empty insert out from underneath, click the spare in, and you are back to a full compact. Keep the puff or use the fresh one.
SPF ratings are measured at a thicker layer than anyone wears a base, so for a normal day — the commute, the office, the school run — this does the job. For hours in direct sun, put a dedicated sunscreen underneath and top up. That is true of every tinted base, not just this one.
The formula
Two registered actives doing the work, nine peptides named on the carton, and the full list below with nothing left out.
The registered tone active, at a full 2% — the same dose as the Multi Vita serum and cream. It evens tone and supports the barrier for as long as the cushion is on.
The registered wrinkle active, at the dose Korea licenses wrinkle-improvement claims on across the range. Real treatment under the coverage, not just colour.
Titanium dioxide 9% and zinc oxide 2% scatter the light; ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate 7%, ethylhexyl salicylate 4.5% and octocrylene 2% absorb it. Together they carry SPF50+ PA++++.
Trimethylsiloxysilicate, an acrylates/stearyl acrylate/dimethicone methacrylate copolymer and an acrylates/polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate copolymer set a flexible film, which is what keeps the finish from moving in heat and humidity.
Nine peptides, the count Korea prints on the carton: Hexapeptide-9, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide-11, Tripeptide-1, Alanine/Histidine/Lysine Polypeptide Copper HCl, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Nonapeptide-1. They are skin-conditioning ingredients at trace level; the registered actives are niacinamide and adenosine above.
An antioxidant, present at trace level alongside the peptides. The tone work in this formula is done by niacinamide at 2%.
Aqua (Water), Titanium Dioxide, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Glycerin, Lauryl PEG-10 Tris(Trimethylsiloxy)silylethyl Dimethicone, Methylpropanediol, Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Octocrylene, Zinc Oxide, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Quaternium-90 Bentonite, Magnesium Sulfate, Anemarrhena Asphodeloides Root Extract, Glutathione, Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Alanine/Histidine/Lysine Polypeptide Copper HCl, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-11, Hexapeptide-9, Nonapeptide-1, Adenosine, Tocopherol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyglutamic Acid, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Dimethicone, Isododecane, Acrylates/Stearyl Acrylate/Dimethicone Methacrylate Copolymer, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Mica, Aluminum Hydroxide, Acrylates/Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Stearic Acid, Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Iron Oxides (CI 77499).
Every ingredient, in the same order as the box in your hand. Identical for all three shades apart from the pigments.
Quality
Nothing leaves the factory untested, and nothing reaches you here without being registered for sale in the UAE first.
Daily sun protection is what keeps pigmentation from coming back. Stubborn melasma and post-inflammatory marks respond best when a dermatologist works alongside your routine.

|---|---|
| pH | 6.5 — the same range as healthy skin, so nothing to sting or tighten |
| Purity | Every batch tested for microbial count and cleared well inside the limit |
| Shelf life | Three years unopened, with the expiry date on the box · 12 months after opening |
| Cleared for the UAE | All three shades registered with Dubai Municipality, alongside the Korean certificate of free sale |
Before you use it
Precautions as printed on the GENOSYS carton, including the two the Korean panel carries. Use within 12 months of opening.
Complete the routine
The cushion is the last step of the morning. Clean skin, a mist and a moisturiser underneath are what make it sit well and stay put.

The details
Questions
Match depth first: #01 Ivory for fair skin that burns easily, #02 Beige for light to medium, #03 Camel for medium to tan. Then undertone — cool for Ivory, neutral for Beige, warm for Camel. Between two? Take the deeper one, and test it along your jawline in daylight rather than on your hand.
For a normal day, yes. Sun protection factors are measured at a heavier layer than anyone applies a base, so if you are going to be out in direct sun for hours, wear a dedicated sunscreen underneath and top it up. On a commute-and-office day the cushion is doing the job on its own.
That is what it was built for. The texture is light, the formula is dermatologically tested, and the actives are the gentle registered pair rather than acids or retinol. Follow whatever waiting period your clinic gave you after needling, laser or peels — that instruction comes from them, not from us.
You get 30 g in total: a 15 g cushion plus a 15 g refill in the same box. For most people wearing it daily that is several months, and there is no second purchase in between.
Lift out the empty insert by pushing up from the hole underneath the case, drop the spare in and press until it clicks. It takes about ten seconds and the puff can be reused or swapped for the fresh one.
It is a cushion, not a full-coverage foundation: an essence-light texture with buildable pigment. Take less than you think on the first press, pat rather than drag, and add a second layer only where you want more.
One press covers you, shields you and treats you.
