Product Information
Full details
The ISAMAYA Microbial Gel is designed for individuals seeking a high-performance primer that balances skincare benefits with makeup prep. This multitasking formula serves as an antibacterial shield against environmental pollutants while deeply hydrating the skin, making it an excellent choice for those with an active, urban lifestyle. While it provides a superior dewy base for makeup application, users should note that the tacky finish is a functional element for grip, which may require a moment to settle if you prefer a fully matte aesthetic.

FAQs
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula contains soothing botanicals and prebiotic support designed to balance the skin, though we recommend a patch test if you have specific skin sensitivities.
Can I wear this without makeup?
Yes, it provides a hydrating and protective layer that leaves the skin looking refreshed and dewy even when worn alone.
How does it protect against pollution?
The gel creates an antibacterial shield on the skin's surface, which helps prevent fine pollutant particles from settling directly into the pores.
Is this primer oil-free?
The formula is designed to be lightweight and non-greasy, focusing on hydration via hyaluronic acid rather than heavy oils.
How often should I use it?
It is safe to use daily as part of your morning skincare and makeup routine.
Troubleshooting
Makeup appears streaky after applying the gel
Ensure you are using a pressing motion to apply the gel rather than rubbing; wait one full minute for the gel to set before moving to foundation.
The product feels too sticky
You may be using too much product. Start with a smaller amount and focus on a thin, even layer across the T-zone and cheeks.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports the skin's natural microbiome
- Provides a protective environmental shield
- Excellent grip for long-lasting makeup application
- Deeply hydrating with four types of hyaluronic acid
- Lightweight, non-greasy texture
Cons
- The tacky finish may feel unusual to those accustomed to silicone-based primers
- Specific scent profile may not appeal to everyone
- Designed for a dewy look, which may require setting powder for oily skin types
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, start with a freshly cleansed face. Dispense a pea-sized amount of the Microbial Gel onto your fingertips and gently press it into the skin, focusing on areas where makeup typically fades, such as the nose and chin. Allow the gel to settle for approximately 60 seconds to reach the optimal tackiness before applying foundation. This primer is compatible with most liquid and cream formulas but should be tested with oil-based foundations to ensure a consistent finish. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the natural prebiotics and active ingredients.
