The Genesis of a Skincare-Infused Foundation

The HARIAS Medicated Cushion Foundation was born from a direct response to evolving lifestyles and customer feedback during the pandemic. As mask-wearing became prevalent, many experienced skin concerns like acne and irritation. Recognizing this shift, the brand embarked on a mission to develop a base makeup that combined skin kindness with ease of use, ensuring users could enjoy makeup without compromise. This led to a joint development with a pharmaceutical company, resulting in a quasi-drug cushion foundation backed by rigorous research and solid evidence.

Unveiling the HARIAS Medicated Cushion Foundation’s Appeal

This innovative foundation stands out with its multi-faceted approach to beauty and skin health:

1. Dual Active Ingredients for “Medicated” Benefits

It incorporates two powerful active ingredients: Niacinamide and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. Niacinamide is known for its ability to improve wrinkles, prevent spots, and inhibit melanin production for a brighter complexion. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, on the other hand, boasts excellent anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in preventing acne and soothing irritated skin. This potent combination transforms makeup application into a dedicated skincare ritual.

2. A Unique Formula Rich in Skincare Actives

Built on a skincare-first philosophy, the foundation features a proprietary blend of 95% serum ingredients. This luxurious formula includes high-concentration Flavangenol®2, Triple Vitamin C3, and Alteromonas Ferment Extract, all renowned for their anti-aging4 benefits. After more than 100 prototypes, HARIAS perfected this unique formulation, designed to cultivate firm, beautiful skin with continued use.

3. Long-Lasting Elegance and Natural Radiance

Beyond its skincare prowess, the foundation delivers a natural, sophisticated glow. It expertly manipulates light to create a bright, poreless skin impression without any heavy feel. The long-lasting formula is also mask-resistant, maintaining a beautiful finish for up to 24 hours5. “It’s truly a game-changer for those who want their makeup to do more than just cover, offering both beauty and care in one compact,” a beauty enthusiast might exclaim.
