My review of the best science backed skincare primer:
I’ve always taken skincare seriously, not obsessively, but enough to know when a product is more about branding than results. Over the years I’ve tried a lot. Some I liked, most I forgot about. However, recently when I moved apartments recently, packing it all up made me realise how many bottles I’d collected just to keep up the idea of a routine that worked.
Turns out, most of it wasn’t doing much. Just sitting on the surface, layering textures without improving anything underneath. So I decided to reset. Start fresh with a tighter routine. One brand, maybe two. Fewer steps, more intention.
That’s how I found Parëva™ Beauty. What stood out immediately was the tone: transparent, minimal, and clinical without posturing. The full ingredient list is broken down by purpose and percentage (they call it The (F)actuals™), which felt less like a marketing angle and more like something I didn’t know I needed until I saw it. Not to mention the fact that it’s vegan, cruelty-free, non-GMO, and free from the 2,700+ questionable ingredients still floating around in a lot of “clean” beauty.
I ordered the RH5.5™ Hydrabond Primer first, mostly because I’d just run out of my own. The packaging was clean and sturdy, and I loved the shade of green. It went on easily and felt more like skincare than any other primers I’ve tried before. No pilling, no greasy film later in the day, and it actually held up my makeup through work, errands, and an accidental nap.
And it surprised me how little I needed. Two drops and I was set. The finish was soft, hydrated, and balanced. Like my skin, but calmer and less visible pores. My makeup layered nicely, but even without it, my skin looked noticeably more even and less reactive. Something that I found in the past to not always be the case
A few days in, I started reading up on the Molecur 3™ formulation, exosomes, NAD+, the whole thing, and realized the skin benefits weren’t just a bonus. They were kind of the point. This wasn’t just smoothing things out; it was restoring the barrier and supporting collagen at the same time.
So I ordered the other two products, and now, post-cleanse, that’s it. Three products that I’m in love with. No second guessing or “what am I mixing with what today?” Just a lineup that doesn’t just make my skin look good on the surface, but offering support that will continue to benefit me down the line.
What I’ve realised through this whole process is that skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. It’s not about chasing the latest trends or layering on every product promising miracles. It’s about trusting what’s proven, understanding what you’re putting on your skin, and choosing simplicity without compromise. Parëva™ Beauty helped me find that balance, a routine that respects my skin and my values, with results that actually last. In a world full of noise and hype, that kind of clarity is worth holding onto.
