What it is — Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer is a silicone elastomer.
What it does — It gives a smooth, velvety, soft-focus feel, helping blur the look of the surface and refine a product's texture.
Typical use — Seen in primers, tone-up creams, base makeup and some serums.
Who it suits / good to know — Often welcomed by those wanting a smooth, matte-leaning finish. It is a sensory ingredient rather than an active; those avoiding silicones may prefer other options.
