Ipkn Parfum
IPKN Parfum is the brand's pressed powder foundation line, with 15+ products on skinsli covering finishes, sizes, and refill formats. The core product is the Parfum Powder Fact - "Fact" is IPKN's shorthand for foundation - available in a full 20g original size and a Cube R compact at 14.5g. Finish variants address different skin types: the Moist Parfum Powder Fact R for dry skin, the Matte variant for oily or combination skin, and the Original for a standard balanced finish. The Parfum Powder Sun Fact 15g adds SPF to the same powder base for daytime sun protection. A blusher - the Personal Parfum Powder Blusher 6g - rounds out the makeup range within this line.

Buying Guide: IPKN Parfum Powder Foundation Collection
IPKN's Parfum line centers on pressed powder foundations called "Powder Fact" (Fact = Foundation). With 15+ products on skinsli, the range covers three finish types - Original, Moist, and Matte - in full-size and compact formats, a sun-protection variant, a blusher, a replacement puff, and refill sizes. This guide explains the differences between formats and how to choose the right Parfum Powder Fact for your skin type.
What the Parfum Powder Fact is
The IPKN Parfum Powder Fact is a pressed powder foundation. In Korean beauty product naming, "Fact" (팩트) is a colloquial term for compact or pressed powder foundation. The Parfum line uses this format with a smooth-pressed texture that applies evenly with a puff or brush and provides light to medium coverage with a powder finish.
Pressed powder foundations in Korean makeup are typically used in two ways: as a standalone base over moisturiser and sunscreen, or as a setting powder over liquid foundation for a longer-lasting, less shiny finish. The Parfum Powder Fact works for both - its formula is fine-milled enough to layer over liquid base without caking.
Original, Moist, and Matte finish options
Three finish variants appear in the IPKN Parfum collection. The Original Parfum Powder Fact 20g is the standard formula - a balanced semi-matte finish suited for normal to combination skin. The Moist Parfum Powder Fact R adds hydrating agents that prevent the dry-skin tightness that pressed powders can cause, giving a slightly luminous rather than flat finish. The Matte Parfum Powder Fact R is designed for oily or combination skin where shine control is the priority.
Skin type is the main decision point. Dry skin: choose Moist. Oily or combination skin: choose Matte. Normal skin: Original or Moist depending on whether you prefer a dewy or satin look. All three are available in both a full 5g trial size and the standard compact size on skinsli.
Parfum Powder Fact Cube R: the compact format
The Parfum Powder Fact Cube R is a compact case design in 14.5g size. "R" in IPKN product naming indicates a refillable format - the Cube R compact accepts replacement refills rather than requiring a full case repurchase when the powder runs out. This reduces the per-use cost over time and makes the Cube R format the better long-term choice if you settle on a shade and finish you want to keep using.
The Cube R Original 14.5g and the Cube R + Refill bundle are both available on skinsli. If you are testing the Cube R for the first time, the standard Cube R gives you the compact plus one powder. Once you confirm the formula and shade work for your skin, buy refills separately.
Parfum Powder Sun Fact 15g: SPF in a pressed powder
The IPKN 12.5 Parfum Powder Sun Fact 15g is a sun-protection pressed powder. It combines the Parfum Powder formula with UV filters, which makes it useful as a finishing step after moisturiser and dedicated SPF or as a touch-up product during the day. "12.5" in the name refers to the shade number rather than an SPF rating - check the product page for the specific SPF value.
A sun-protection powder is not a replacement for a dedicated morning SPF. Pressed powder layers too thinly for the UV protection to meet the full labelled SPF. Use the Sun Fact as an on-the-go SPF touch-up that also controls shine - apply over your existing SPF and foundation at midday rather than as the only sun protection of the day.
Personal Parfum Powder Blusher 6g
The IPKN Personal Parfum Powder Blusher 6g is a pressed powder blusher from the same Parfum line. At 6g it is a compact single-colour blusher - standard size for a powder blush. It shares the fine-milled texture of the Parfum Powder Fact, which means it blends smoothly and does not sit on top of the skin as a chalky layer.
Apply with a fan brush or a rounded blush brush after setting powder or foundation. The blusher pairs naturally with any of the Parfum Powder Fact finishes because the base formula chemistry is consistent across the Parfum range - Moist blusher over Moist foundation, for example, does not create a texture clash.
Parfum Powder Fact Puff: replacing the applicator
The IPKN Parfum Powder Fact Puff is a replacement puff sold separately. Powder puffs collect bacteria and product buildup with daily use and should be replaced or washed regularly. Having a spare puff on hand means you can wash one and use the other without interrupting your routine. A puff used with a compact powder delivers more product per press than a brush, which gives higher coverage but less buildable blending.
For a lighter, more diffused application of the Parfum Powder Fact, use a dense powder brush instead of the puff. For full coverage or for touch-ups over a full face of makeup, the puff applies more product more quickly.
Sizes and refills: which format to choose
The IPKN Parfum Powder Fact comes in three sizes: 5g (trial/travel), 14.5g (Cube R compact), and 20g (standard full-size). The 5g size is the lowest-cost way to test a shade before buying the full compact. At twice-daily use, 5g lasts approximately one to two weeks; the 14.5g lasts four to six weeks; and the 20g lasts six to eight weeks.
The Cube R format accepts refills, which reduces the per-gram cost significantly on repeat purchases. The Original Cube R + Refill bundle on skinsli is the best value for a first Cube R purchase because it includes the compact case and a spare refill powder together. The standard 20g Original Parfum Powder Fact is the full-size non-refillable option.
How to apply IPKN Parfum Powder Fact correctly
Apply the Parfum Powder Fact as the last makeup step, after skincare and any liquid base. Use the included puff for full coverage - press the puff into the powder, then press firmly onto the skin in sections rather than sweeping. Sweep motions move the powder around without pressing it against the skin, which reduces coverage and longevity.
For a lighter finish, tap excess powder off the puff before applying, or use a powder brush with a light circular motion. The Moist variant in particular benefits from a light hand - it is formulated to stay slightly dewy, so pressing too heavily can push the texture into a patchy, cakey look on dry skin areas. Touch up with the Cube R during the day using the puff, pressing lightly over areas where shine or wear is visible.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is IPKN Parfum Powder Fact?
IPKN Parfum Powder Fact is a line of pressed powder foundations from the Korean makeup brand IPKN. "Fact" (팩트) is Korean shorthand for compact powder foundation. The Parfum line covers three finish types - Original, Moist, and Matte - in several sizes plus a sun-protection variant, a powder blusher, and refill formats. skinsli carries 15+ Parfum products.
What is the difference between the Original, Moist, and Matte Parfum Powder Fact?
Original: balanced semi-matte finish for normal to combination skin. Moist Parfum Powder Fact R: adds hydrating agents for dry skin, with a slightly luminous finish. Matte Parfum Powder Fact R: shine-control formula for oily or combination skin. Choose by skin type - dry skin suits Moist, oily skin suits Matte, normal skin suits Original or Moist depending on the finish you prefer.
Is the Parfum Powder Fact Cube R refillable?
Yes. "R" in IPKN product names indicates a refillable format. The Cube R compact case accepts replacement refills so you do not need to rebuy the case when the powder runs out. The Parfum Powder Fact Cube R Original 14.5g and the Cube R Original + Refill bundle are both available on skinsli. Once you confirm the shade and finish, switching to refills reduces your per-use cost.
Should I choose the Cube R 14.5g or the Original Parfum Powder Fact 20g?
Choose the Original 20g if you want the most product per purchase and do not need a refillable case. Choose the Cube R 14.5g if you plan to use the same shade long-term - the refill format makes repeat purchases cheaper per gram. The Cube R is also slightly more compact in size, which suits travel or bag carry. Both contain the same Original formula.
Can the Parfum Powder Sun Fact 15g replace my daily sunscreen?
No. Pressed powder sunscreens cannot be applied thickly enough to deliver the full SPF shown on the label - they are touch-up tools, not primary sun protection. Use the Parfum Powder Sun Fact 15g as a midday SPF refresh over your morning SPF and foundation, not as a standalone sun protection step. Apply with a light press rather than sweeping to maintain even coverage.
How should I apply the IPKN Parfum Powder Fact for the best coverage?
Press the puff into the powder and then press it firmly onto the skin in sections - do not sweep. Sweeping moves the powder around without pressing it against the skin, which reduces coverage and longevity. For a lighter finish, tap excess powder off the puff first or use a powder brush with a light circular motion. Apply after skincare and any liquid foundation as the last step before setting spray if you use one.
Should I use the Parfum Powder Fact Puff or a brush for application?
The puff gives higher coverage and more even product transfer - use it for a full base look. A dense powder brush gives a lighter, more diffused result - use it for touch-ups or when you want a natural, skin-like finish. The Parfum Powder Fact Puff is available as a separate replacement on skinsli if yours wears out.
Does the Personal Parfum Powder Blusher 6g match the Powder Fact formula?
Yes. The blusher is part of the same Parfum line and uses the same fine-milled powder base as the Powder Fact. This means the textures are compatible - the blusher blends evenly over any Parfum Powder Fact finish without a texture clash or uneven pickup. Apply with a fan or rounded blush brush after your base layer.
Is the 5g PARFUM POWDER Fact a travel size or a sample?
The 5g Parfum Powder Fact (listed as "PARFUM POWDER Fact 5G Original Dry Oily" and the 5g Moist and Matte variants) is a trial or travel size. It is the lowest-cost way to test a shade before buying the full compact. At twice-daily use, 5g lasts roughly one to two weeks. Once you confirm the shade and finish work for your skin, move to the 14.5g Cube R or the 20g standard.
Is IPKN a Korean makeup brand?
Yes. IPKN (아이팩) is a Korean cosmetics brand known for its pressed powder foundations and face makeup products. skinsli carries the Parfum line as part of its Korean beauty catalog. All products are manufactured in South Korea and sourced from authorised channels.
Is the Moist Parfum Powder Fact suitable for mature or dry skin?
Yes - the Moist Parfum Powder Fact R is specifically formulated for dry skin, using hydrating agents that prevent the flat, dry finish that standard pressed powders can leave on mature or dehydrated skin. Apply with a light hand: press gently rather than firmly to avoid settling into fine lines. Pair with a hydrating primer or moisturiser underneath for best results on mature skin.
