Wondering if the 50 ml size of The Base+ is enough? This guide breaks down when the starter tube works and when you might want a larger option.
Quick answer
The Base+ 50 ml is a smart starter size if you want to test the cream before committing to a larger tube, or if you need a travel-friendly moisturizer. It holds about 1.5 months of daily use. If you already know you love The Base+ and use it every day, the larger size offers better value per ounce.
What makes The Base+ 50 ml different?
The Base+ 50 ml is the same easily absorbed face cream as the larger version, just in a smaller tube. It's designed to work on its own as a moisturizer or as a base for mixing in boosters like Oh Mega Oil 8+ or C Loves E+. The smaller size makes it ideal for travel, gym bags, or testing the formula without a big commitment.
How long does 50 ml last?
With one pump per use (morning and night), a 50 ml tube typically lasts about 6 to 8 weeks. That's enough time to see if the cream suits your skin. If you use it only once a day, it can stretch to 3 months. For reference, the 50 ml size is roughly the same volume as a standard travel-size toothpaste tube.
When to pair The Base+ with a booster
The Base+ is formulated to be mixed with boosters. If you want extra nourishment, add 2-3 drops of Oh Mega Oil 8+ to your palm before applying. For a brightening glow, mix in C Loves E+. The 50 ml size is especially handy if you plan to try different booster combinations, because you can finish the tube and switch without waste.
How to decide: 50 ml vs. larger size
- You travel often: The 50 ml tube is TSA-friendly (under 3.4 oz) and fits easily in a carry-on. You won't need to decant into smaller containers. If you travel at least once a month, the 50 ml is a practical choice.
- You want to test The Base+: The starter size lets you try the formula for 6-8 weeks. If it doesn't suit your skin, you haven't invested in a large tube. Perfect for first-time buyers or those switching from another moisturizer.
- You already know it works for you: If you've used The Base+ before and love it, the larger size will save you money per ounce and reduce packaging waste. Skip the 50 ml and go for the bigger tube.
