The difference between the Taiwanese and Japanese versions of Sofina Primer

There is no difference. Products from Hong Kong and Taiwan are all imported from Japan. Although Kao has factories in Vietnam and Taiwan, the Sofina production line is currently only in Japan, which is one of the reasons why Sofina is more expensive than Biore.

It should be the difference between Primavista and Primavista Ange primer. From the very beginning, there was no so-called difference between the Taiwanese version and the Japanese version, but Kao Sofina's consideration was for the overseas market. Faced with the gradual M-shape of consumer income (the gap between the rich and the poor) and the rise of emerging markets, Kao has created another affordable brand in response to the market.

The reason why Primavista Ange is called the Taiwanese version is that it is currently only officially sold in Taiwan (I heard that some people in Hong Kong sell parallel imports), and it takes the affordable open-shelf route. But in fact, Kao also has a factory in Taiwan, but Ange is still produced in Japan, so it cannot be called a Taiwanese version at all. In addition, Primavista is still being sold through specialty counters in Taiwan and has not been removed from the shelves.

If we have to say the difference between the two, the first is the price. Ange's price is much more affordable. In addition, Ange claims to be developed specifically for the Taiwanese market, and has made special efforts to adapt to the humid and hot Taiwanese climate. Most of the people who buy Ange products are young women (young skin is prone to oily conditions). The entire brand product line almost overwhelmingly emphasizes oil control. Therefore, of the two isolation products under Ange, the oil-control one has always sold better than the moisturizing one.

In comparison, Primavista was launched for the Japanese domestic market from the very beginning. It is relatively balanced in terms of oil control and moisturizing, without being particularly biased towards either side.

Kao Sofina's strategy is actually quite obvious, which is to use the Taiwan market for training. Once the ASEAN economy matures in the future, Kao can pull Ange out to enter the ASEAN market at any time.

This is the end of the introduction to the differences between the Taiwanese and Japanese versions of Sofina primer. If you go to Japan, you can buy this and try it.
