When applying, gently pat the product around in a circular motion. For the pore areas, press down firmly.
After applying to one area, wipe off any residue on your finger with a tissue before moving on to the next area. This will prevent it from getting cakey.
Don't be too heavy-handed on the nose, just apply an appropriate amount and then set with powder over your makeup.

It doesn't cover the nose pores and doesn't control nose oil either.
If you're a matte friend, you may want to avoid this.

The primer may not have the best ingredients, but it doesn't seem to be too irritating. 
The Navison pore area coverage and longevity are quite decent.
When I wear a mask, the center of my chin and around my mouth tend to wear off, but this product has good longevity.

You should only apply a small amount and spread it evenly.
If you apply too much, the foundation will instead clump up and look messy.

It's fine at first after opening, but after using about half of it, there's a sense that the contents are hardening.
So the application becomes less smooth compared to the beginning.

Using it on the nose and around the nose area before makeup can cover pores and make the skin smooth.
I think this product suits me better than the famous Benefit product. Clinique seems to have a more powdery finish compared to Benefit, so as an oily-skinned person, I prefer Clinique.

I used to use Benefit>Meffo>Nars(discontinued)*3>Maxstick>Addiction*2>L'Oreal>Clinique in that order
The Nars product was the best for covering wrinkles
For pore coverage, Nars>Addiction&L'Oreal were the best for the nose, and Clinique was the best for the cheeks! Clinique also had the best lasting power for me!
Personally, the Benefit and Meffo products were always heavy and dry no matter how I used them, so I stopped using them too, for your reference

The coverage of the nose pores is a bit disappointing compared to other products! But since it doesn't feel heavy and doesn't emphasize flakiness, I can still go with it haha

It doesn't feel like it's covering the pores+It's not heavy and has a light feeling+It's excellent at covering the pores on the cheeks+Its long-lasting power for half a day is a special feature!!
I don't have any trouble, so I think I'll stick with Clinique for a while 너무너무 좋아요

If you apply this product and finish with powder, the pore coverage is no problem^^

Large pores aren't covered very well...
But overall, it covers well.

It covers pores without a stuffy feeling.
The ingredients are gentle and it doesn't dry out the skin...
I'm only using this one product.

The longevity is about 8 hours or so.
It's not that long, but, well, I'm a satisfied user, so it's all good~

I am a pore-prone individual.
I have spent a lot of money trying to cover up my pores, and I haven't found anything that works.
This product is a godsend for me.
It's such a lovely little thing.^^
There may be individual differences, but I think most people won't regret using it.

For those who can't use other primers due to breakouts,
try using the Clinique Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
morning and night, and then use the Instant Perfector as a primer before makeup.

Apply a small amount while the face is still moisturized.

When the face is dry, it can feel like it's peeling off.
The price is expensive.
The very large pores may not be perfectly covered.

Unlike other primers, it doesn't feel like it's clogging the pores, but rather covers the skin in a comfortable way.
The mini-mini size is great for portability.
It's good that it doesn't cause any breakouts.

Using this makes your pores covered, but your skin looks dull, making it hard to achieve a lively skin appearance.
I used it because of my past acne scars and loss of skin elasticity due to aging ㅜ

Use only a 'speck' of it at a time.
If it's not enough, squeeze out another speck and apply.
If you squeeze out too much, 100% of it will be left over, and using it bit by bit is more natural than using it all at once.
The more you use, the more dull your skin will appear.

If I had to point out something, when my skin condition is not good and breakouts occur, I feel like it's because of this product...; if the ingredients were a bit better??
But then the pore coverage wouldn't be as good ^^;
I want to find an alternative product, but I'm not sure yet (if anyone has any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it ㅜㅠ)

(Update after continued use: Even though I don't use it often, since I've been using it for a long time, it does seem to make my skin condition worse when I use it during bad skin days - it's always been like that ㅜㅠ That's why I don't use it much except in emergencies, so I'm changing the rating from 4 stars to 3 stars.
And if you leave it for a long time, it starts to harden up a bit and the texture changes slightly..)

I've been alternating between this product and a similar one for a long time, (to be honest, the other one is better and doesn't cause any breakouts, but it's not available these days, so I'm using the ones I have stocked up ㅜ)
Anyway, this one! You don't need anything else, it's mainly for pore coverage.
It also has a slight blotting paper effect.
What more could you want than pore coverage, right? ^^
The volume may seem small before using, but it lasts an incredibly long time.

The price? Haha. If you apply too much, it can feel heavy.
But just a small amount works great!

My pores are wonderfully covered! I've only tried this and the Vanilla Korr primer, but just a small amount on my nose and cheek areas makes my skin feel so soft and poreless, like a porcelain doll! Sometimes when I'm in a rush to meet someone without a full skincare routine, I just apply this and it gives me a great natural, glowing complexion.

Applying other cosmetics on top can cause caking and pilling.
Instead of making the surface smooth and matte, it can look dry.

Minimizes enlarged pores and acne scars by nearly 50%.

There's not much I dislike about this product, but when you first open it, the formula is a bit on the runny side. I prefer a slightly thicker texture that can better penetrate the pores, so I leave the cap open for a while when I first start using a new one (to help it thicken up faster).

This is a silicone-based pore primer that is an essential must-have item for those with large pores. I've tried all kinds of cosmetics that claim to be good for pores and oily skin (such as Porefessional, Mousse Primer, Banila Co., Laura Mercier, etc.), but I've ultimately settled on Clinique.
I've been using it consistently for over 6 years. After completing my skincare routine, I gently roll and press it into the areas with noticeable pores, and it really helps to smooth them out.
