Pros
To provide more accurate reviews, let me share some additional details. After applying skincare, I use primer on my large pores and oily T-zone area, then apply a light sunscreen before using a semi-matte cushion foundation. I finish with a no-sebum powder. Based on this routine, here are my thoughts: - Although the product appears small in size, a little goes a long way and it lasts quite a long time. - The compact size makes it convenient to carry around. - It effectively fills in my smaller pores and blends smoothly. - It has slightly better longevity compared to my previous Revlon primer.
Cons
- As it's a compact product, I'm a bit concerned about dust getting in and hygiene issues. - Even after mattifying my base, by lunchtime my T-zone becomes shiny and oily, with the coverage fading slightly. - If you apply too much, it can look cakey and uneven. This requires some trial and error to find the right amount. - Using primer on dry, flaky areas can emphasize the texture even more.
Tip
Everyone seems to be sharing the same essential tips, which are more like necessary usage instructions than just tips. Start with an extremely small amount and gradually increase as needed, observing how your skin reacts. Additionally, those with dry, flaky areas should avoid applying primer directly on those spots, as it can worsen the appearance. I've made that mistake before and ended up with a cakey, unnatural look around my nose.

Pros
The cost-effectiveness of the product is good. Quite a few people around me say it's better than Benefit.
Cons
For my combination-sensitive skin with large pores, I don't feel like it covers well. The texture is a bit powdery, but it's relatively firmer compared to the Banila Co primer. It's moderately matte. As for the longevity, I'm not sure. Oil comes up on the T-zone area. In short, I can't really feel the difference between what's right and what's not.

Pros
Am I the only one who feels this covers better than the Benefit Pore Professional?
Cons
Since it's a compact type, it's a bit questionable in terms of hygiene. Looking at just the pore coverage, this is truly amazing, but it's extremely matte, so there are quite a few days where I have to wipe it off and reapply my makeup because it gets cakey or looks strange.
Tip
Properly control the application amount

Pros
You'll likely end up buying it even if you just test it on the back of your hand I've done that;; The wrinkles and pores on the back of your hand disappear like an eraser The large pores don't become completely perfect But the small pores similarly disappear quickly The longevity isn't entirely perfect But that's an area even professionals have difficulty with I understand. Anyway, it's an amazing product for the price. Plus, even though it seems small, it lasts an incredibly long time The ingredients are also better than I expected
Cons
The jar type is a bit disappointing in terms of hygiene But the jar type is unavoidable given the formula... When applied, the skin does become a bit matte But that level is insufficient for oily skin in the summer And it's a bit drying for dry skin in the winter Those with silicone sensitivities Will definitely have issues with it
Tip
If the amount was even a little bit more, it would be too much Applying a small amount and then using latex to Pick up the remaining residue makes it a bit better

Pros
The pore-filling function works well, and it helps control the oiliness, which is great for oily skin. The ingredients are also better than other primers, so it's a product I'm drawn to. Just applying this alone gives a blurred effect, without anything else. It's a great product. The texture of the product is, hmm, kind of creamy.
Cons
However, it does feel a bit stuffy, so you'll need to cleanse your face thoroughly. And considering the product texture, it seems like it would easily trap dust. 😥 In the winter, it's a bit matte.
Tip
Roll it around gently as you apply it!

Pros
First, fill in the large pores. I bought the VDL primers because they couldn't fill in the pores enough! I mainly apply it to my nose and I'm satisfied with it~
Cons
It's too matte.. It's a bit hard to apply. It's so thick and gooey.. I think if I use less, it will all slide off.
Tip
I have a lot of large pores on my nose, so I only apply a small amount there, and apply the VDL primer to the other areas~

Pros
Right after application, it appears silky and matte, looking perfect.
Cons
As it is a night-type, it may seem like the pore coverage is matte and silky at first, but it is very weak against sebum, so the effect disappears quickly.

Pros
It's smaller than I expected, but since I only use it on the targeted area, I feel like there's a lot of product. The nose area looks smooth, but the cheeks...there's not much I can do since my pores are quite large. The longevity is better than not wearing anything, but I wouldn't say it's extremely good.
Cons
Dust tends to cling to it, which may look a bit unhygienic. And when applied, it has a matte finish.

Pros
The pore coverage is really great - it fills them in so smoothly and silkily.
Cons
I found it to be too matte and difficult to apply, so the foundation would sometimes look cakey or slide around a bit.

Pros
I used to use Vanilaco, but I purchased this because the ingredients are good.
Cons
It's irritating and itchy right after applying it. Since I have sensitive skin, that's probably why I'm reacting that way. Just because the ingredients are good doesn't mean it's good for everyone. Personally, Vanilaco worked better for me. I recommend testing it out at the store before purchasing.
Tip
The reaction went away right after I washed my face. If you're sensitive or think it doesn't suit you, I wouldn't recommend continuing to use it - it's best to wash it off immediately. For the matte finish, I'd recommend it more for oily skin than dry skin. Adjusting the amount is also more difficult than with a pump bottle, and it's not as hygienic.
