Pros
It effectively minimizes pores. When using this, the oiliness is definitely reduced. It's good for refining skin texture.
Cons
The price is quite expensive. It would be better if it came in a smaller size since the amount is too much.

Pros
Before applying makeup, be sure to use a primer - it will help cover small pores nicely! (However, for those of us with larger pores like myself, it may not cover as well) Still, among all the primers I've tried and bought, this one is 👍🏻
Cons
After doing my makeup, my skin gets oily by 3-4 pm in the afternoon. I suppose it's because I have combination-oily skin with a lot of oil production. Especially in the T-zone, on my nose and around it..ㅠㅠ (I guess I have to blame my face for that ㅠㅠ)
Tip
After doing my full makeup, I just squeeze a little primer and apply it only on my large pores. Then I dab it with a cushion, and the large pores disappear..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (I feel a bit bad for clogging my pores, but it's my own little makeup hack, I guess..?) And finally, using the Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder really helps 👍🏻

Pros
It fills in large pores well and also seems to minimize the appearance of skin unevenness.
Cons
If the application is not properly controlled, there may be some pilling, but otherwise I don't see any major downsides.

My pores are not particularly large, but I was pleased that this product effectively concealed them.

When applying makeup, I feel like I'm using a lot since I have to use a bit each time. I would recommend buying a smaller product.
Tip
Apply by rolling it on!

Pros
Unlike other products, this pore primer applies smoothly and softly, not tightly, and it effectively covers pores and uneven skin texture.
Cons
I liked it so much that I used it up too quickly..ㅠ
Tip
It's great to use as a pore primer before makeup, but it also works well to control oil if you apply a small amount on areas where excess oil comes up after makeup!

Pros
The pores are well covered, and the skin texture is nicely smoothed out. The product works great at refining the skin texture and covering the pores effectively. I was worried that the ingredients might cause breakouts, but I've been using it without any issues and it's been working well for me!
Cons
As you'd expect, if you don't apply it carefully, the makeup can start to look uneven. And it seems that the more frequently you use the primer, the more the pores tend to appear a bit larger than before using it. So you have to be mindful when cleansing your face, and the price is on the higher side. But these are common characteristics of most primers, so I take that into account when using it.

Pros
I was very satisfied when the staff at the department store applied this product to me, as it immediately minimized my pores and made my skin look as smooth and soft as a baby's. The color blended well with my skin tone, so there was no cakey appearance. It feels soft and has a pleasant scent.~ The ingredients are not the best, but I would highly consider repurchasing this after finishing the current one.^^
Cons
After application, my skin does feel a bit dry, so it's best to focus on a good skincare routine beforehand. Even though I have oily skin, I experienced some tightness in the T-zone area. When I used this product along with sunscreen and foundation, there was some pilling. The price is also not very affordable ㅜㅜ I'm not sure of the exact ingredients, but I did get a few pimples after using this, which went away when I stopped. ~If pore coverage is your main concern, this product is excellent. Here are before and after photos of just applying this product directly on the back of my hand without any other skincare.
Tip
Before applying this product, make sure to thoroughly moisturize your skin. Using only a small amount and applying it only to the areas with larger pores can help prevent any pilling or patchiness.

Pros
The pores were well filled and the finish felt soft and smooth. It was easy to cover the pores. Compared to the Benefit Pore Professional, this one covers about 77% compared to the Benefit's 90%. There also didn't seem to be any trouble with it.
Cons
When applying the foundation, it can sometimes feel a bit uneven. If applied incorrectly, it can become patchy and slide around. It seems like you need to have a good skincare routine and apply it carefully.

Pros
The coverage is great, a reliable product. I bought it based on my sister's recommendation. It's a bit less moisturizing though.
Cons
If you have dry skin, it's not good. It accentuates flakiness. You need to have a moisturizing base, then it works a bit better.

Pros
I received samples of foundation and primer. When the store clerk applied them, most of the texture was covered, but when I used just a small sample, I had a huge breakout. Primers with a similar texture to the Benefit primer don't seem to work for me. They do help a bit with oiliness and pores, but the Benefit one was similar.
Cons
Primers with this silicone-based formula don't seem to work for me. Primers in this color range just don't suit me. The Banila Co. primer from the days when pores weren't a big deal seemed to work well for me. I'm glad I just used the sample, since it caused a breakout and didn't really fill in my pores or cover the texture well. I returned the full-size product.
