Pros
At first, it might feel a bit oily, but after application, it becomes soft and fluffy. There are times when it feels a bit dry, but if you have a good skincare routine, it's fine. I was worried about the enlarged pores on my cheeks and nose, but this is a must-have. If you don't use this and just apply foundation, the pores will be visible.
Cons
You may feel it's drying. You should apply the moisturizing essence well. It's expensive...

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
I've switched from a famous competitor's product to this one! It's much smoother and softer in controlling my pores, and I feel less dryness. There's a noticeable difference in my makeup on days when I use this versus when I don't.
Cons
The opening is too narrow, and I feel anxious that it might burst when I press down. And the price is a bit high 😢 It's a primer that I only use a small amount of, so I wish they would decrease the volume and lower the price accordingly. It's less drying than other products, but in the winter, it could still cause some flakiness.
Tip
Apply it on the nose and cheeks, then use the remaining product to cover the brow tails and eyelids. This helps boost the staying power without needing a separate eye primer.

Pros
As the name 'Texture Equalizer' suggests, it leaves the skin feeling soft and velvety when applied. It also effectively conceals pores. It controls the oiliness in the T-zone and cheek area, resulting in a nice finish. I especially liked using it in the summer.
Cons
There's nothing particularly bad about it, but like most primers, it can feel a bit drying on dry skin during the fall and winter seasons.
Tip
For those with uneven skin texture, if you don't have a primer application tool, using a metal spoon can help spread it evenly and minimize the appearance of bumps.

Pros
Not bad, but not great either. I got my makeup done at the store and was pressured into buying it, but as a primer, it's just so-so. It works well when mixed with sunscreen, as it definitely reduces oiliness. The amount is quite generous (probably because I use so little as a primer). I bought it along with the Absolute Fact, and when used together, it's a bit too drying (I have combination skin that leans more towards oily).
Cons
It's too drying, especially when used with the Absolute Fact - it's powerfully drying.

Pros
If I had to think about the good points, I'd say it's the clean feeling before applying makeup... That was kind of nice in a way.
Cons
I wouldn't recommend this to people with dry skin.. There was something about applying this that felt really drying! After applying, it didn't feel like a nourishing oil, but more like your face was just coated in oil. And personally, I couldn't really tell the difference before and after using it.

Pros
I've been using it for about 2 weeks! I went to buy foundation and got a sample test, then immediately bought it~!! Although I have combination skin that is dehydrated, the T-zone area used to be quite oily, but this is so great! Before, the foundation would feel like it was melting off due to the oil, but now it stays matte and fresh all day!!>< When you apply it, you'll be like 'Huh? What is this?' haha This is a total gem for me!
Cons
I wouldn't recommend this for those with very dry skin! It gets super matte the moment you apply it.. For me, this was a game-changer, but it really depends on your skin type!^^
Tip
For this product, it's better to use the latex puff from Make Up For Ever rather than applying it with your hands. They say that's the perfect match! I've been using that puff too~!
