Pros
It's easy to use without being difficult, just like a professional.
Cons
When I first used the professional product, I broke out in acne, so I just... that's how it was.... It's also expensive.. I don't really know any good points about it..

Pros
I had oily and large pores since my teenage years, with a skin type prone to acne. Currently, my skin is closer to neutral, but the enlarged pores are still a source of stress. I first tried this product around 4-5 years ago when it was first released, and I loved it. However, I gradually stopped using it after about a month. Recently, I remembered this product and bought it again. ➕It works great as a primer. Using it before makeup helps fill in the pores well, and there is significantly less shine on the areas where I apply it. I highly recommend this to anyone dealing with pore or oiliness concerns!
Cons
➖I'm getting skin breakouts. For me, this product just doesn't seem to work. When I used it a few years ago, my skin was already prone to frequent breakouts, so I didn't realize it was causing issues. But recently, my skin only gets about one pimple a month. However, after using this product daily for a week, I suddenly had a major breakout. I thought it was due to a new skincare routine I had started, so I switched back to my original routine, but the skin problems persisted. Then one day, it dawned on me that it might be because of this product. And sure enough, once I stopped using it, my skin went back to normal, and the new skincare products I had started using also worked fine without any issues. The pore-refining and oil-controlling effects are truly amazing, but it just doesn't agree with my skin. Checking the product on Hwahae, I see it has a lot of potentially harmful ingredients. From now on, I'll be sure to check Hwahae first before purchasing any products, even though it's an expensive one. It's a shame I can't use it, and I don't know what to do with the product since I can't pass it on to a friend either.
Tip
Highly recommended for those dealing with skin texture, pores, and oiliness! If your skin doesn't react to products easily, this is a great option!

Pros
Among the primers I've tried, this was the best. It covered almost everything except for the large pores, and it was also good for skin texture irregularities. It gave a sense of organized refinement! The powdery finish was also nice :) My mom tried it and bought it as well!
Cons
The large pores aren't completely covered, though.? Since it's a product that covers pores, I'm not sure if it's because of the feeling of blocking the pores, but it sometimes causes blemishes.. But it covers well, so I like it!
Tip
I think it depends a lot on how you use it. The Hwahae Trial Reviewers applied this product as a tool on their faces, and I spread it out by rolling my fingertips on it, applying it thinly. The tip is to apply it by rolling it on in small amounts. (Don't expect it to fill in the large pores by itself!) Anyway, I recommend this among the Hwahae products!

Pros
I have a combination skin type! In the summer, even if it's not exactly dry, the T-zone tends to get oily, so I started using this product! Actually, I went to buy powder and the staff member recommended this to me, and they applied it over my makeup with a brush, and it absorbed the oil and made my skin look like it did when I first put on my makeup! First of all, when you apply a small amount of this product, the texture is so smooth! I don't use a brush, I apply it with my hands, and as I smooth it out, my skin feels so soft and velvety! The adhesion also seems good - even though it makes my skin look matte quickly, the adhesion is still strong.
Cons
The price is a bit high, though ㅠㅠ Since primers are usually used in small amounts, one purchase should last until the expiration date. In fact, I think I could even use it after the expiration date, haha. So it would be good if they could reduce the volume a bit and lower the price a little too, haha. The adhesion and texture are good, but if you apply too much, it can feel a bit slippery, and I've had some breakouts, though I'm not sure if it's because of this product. You have to use a small amount and cleanse your face well!! Other than that, it's a good product!
Tip
This product can be used before makeup, but the staff member said it can also be used as a touch-up over makeup. In that regard, it's lighter than other primers, so it doesn't feel heavy. And I agree, it does feel quite light and not heavy at all!

Pros
The product is a godsend for someone like me with oily skin that produces a lot of sebum.
Cons
After using it for a few weeks, I started to experience breakouts, so I had to stop using it.. It seems to have clogged my pores.

Pros
It applies smoothly. The makeup definitely lasts longer as well.
Cons
I think I'm getting breakouts ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Those with sensitive skin should be careful.
Tip
I'm not sure if it's any different from other products, but if you spread it out well, it should absorb nicely.

Pros
The pore coverage is great, and even after a long time of wearing makeup, it doesn't break down and helps control oil.
Cons
I get breakouts. I wonder why the matte primer is like that ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Pros
I've been applying the product, but I've noticed that my pores are taking longer to produce sebum, and my makeup is lasting longer before breaking down. This is a positive sign...
Cons
I think I had very high expectations, and the results weren't as dramatic as I had hoped. My pores seem to have widened, and I've experienced some breakouts in the areas where I've been using the product.

Pros
After applying, you will be highly satisfied with the soft and smooth skin. The foundation also applies well on top of the pores.
Cons
I only applied it on my nose, but from the day I started using it, a large pimple kept appearing on my nose. Even a month later, a red scar is still left. When considering your skin, don't clog your pores.
