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
It was great that there was no stickiness and the finish was fluffy. However, it seems a bit stuffy in the summer, so it might be difficult for oily skin to use in the summer.
Cons
The price is too expensive... Also, it doesn't seem to completely fill the pores~

Pros
Since my skin is dry, I either use it as a dewy, glowing base or bake it completely matte, and it finishes off nicely and softly matte. I use it every time I do matte makeup. Even though I have quite large pores, it fills them in well. It's a perfect fit for me and I'm using it well.
Cons
After applying sunscreen, when I put on primer, the sunscreen gets pushed around...

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
It really fills in the pores well. After applying it thinly, it feels so soft and smooth when you touch your skin.
Cons
At first, it was a bit difficult to use because the oil-like texture didn't seem to mix properly, and only the oil-like part came out. The price is a bit high compared to the amount, so it's slightly burdensome.

Pros
The pore coverage is really fluffy and works great. The amount is not much, but it's squeezed so little that it covers all the pores on the nose, cheeks, and forehead.
Cons
The price is really... expensive. It's honestly not a bad idea to use a product with good value for money.

Pros
The texture is smooth and soft, and it applies evenly and lightly on the skin. I used to avoid using a primer because it would feel heavy and cakey, and my makeup would end up melting off. But I tried it out at the duty-free shop and was so impressed by how lightweight and smooth it felt, so I couldn't resist buying it on impulse.
Cons
This one also makes my skin feel itchy. Why do the Makeup Forever products seem to irritate my skin? The itchiness is making me stop using it.
Tip
I haven't been able to use it enough times to provide any tips.

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
When I use the pore primer, I usually get cystic acne, but this product doesn't do that, which I really like. It has a less powdery effect than other famous primers, but it provides just the right amount of coverage that I need, so I really enjoy it. If it's too powdery, it can make my skin feel very dry, but this one doesn't do that, so I like it a lot.
Cons
The volume is too much. Not many people use a pore primer for 365 days..ㅠㅠ It would be better if they released a smaller size at a lower price.
