Pros
The application itself is very smooth and glides on nicely. Since I have quite large pores, it doesn't completely fill them in, but it does make them appear a bit smaller.
Cons
After applying, the foundation tends to slide around. I used a matte cushion foundation, but it ended up looking uneven and not particularly flattering on my skin.

Pros
Since I don't have great hand skills, I haven't seen extremely good results yet. However, I can feel a slight difference when I apply it versus when I don't.
Cons
The texture feels a bit watery, so I'm not sure if it covers the pores well... You have to be careful with the amount you apply, as it can become cakey if you use too much.
Tip
Purchase it during sales or at duty-free shops!

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.

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
It's great to use in the summer. It's not a matte product, so it's less drying as well. It has some unevenness and pores, but after using it, the skin texture looks better. I'm satisfied that the T-zone doesn't break down as much!
Cons
Depending on skin condition, the makeup may slide off, so you need to be careful.

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
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...

The texture feels smoother and the pores appear smaller right after application.

Even a slight overuse can cause some areas to look heavy, so that part needs to be carefully monitored.

Pros
There were no troubles!!! Whenever I used the primer, my skin would feel rough(?) the next day, but this product did not irritate my skin.
Cons
I didn't feel like my pores were being filled. The finish was just... haha My skin is super oily in the summer and dry in the winter. When I used it in the fall, my foundation was completely sliding off. There was also some strange flaky skin coming up, but it was coming from the primer itself, not my skin. I also felt very stuffy. When I put this on, I had a feeling like something was going to happen?? That made me feel a bit... so I ended up not using it.
