The price is a bit high... It may vary from person to person, but it doesn't completely cover the pores.

I bought it because it's so famous, and first of all, the application was great!
It's a bit pricey, but you can use it for quite a long time after buying it.
I have combination skin, but I used it without any major issues.

스무드 & 프로텍트 프라이머 [SPF50/PA++++]

I haven't used it for long, so I'm not sure yet.

The pores are somewhat concealed and it's not too drying.
It's good that I can layer it.

There's nothing disappointing.
It's a bit drying, but I found a matte type that works for me.

I found a dry primer, so I'm satisfied.
It definitely helps reduce makeup from getting cakey during the summer when I sweat a lot and have a lot of oil buildup.

It was a bit drying for my dry skin type.

The texture is not too thin, but has a slightly thicker, velvety feel.
It has a lovely, soft, and smooth texture!!
At first, I thought it was a pore primer!
It has the typical feel of a general pore primer that you might expect.^^ 
When applied, it fills in fine lines and leaves a radiant, glowing look!
Since I described it as fluffy and airy, it must be an oil-free product!

The price and quantity are quite evil.
However, since I only need to use an amount the size of a baby fingernail, it lasts me around one and a half years! I've uploaded a photo showing how much I use each time.

I have combination skin with dehydration issues!!!🤫

Price: 50,000 KRW for 30ml
Total usage: 1 unit
Usage stage: After skincare, before primer
Texture: Rich, silky primer texture
Recommended skin type: T-zone with abundant oil

I've been using the Benefit primer for a while, and then tried switching it up. I really liked the NARS cosmetics, but the Benefit primer is still the #1 in my opinion. Haha. As someone with enlarged pores, it does help to smoothen them out, but the Benefit one is even more effective. NARS is great too, but not as good as Benefit in my opinion. (Honestly)

I'm the type to just slap on my makeup quickly. This primer absorbs right away and leaves a smooth, flawless finish so my foundation doesn't budge.

NARS products do tend to be on the pricier side, but aside from the cost, I don't have any other complaints!

I found it a bit tedious and stuffy to apply sunscreen and primer separately, so I've been searching for a primer with built-in sun protection and finally came back to NARS. I really liked using the Radiance Primer before, and this one has great application and a nice scent. These days, I prefer a more satin finish over a dewy look, and this primer checks all the boxes for me!

The evil price and ingredients... The ingredients are not very good, so I only apply it on important occasions and don't use it regularly.

It does have a certain effect of filling in pores to some degree. After application, the skin feels soft and smooth, and the creamy primer formula allows you to apply a small amount and still cover the skin sufficiently.

Those who couldn't use highlighter before due to the accentuation of wrinkles and uneven texture can now use highlighter freely after using this product.

The price is outrageous. It would be better if it were around 40,000 won.

The wrinkles on my forehead have truly vanished.
The primer I used before couldn't fully fill in the forehead wrinkles, but this is an excellent product that seamlessly eliminates the wrinkles.

Before squeezing out and using the product, gently massage the container to ensure the oil-like ingredients and primer-like cream are evenly mixed!

Apart from the brand being a bit pricey, there doesn't seem to be any other downsides.

Coverage: When you apply this product and then put on foundation, it completely blurs the pores!
Adherence: Just a small amount rubbed onto the fingertip and applied to the pores, and it envelops them completely.
Spreadability: It has a slightly oily, balm-like feel when applied.

I couldn't find any particular shortcomings. I've been using it without any special issues.

The primer seems to be working well. There is a noticeable difference in my makeup with and without using the primer.

I'm a bit sensitive to smells, and there is a somewhat chemical-like odor to it.

I purchased the product directly from the store and had it modified. It is definitely applied properly, and the BB cream or cushion makes my skin look smooth, so I have a 100% repurchase intention.
