This is the ultimate primer for life, I've tried professional primers and makeup primers, but they're all mediocre. This one is the best, it's really creamy and fills in all my pores.
Cons
Realistically, I only use a little primer, but this one has only 10ml, which is even better.

The pore primer seems quite good. It seems to cover better than Benefit.
Cons
Most primers seem to be like that, but using it daily makes the skin feel stuffy.
Tip
It's better to use a small amount only on the pore area.

You're using it well. I don't have any skin troubles, but my large pores are the biggest downside of my skin. When I apply this before makeup, it helps conceal the pores well and reduces excess oil too haha.
Cons
The downside is that it can get clumpy when mixed with foundation. I recommend applying this thoroughly before foundation.
Tip
Apply a thin layer around your porous areas and then apply foundation for a porcelain skin effect.

Among the famous primers that cover pores, this is a hidden gem that is much better than Benefit. Paul & Joe is not very well-known in our country, so many people may not be aware of it. I was hesitant to use it because I wanted to keep it to myself, but here it is. The primers I've mainly used are Benefit and Maybelline, and a common issue with these products is that the formula is not very thick, so if you apply it even slightly wrong, the pores become visible again. No matter how much you layer it, the coverage doesn't increase. However, using Paul & Joe made me realize that having a thick, creamy formula that doesn't break down is the top priority for easily concealing pores!!!! This is really important, guys!! Thickness and viscosity are crucial!! This product covers pores easily with just a small amount. The creamy formula maintains coverage even when layered, and doesn't break down! The coverage actually gets better! Of course, you need to be careful not to apply it too thickly, as it can look cakey. Paul & Joe is hugely popular in Japan, but its awareness in Korea is not that great, so I feel like I have a hidden gem all to myself. For those who prefer a more matte and smooth skin finish over a dewy, glowy look, I'd also recommend the Maybelline and foundation products with this. The skin finish is quite different - it looks naturally smooth and matte without looking cakey or emphasizing texture. It gives a porcelain-like skin appearance. That's why the primer is so good.
Cons
There wasn't much negative. The only thing is that Paul & Joe doesn't have many physical stores, so you have to buy it online.
Tip
The most important point is that if you apply powder on top of this product, it can look very cakey, so be careful. Since the formula is so creamy, it doesn't seem to pair well with powder-type products. The same goes for powder foundations. I just dab the areas where I've applied the primer to avoid any cakiness.
