It fills in pores effectively, making your makeup look even more beautiful. 2. It applies smoothly and moisturizes like an emulsion, adhering to the skin in a thin layer.
ConsI didn't experience any blemishes and found it worked really well when I used it, so I don't have any complaints.

After using it, I'm impressed by its smooth texture and matte finish. It fills in pores well, allowing for a clean makeup application. There's a noticeable difference in makeup longevity between days with and without primer (of course, it lasts longer with primer!). As this is my first primer, I can't compare it to others, but I use it every time I apply makeup. It's great value for money. If you find primer prices daunting, I gently recommend giving this product a try!
ConsThe main drawback is that it can pill if you apply too much. Due to the nature of primers, overapplication can lead to pilling and cause your foundation to look patchy, so it's crucial to use only a small amount.
TipTo overcome this issue, I've started using a spatula instead of my fingers. Using a spatula allows for a thin, even application of the primer on the skin, resulting in a smoother complexion. As a bonus, it helps fill in pores even more effectively.

Doesn't cause blemishes or pilling. No need to wait between layers.
ConsDoesn't fully function as a primer... which is the most important part. Rather than covering pores, it mainly improves makeup longevity and provides hydration...
TipMixing it with BB cream helps compensate for its shortcomings. I used it blended with a thin BB cream. Since A'pieu has limited physical stores, I recommend purchasing online.

It's not thick but rather moisturizing, which makes it easy to spread. I also like how it seems to cover pores fairly well. I can't compare it to other primers since I haven't tried any before...
ConsBe careful not to apply too much of this moisturizing formula, or your base makeup might pill! You really need to apply it in a super thin layer, almost like you're coating your skin.

I don't use it daily, but on days when my pores are particularly noticeable. While it's better than using nothing, it doesn't quite give that flawless porcelain finish.
ConsIt doesn't effectively fill in pores or fine lines. After some time, it tends to bunch up on the skin.

The application is smooth, and the fragrance is pleasant.
ConsThere's really nothing disappointing, but if I had to point out one thing, it's that it doesn't seem to control oil that well.
TipI use it in the order of skincare, sunscreen, primer, and cushion. When applying the cushion, gently patting it on the areas with larger pores helps conceal them better than just rubbing it on.

Surprisingly smooth application for a primer. Seems to extend the wear of makeup slightly.
ConsNeeds to be used with the intention of smoothing the skin texture. Should not have excessively high expectations for pore minimization.

When applied with your fingertips, it melts in smoothly and has great spreadability. Just a small amount on the cheeks and nose areas makes your makeup look much smoother. It doesn't completely fill in pores, but it's a good primer for the price. It helps lock in your makeup well. I don't have very oily skin, but it manages to control the slight oil on my nose and forehead areas. It leaves a soft, velvety finish all day long, without feeling heavy or clogged on the skin. Oh, and the fragrance is absolutely divine. Even though I'm very sensitive to scents, I can't get enough of this one and keep wanting to use it. When I dab it on with the cushion puff on top of the primer, the lovely scent lingers, making me feel great when I apply my full makeup.
ConsThere's nothing disappointing about it. I bought it on the Etude House website using a membership coupon for just a few thousand won, and it's an excellent primer for the price.
TipJust apply a very small amount at a time.

It perfectly fills and smoothens my large pores, which is perfect for someone like me who has enlarged pores. Other products can feel a bit thick and sticky, but this one applies smoothly and evenly.
ConsI couldn't find any downsides... I only use this primer!
