My skin type: extremely dry, no blemishes, not sensitive at all, shade 21. I bought it on Ably for about 8000 won. I applied sunscreen first, then the primer on my T-zone, followed by foundation. Despite being a primer, which dry skin types often avoid due to dryness, I didn't feel any dryness at all even with my extremely dry skin. The primer's texture is like a treatment...? It wasn't runny and applied smoothly. I don't have many pores, but my skin texture and makeup longevity aren't great, so I bought this to maintain lasting power and achieve that baby-skin look. There's quite a difference between using and not using the primer, and makeup applies well after using it. It makes the skin look smooth! Above all, the packaging is so luxuriously beautiful. And the fragrance of this primer... it's such a sweet shampoo scent that I wish they'd release it as a perfume. I definitely plan to repurchase!
ConsThe quantity is a bit disappointing for the price, and it feels like a shame to use it all over the face given the amount.
TipI recommend applying it with a brush!

I tried the primer for the first time and it really helped boost the longevity, and I loved it!! The cost-effectiveness is also good.
ConsThe disappointing part is that it's a discontinued product? And it doesn't seem to cover pores incredibly well.
TipMelt it with your hands and apply only a small amount!

A little bit salty and round~ Just rub it in and it will last a long time! I like it😊
ConsThe only downside is.. there's really nothing, but since it's a primer, it tends to clog pores, so I hope you'll cleanse your face well~

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.

The longevity is also quite good.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI used to live my whole life with a glossy, dewy makeup look, but recently I've been drawn to the semi-matte trend and wanted to try it out. So I tested and bought a primer, and to my surprise, I found a really nice one that's also affordable. Since my pores aren't too prominent, I focused on the wear and adherence of the makeup. When I first applied a small amount to my face, I was like, "Whoa, this is surprisingly silky!" My previous primer was more hydrating and had a slightly tacky finish, while the famous pore-filling primer I tried before had an unrealistically silky texture. This one doesn't have an extreme feel, but it definitely leaves a different finish compared to my bare skin - my skin feels so smooth and velvety. Thanks to this primer, my makeup applies really well. I have some slight unevenness around my nose due to blackheads, and I always have to gently pat and soothe that area when applying. I'm not sure if it's just a placebo effect, but the makeup seems to adhere much better in that problem area after using this primer. I'm quite satisfied with the results.
ConsHonestly, I don't really feel like the longevity is that great. Especially since I'm the type who flushes easily when drinking alcohol or when my face gets heated up, and my makeup tends to just melt off in those situations. So I shouldn't have expected this primer to make my makeup last forever. I didn't have any dramatic expectations for this product - I just wanted something to help prep my skin before foundation application. It does the job well enough for everyday wear, but there's no miraculous change. I think of it as a way to nourish my skin (psychologically) before putting on my foundation. It can be a bit drying, which is an inevitable issue for us dry-skinned folks. Even with the semi-matte/matte craze, it's still a struggle for us dry types. This primer might be a good balance of mattifying and not overly drying for those with more normal/combination skin. *Update (October 27): Actually, I take back what I said about the longevity not being great. It actually does a really good job of controlling oil, especially around my nose and cheeks. There are times when I forget to apply the primer, and I can definitely tell a difference - my t-zone gets shiny and greasy much faster without it. So this primer is really effective at keeping my skin looking more matte and controlling excess oil throughout the day. I think I may have underestimated its performance before.
