There's not much difference before and after application. The texture isn't quite thick, but it's not runny either. It applies incredibly smoothly without irritation, leaving the skin feeling gentle and hydrated. When I apply cushion foundation or liquid foundation right after this, my skin looks flawless without any patchiness. As someone with combination skin leaning towards dry, I found myself using this more often in fall and winter. For those with oily skin, the Classic version might be a better fit than the Hydrating one. The size is about as big as your palm.
Cons
I didn't find anything particularly disappointing. There are many varieties available, so it's best to choose one that suits your skin type.

I apply this before my foundation, and it's definitely moisturizing and lovely. To be honest, I wasn't sure if it was making a difference since I use it daily. But on the few occasions I forgot to apply it and went straight to foundation, I noticed the foundation didn't adhere as well and looked less even. This product really shines in winter! When I use this and then apply foundation with a spatula, I can achieve a smooth, even 'boiled egg' complexion.
Cons
There's not much to complain about, but if I had to pick something, it's that when stored for a long time, the oil(?) and cream separate inside the container. I once stopped using it for a while to try another product, and when I pumped it again after a long time, I was surprised to see it come out separated.

I purchased this on December 24, 2024. I was originally using another brand's brightening moisturizer, but it wasn't great for my skin texture. So, I decided to switch to the famous Banila Co primer. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it turned out to be amazing! It doesn't dry out my skin, doesn't accentuate dead skin cells, and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I'm really satisfied with this product - it's truly a holy grail... Just look at my skin in the last photo - it speaks for itself! Without the primer (using only skincare, no other brand's primer), my blemishes and acne scars were surrounded by noticeable dead skin cells. My concealer was all patchy and it was a mess. But as soon as I used this, my skin improved dramatically. Highly recommended, especially for those with dry skin!
Cons
The only downside is that it's a bit tricky to control the amount at first, but you'll get the hang of it with practice!
Tip
Many people say to use primer before sunscreen if it's a sunscreen that leaves a white cast, and after sunscreen if it doesn't. But honestly, I think primer should always go on first, regardless of the type of sunscreen. It helps your makeup adhere better that way!

This is a product I use regularly. It creates a beautiful complexion. While it's a bit much for summer, I use it during the other seasons.
Cons
There's nothing particularly bad about it. If I had to say something, maybe that you can't see the contents inside?

•It seems to be somewhat covered, but it's a bit vague as it's thinner than expected and doesn't seem to work well.
Cons
•Even though there's still a long time left, the formula has already started separating before the full onset of summer. When I use it, water-like transparent liquid comes out first when I pump it, but then it sloshes around like a liquid when I shake the bottle again before thickening back up.

The scent seems to be a pleasant, mild skincare fragrance. As someone sensitive to scents, I personally found the fragrance to be good, and it was not a strong, irritating scent when applied to the skin, which I liked. The formula is like a lotion, with good spreadability as a primer. The translucent formula applies without stickiness and feels lightweight, so there is no heavy feeling when layering it under makeup. It also does not cause the base makeup to pill or shift. When applied, the skin feels moisturized and supple. The outer packaging is a clean, simple design. The pump-type packaging makes it easy to use the product and maintain cleanliness. While there are no dramatic effects, using the product is better than not using it. I've been using it for a few months, and I've noticed that my makeup applies a bit better and my skin looks less dull compared to when I don't use it. My skin tone also appears more refined, and my skin feels less dry. ⭐️ Overall, while using it is better than not using it, the differences are subtle. If you already have a good skincare routine and base makeup, this may not be a must-have product. However, considering the effects and price, I would consider repurchasing. ⭐️
Cons
The dramatic effect I expected was not there. Although I have dry skin, when I apply a base product (cushion), the area under my eyes and the center of my cheeks always become powdery and flaky. Around my nose and on my nose, there are also uneven textures and dryness, which has always been stressful for me. So I was looking for a cosmetic product that could cover these issues, and that's how I ended up buying this primer. However, after applying it to the flaky areas and uneven textures and then applying the base product on top, the dramatic effect of it covering well and the base adhering well was not as significant as I had hoped. The price is not exactly cheap considering the amount, so the cost-effectiveness is not great. It's not extremely expensive, but it's a bit pricey.
Tip
🍯Tip1. In addition to this primer, Banila Co. has many different types of primers, so it would be good to consider the desired function or skin type and purchase accordingly! 🍯Tip2. The order of applying this primer is to apply it after skincare, and then apply or layer makeup or sunscreen. Additionally, I recommend applying it one more time on dry areas!

⭐️ Before applying makeup, applying primer to areas like the sides of the nose or forehead makes a huge difference in using a cushion foundation! Using a primer before applying the cushion foundation prevents it from settling into pores and provides natural coverage. ⭐️ It has a moisturizing and smooth application, so you don't need to use a separate lotion or cream before makeup. ⭐️ The fragrance is one that anyone can use without any aversion. Personally, I really like the fragrance!
Cons
As I used the product, I was a bit disappointed that the primer essence(?) and oil were separate. And the Prime Primer Hydrating is a moisturizing primer, so it doesn't provide a completely smooth pore coverage.
Tip
I think it's a great primer to use with a matte cushion foundation! And I recommend it for those with dry skin types. For those who want a smooth pore coverage, I suggest using the Banila Co Prime Primer Classic.

The hydrating primer works well even for dry skin types.

I'm not quite sure... There must be a reason why a brand's lesser-known products are not as popular.
Cons
The smell is bad, and it's not even moisturizing - it's just a waste of time.

As soon as I apply it, my skin is filled with moisture! The makeup absorbs so well, making it feel so nice and hydrated!
Cons
Whenever the seasons changed, I used to struggle with flaky skin. But applying this before makeup makes my skin look so beautiful. The only downside is that the size is a bit small.
