I've tried Benefit's Porefessional, which is famous for pore-filling, but I came back to this one. It applies smoothly, and if you take a little time to work it into your pores, it creates a great base for foundation. When you first apply it, it might feel a bit rich, which could put off those with combination or oily skin. However, I have combination skin myself and I'm still using it happily.
ConsWhen applying, you can feel its richness, and I found it needs a bit of time to set before applying foundation.
TipFor best results, take your time applying it with the intention of filling in your pores. This method enhances its effectiveness.

The price isn't burdensome either, and it's great for all seasons except the peak of summer. I recommend it for combination and dry skin types.
ConsUnfortunately, it's impossible to see how much product is left in the container. Despite that, it does last quite a while.

Compared to other products, it has a smoother application, so I'll likely stick with this one.
ConsWhile a single purchase lasts a long time, it's disappointing to see the price keep rising...

It effectively fills in fine lines around the eyes and pores, especially doing wonders for those pesky nose pores. As a bonus, its pleasant scent makes you want to use it more. Initially, it feels wonderfully hydrating, and over time, it sets to a lovely matte finish, almost like you've applied powder. The areas where you've applied the primer become smooth as silk, while untreated areas remain noticeably rougher. After application, you get this soft, powdery feel, but surprisingly, there's no dryness at all. Some might find it pricey, but a little goes a long way, making it last longer and delivering impressive results - once you try it, you'll see it's worth every penny. Plus, it significantly improves makeup longevity, making it definitely worth a try.
ConsIt's neither too hydrating nor too matte, falling slightly short of being a holy grail for both dry and oily skin types. While it's decent for general use, if you're on the hunt for your ultimate primer, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. One downside is that it can pill if applied too vigorously or carelessly, so it requires gentle handling. Also, it doesn't really conceal texture issues - they remain visible whether you use the primer or not. I wouldn't recommend this for those with prominent pores. If you're expecting dramatic results, this product might not meet your expectations.

Lightweight feel: It applies smoothly and feels refreshing on the skin. Ingredients: I appreciate that the ingredients are generally good quality. Effectiveness: It makes pores less noticeable (though they're not completely invisible) and smooths out the nose area.
ConsEffectiveness: While the primer effect is good, I'm not sure if it's exceptionally great. It seemed a bit less effective on larger pores.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsRecently, I've been struggling with my makeup not adhering well and feeling stressed about my pores, so I bought the Banila Co primer! The application is smooth, and it adheres well to the skin. It doesn't feel heavy or thick, making it a great choice for those who want a natural base. I appreciate that it's not a matte type, which means it's relatively suitable for dry skin as well.
ConsHowever, I was expecting the primer to make my skin smooth and matte, but is this how primers usually work? It doesn't seem to minimize my pores at all... So I'm a bit disappointed. The oil control effect is minimal, which means makeup tends to break down easily when oil surfaces. If you're looking for a primer that effectively covers pores and uneven texture, this product might leave you wanting more. While it's fine for light makeup, I hesitate to recommend it to those who prioritize pore coverage. I hope you find a better product!
TipSqueeze out an amount about the size of a bird dropping onto your index finger, then rub it with the index finger of your other hand. Apply it in sweeping motions from your nose to your cheeks, moving towards your cheekbones, and voila - your primer is applied!

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.ProsSince I have large pores, I always use a primer when applying makeup. This product does a good job of filling in pores while absorbing well, so I find myself reaching for it often. It applies smoothly but has a slightly matte finish, which was especially nice in summer (and it adheres well to the skin too). The packaging is compact, making it convenient for travel. I'm definitely planning to repurchase!
ConsIt does feel a bit pricier compared to other primers, but I use just a pea-sized amount each time, so it seems to last quite a while. Very large pores are still challenging to fill completely (that's my skin's issue... but it's better than not using anything). In winter, it can be a bit drying, so you need to make sure your skincare base is solid before using it!
TipDuring winter or when your skin tends to get dry frequently, applying a hydrating sunscreen before this primer prevents flakiness and helps your makeup look beautiful!

As a frequent primer user, I tried many options before settling on this one after careful consideration. It absorbs so well that even beginners can apply it easily, making it a great starter product!
ConsI didn't experience any disappointments or inconveniences while using it. However, if I had to nitpick, the only issue is that it's hard to get the remaining product out of the container when it's almost empty!

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 was curious about this product due to its popularity, so I decided to give it a try. First off, it absorbs really well and has no scent. The pump works smoothly, and even after multiple uses, the nozzle stays clean without any buildup. The size may look small, but since you only need a little bit of primer, it should last quite a while. I have combination dehydrated skin with large pores, and while it's definitely better than not using anything, it doesn't completely create a flawless complexion. Maybe I'm just not skilled at applying it! Still, I'm satisfied with it overall.
ConsI'm not sure if it's because I can't control the amount well, but no matter how many times I try, it doesn't seem to effectively cover my large pores.
TipUsing a spatula to apply it works much better.

This is the only primer I use now.
ConsIf you don't control the amount well, it can feel like it's pilling a bit.
