Skin type: Dry-combination, no blemishes, and not at all sensitive, 21 shade I purchased it from Able for around 8,000 won First, I applied sunscreen, then the primer on the T-zone, and then layered foundation on top. Even though I have a dry-combination skin type, the primer didn't make my skin feel dry at all. The primer texture is similar to a treatment product... It wasn't watery and applied smoothly. I don't have many pores, but my skin texture and longevity aren't the best, so I bought this to help maintain a smooth, flawless look. There's a noticeable difference between using the primer and not using it - my makeup applies much better with the primer. And my skin looks so smooth! Most of all, the packaging is so luxurious and pretty. The scent of this primer is amazing - it's like a sweet shampoo fragrance, I wish they would release it as a perfume! I will definitely repurchase this!
ConsThe amount is disappointing considering the price, and it's a shame to use it all over the face.
TipI would recommend applying it with a brush!

This one doesn't lift, and it seems to fill in pores nicely. I think those with large pores will really notice a difference!!
ConsTo be honest, I don't really use my hands. I only apply it on important days.

Product Introduction The Hwahae Startup Pore Primer is a pore-covering primer used before makeup application. It smoothens the skin surface and enhances the adherence and longevity of base makeup. It is particularly suitable for those concerned with wide pores and uneven skin texture, and provides an oil-control effect for a velvety finish without any oiliness. 🔬 2. Key Ingredients and Effects - Silica Powder: Absorbs sebum and prevents shininess - Tea Tree Leaf Extract: Soothes the skin and prevents blemishes - Green Tea Extract: Antioxidant effect to protect the skin - Skin Conditioner: Softens the skin texture for better makeup application -> The combination of these ingredients naturally covers pores and fine lines without making the skin feel stuffy. 💧 3. Texture and Usage Experience Texture: Soft and silky cream type Absorption: Applies lightly and adheres quickly to the skin Finish: Velvety and refreshing When applied with fingertips, it melts into the skin and seamlessly fills in skin irregularities. It provides a smooth, matte finish without any oily feel, making it suitable for use even in the summer. 🌱 4. How to Use 1) After skincare, apply a small amount before makeup. 2) Gently pat it onto areas with noticeable pores (around the nose, forehead, chin, etc.). 3) Lightly spread it out with your fingertips to ensure it adheres well to the skin. 4) Apply foundation or cushion on top for a flawless skin finish! TIP: Using too much can cause patchiness or cakiness, so the key is to apply a thin, even layer. ✅ 5. Advantages - Excellent pore-covering ability for a smooth skin appearance - Oil-control function to minimize shine - Lightweight feel without any heaviness for a natural finish - High satisfaction with a good price-to-performance ratio ⭐️ 6. User ReviewsI used this because I was concerned about the pores on the sides of my nose, and it definitely made my skin look smoother, so my foundation applied really well! There was less shine in the afternoon, and the T-zone area in particular stayed clean, which I'm very satisfied with. However, I think it would be better to use this with a moisturizing product during drier seasons! 📊 7. Overall Evaluation Pore Coverage: ★★★★★ Skin Texture Correction: ★★★★☆ Longevity Enhancement: ★★★★☆ Maintenance of Velvety Finish: ★★★★★ Cost-Effectiveness: ★★★★★ Recommended For: ✔️ Oily and combination skin types needing pore and uneven texture coverage ✔️ Those concerned with summer shine ✔️ Makeup beginners looking for a cost-effective primer Not Recommended For: ❌ Extremely dry skin (may cause dryness) ❌ Those who prefer a natural, luminous skin finish
Cons1) May feel somewhat drying on dry skin 2) Excessive use may cause flaking 3) Makeup longevity may vary depending on skin type

As I've gotten older, my makeup just doesn't seem to apply as well anymore, no matter how expensive the products are. Since I don't usually apply my makeup heavily, I didn't use a primer until a friend recommended it to me. Now, I can't do my makeup without this product - I strongly recommend it.
ConsI felt no particular discomfort, so I have no regrets whatsoever.
TipAfter applying sunscreen, apply this product. Layering foundation or cushion on top will create a smooth, flawless complexion. The finish lasts well over time with minimal breakdown.

After using it, I found the smooth and soft feel, as well as the soft, powdery finish, to be quite nice. It also fills the pores well, allowing for a clean makeup application. Comparing days when I used the primer and days when I didn't, I noticed a difference in longevity (of course, the days I used the primer had better longevity!). As this is my first time using a primer, I can't compare it to others, but I've been using this product every time I do my makeup. It's satisfactory in terms of value for money. If primer prices are a concern for you, I gently recommend this product.
ConsThe downside is that if you apply too much, it can clump. As a primer, if you apply too much, it can easily clump and cause the makeup to become uneven, so you should only apply a small amount.
TipTo overcome the above downside, I've been using a spatula instead of my hands. Using a spatula allows me to apply the primer thinly and evenly on the skin, resulting in a smooth skin finish. It also helps fill the pores even better.

ConsDoes not fully function as a primer... The most important part ㅠㅠ Rather than covering pores, it helps improve makeup longevity and provide a moisturizing effect...
TipMixing with BB cream makes it more complementary, used it by mixing with a thin type of BB cream ~ Recommend online purchase as there are only a few Apieu offline stores

I can't really compare it to other primers since I haven't tried them...
ConsThe formula is moisturizing, but if you apply too much, the base makeup gets pushed around!! You really have to apply it thinly, like coating it.
