How to use
Use as the final step in your skincare routine, after toning your skin with lotion, emulsion, or face cream. For UV protection, use a UV-blocking product after this product. Take an appropriate amount (approximately 2 cm long) and apply to five areas of your face (cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin). Spread using a circular motion with the palm of your hand, blending carefully from the center of your face outward. Recommended for use on areas that come into contact with hair, etc. If any product remains on your eyebrows, they may turn white, so blend carefully. We recommend washing your hands after use. Your hands may become slippery, or objects you touch may turn white. The contents may be difficult to dispense at first. Press the center of the tube firmly. Tightly close the cap after use.

I bought this hoping it would keep my nose and T-zone dry. I mainly used it in the summer. It does leave my skin feeling smooth, but doesn't it leave any flakes? Is it just me? When I spread it and applied a primer, it left behind what looked like eraser shavings. I recently tried it for the first time in a while, and while it didn't leave any flakes, it still left a film on my skin, which was bothersome. Maybe it doesn't work well with the primer. I won't be buying it again.
I received a sample and liked it so much that I bought it. I use it to moisturize before applying makeup. It has a firm powdery texture that leaves my skin feeling smooth, but it moisturizes without making my skin feel dry or flaky. It's perfect for winter, too. It doesn't flake even when I apply makeup over it.
I wouldn't say it dramatically hides pores, but I've only just started using it, so I'm going to try out different ways of applying it!
I've been wanting this for a long time, but it was sometimes sold out, so I finally got it. It feels a little hard when you pick it up, but as soon as you blend it in, it becomes smooth and flat, and my pores are less noticeable. I only use it on the center of my face, not my whole face, but my makeup on my T-zone and lower eyelids seems to be less smudged than usual, and I wish I had bought it sooner when I first started to notice it! Curel is safe for sensitive skin! I'd definitely like to buy it again!
