I'm a huge benefit gal...and yet was still a little skeptical about this one, because I wasn't sure it would make that much of a difference. Wow, was I impressed. It wasn't so much minimizing my pores as it was taking away all the oily shine from my face and allowing my makeup to stand out more! So ...

Don't get me wrong, I love Benefit. Who doesn't love the darling vintage illustrations, quirky packaging, and cute names, but I have to say I'm disappointed with the Porefessional Primer. Pros: 1. It makes your skin smooth and matte, 2. it's packaged nicely, and 3. it makes your makeup stay longer: ...

Sadly not the same formula
I used this primer for years and the new formula does not blur my pores or acne scars like the old one did. I'm so sad because the old formula helped me to feel so much better about myself. The new formula also makes me feel more oily quicker and doesn't seem to hold my makeup as well. I am looking for a new primer that compares to the old original formula.
Nooooo!!
I have used this primer for the past 6 years and it WAS amazing. I have ordered 2 separate ones thinking one was bad, but no I think they changed the formula because it is not the same anymore. It now feels oily and does not apply smoothly like before.
I would most definitely buy this product over and over again
I love this mascara, I will not buy any other
Hands down GREAT
This is my favorite stuff. It tops all else that I have tried. I use it alone mostly and it makes my face feel so good. There are a lot of look alikes that don't work so be careful! It's pricey too. It just takes a little.
I was a long time user until now
I have used this product for decades. It was the best on the market until recently. this was my go to never fail item, I am totally disappointed. When the product packaging changed so did the formula. It is now greasy on the skin (even though it proclaims matte finish) and is like all the other pore minimizing primers. I am so upset that I now have to find a product to replace by never fail pore minimizer.
