Worth a purchase!
So this is not a miracle worker by any means it's not going to erase your pores magically if that's what you're hoping for but it does smell really good and it does make your make up much more Matt. I applied this before I put on my foundation, but after my moisturizer, let it dry. It has a very sti...

Can't report ZERO stars; will no longer buy
ZERO stars! I now hate this product. I've been using this primer for several years, however, something about the formula has changed (was buying vsn in light colored tube vs new aqua tube color redesigned). My process was cleanse, toner, moisturizer, Benefit primer then tinted pressed powder. Results were always satisfactory; many compliments received. Now, same application process but new primer formulation, the primer paste appears to curdle & comes off in clumps all over as I apply the powder. Thinking I did something wrong, I cleanse my face & reapply - same result. Subsequent uses; same problem over & over again. As a result, I will no longer buy/use this product. I'm also returning unused 2nd tube that I had purchased.
Definitely buy again
Best product for folks with large pores. Only product that actually works.
Better than hourglass
This primer has completely changed how my makeup wears throughout the day. My makeup stays on so much better, and my foundation no longer separates or breaks apart like it used to. My skin looks noticeably smoother and more even once everything is applied. I've used the Hourglass primer before, and honestly, this works even better for me. It creates such a smooth base that makeup glides on effortlessly and stays looking fresh for hours. My face looks more polished overall, and I don't feel the need to touch up as much. This primer is definitely a new favorite in my routine.
Causes stubborn pimples
Each time I used this primer it caused really stubborn pimples. Currently, it caused one on my upper lip area. I never get pimples like the ones this product causes and it happens every time I use it under my foundation. I do typically have oily skin. It's just not the best product for my skin.
Works Great
Super happy with this product. It provided a great base for my makeup and helped keep the shine at bay all day at work.
