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: ...

It did not live up to the hype.
I'm glad I only bought a sample. I'm desperately trying to find something to disguise my extremely large (due to genetics) pores.

Pores
I have tried so many different products to hide my large pores that I inherited. I received this product in a subscription box over a year ago and at first I was like this isn't going to be any different than everything else that I have tried. So i gave it a try and AMAZED how well it covered! I followed with my foundation and my face was flawless! This is a must have for me!
I would buy this product again and again!
The best primer ever! I have acne-prone skin, combination of oily (t-zone) and dry (chin area). Also, I have large pores on my nose and cheeks. This product does not break me out and doesn't leave my face oily nor does my foundation (I'm using Huda's Easy Blur) oxidizes. I've been using this product since 2011 and it has never failed me!
Changed Formula
I have been using this primer religiously for years. Since they changed the packaging, it seems that the formula changed as well. Within 1 hour of wearing this formula my face was so greasy and my makeup was sliding off. I didn't do anything differnt with my makeup and continued to try and use it, but it kept happening. Thankfully went back to the store and they had the old packaging but it came with the benefit pore moisturizer so i had to pay more than I would with just the primer, but it was worth it. Once i switched back, my makeup went back to normal!
