How to Use

To use under makeup: Apply to clean, lightly moisturized skin. Pat on problem areas & blend with fingertips.

To use over makeup: Pat on lightly over makeup & blend.

Prime in the AM: Apply a thin layer of this PRO balm to clean, lightly moisturized skin. Pat lightly from the center of the face outward with fingertips. Wait seconds, then apply makeup as usual. Skin appears smooth & even...isn't that what we're all looking for?

Apply whenever pores come out of hiding: If pores reappear, pat delicately on T-zone over makeup & blend. Remember, just a dab'll do ya!

BEAUTY TIP: Apply a thin layer of Benefit's POREfessional Face Primer to clean, moisturized skin. Next, smooth on Benefit's Boi-ing Cakeless Full Coverage Liquid Concealer starting at the outer areas of the nose, moving downward toward the jawline. To avoid cakiness, don't lay it on thick! Finish with Benefit's Hoola Bronzer for complexion perfection!

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 excited that I have it in time for my wedding in 11 days! :)Most Helpful Critical ReviewMore Like Poor-fessionalDon'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 creates a barrier between your skin and your makeup. Cons: 1. It smells gross, 2. it didn't make my pores appear any smaller (and I don't have abnormally small or large pores), 3. very pricey, especially when there are primers that work better at its intended purpose, 4. it felt thick on my skin, even in the recommended pea size amount, and 5. it's so little product for the price, my bottle came unopened but I swear only half of the container was full. So in my experience, yes it works as a basic primer, but it didn't live up to the description of the product, and I'd much rather buy a drugstore primer that reduces the size of my pores, makes my skin matte, reduces redness, lasts longer, and doesn't feel quite so heavy or have an odor.Reviewed by 5086 customersThe BEST5Riley from WiI've tried many primers and this stuff is the absolute best. My makeup stays on all day after I apply this. Goes on smoothlyMy Go To Primer!5Blaklab from Cromwell, CTI was a Lancôme user for many many years and decided to try this primer because it has a bit of tint in it and it's a pore reducer. After I apply my moisturizer, I put this primer on and it keeps my makeup in place perfectly all day long. Definitely a must have for those looking for something to reduce and minimize pores.I would buy this product again5Anita from CastrovilleI really love the difference that it does on my faceNot for me…sadly3Mary from WisconsinI have heard lots of great things about this primer so I got it to try out. It felt like a powder finish when it was dried down. Then every foundation I tried would get flakey and not stick there. Did it fill the pores…yes but in the payout my foundation. Didn't stick either. I have dry skin and it's just not for me as sad as it is. If the foundations would at least stick to then I could go for it because it made my cheeks look flawlessly smooth.Not great2Jacq from Cleveland OhIt does seem to reduce the appearance of pores so that's great. BUT it makes my foundation clump and flake. I do not like the appearance of my skin after.My go to primer5Katy from Lubbock, TXI'm obsessed with this primer, i always use it on my face after washing and moisturizing and it seriously is amazing. I rarely need makeup over it because it does so much to keep my oily skin under control. Absolutely love it and I'll us this and the setting spray after applying my eyeliner and mascara and nothing will budge all day, obsessed!Love5JessLeighC from MaineI just love how my face feels after I use this. Does it extend the life of my foundation? Maybe?Excellent !5Maggie from Forest Park IlI use product on my forehead and smooth laugh linesDON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY2MarinaB from LombardI bought this product due to the high amount of good reviews. It feels really nice on your skin and smells good but once I put my foundation on (Lancome Tiente de Idole) I looked so cakey and patchy! My foundation never did that before. I think this product would be good if it was just worn on its own, but it doesn't do what a primer should do. Will be returningI did not like this as much. Didn't hide my pores4Camry from JaxUse on face before applying makeup. Let dry wellHighly recommend this product !5Nurse Ann from Ky from Ft Mitchell, KySo quick and easy to use alone under a pressed powder or great beautiful coverage under my light foundation ! LOVE IT !!!Perfect for me!5Mikki from Sulphur Springs, TexasI love this primer because it can be used alone, under makeup and I have even used it over foundation! Love the blurring effect!Yes I like the product I5Lori from Pocatello IdahoI use this primer before I put my foundation onThe Best Primer!5Cindy from MississippiI love this primer. It goes on silky smooth and is well worth the price.Made my face look flakey1Maur from njI was so excited for this product. After cleansing my face and doing my usual moisturizer I then applied this product after my moisturizer was all absorbed, then I applied my makeup and it became super cakey and looked like I had super dry skin, I give it a thumbs down! Oh well .. not for everyone.This makes my skin feel smooth. Not heavy at all. .5Maud from IowaUse after moistening.I love this product and cannot go a day without it!5Kathy from ValdostaLove it! Goes on easy!The best primer I've ever used! Love this stuff!5DeeOB from Oak Ridge, TNThis primer is not too thick, goes on smooth with only a hint of tint. I won't buy anything else and haven't since I first tried it 5 yrs ago.I love this product5Heather from LaI put it on before my makeup. Love that it is smooth and blurs everything. Will keep buying this productWould buy again5Mary from TuscaloosaLove itWow4VLNTN from TexasOk so this is definitely worth the hype. I am so shocked and pleasantly surprised that it actually works! The reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars is because I didn't know, but you should exfoliate before use or else you'll get clumps of dead skin as you put the product on. Other than that, I will for sure continue to purchase this.Iwould buy this product again5Martie from Damascus MDLove this productI would buy this product again5Paula from AlabamaMakes my skin smooth lookingMy-Go to primer5Mar from TNLove this primer. Best one I have tried.I have bought this product a few times and will continue to4J'Lynn from Tucson, AZThis product helps minimize pores. Blurs the skin nicely.
