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: ...

My fav primer
PLEASE GO BACK TO OLD FORMULA
I have been using this for YEARS. It is the ONLY primer that blurs my pores like I want. I also use it to fill my ice pick scars. I have never been able to find any other product that does this. This new formula is terrible!!! It doesnt blur anything and doesn't fill my scars. I am PANICKING!! It's greasy, cakes up, and rolls into clumps. Not that it will make a difference, but I am going to email them because how much I loved and needed that stuff is that serious for me!
NOT THE SAME!!
HORRIBLE! I have used this porefessional for years. When they changed the packaging, they changed the formula. I agree with every woman who has posted that it is now: thin, greasy, slides off, does not blur and pills terribly. I'm hoping that Benefits sees all these terrible reviews or hears about them and brings back the original product. What a disappointment!!
Porefessional Primer
I thought this was the original matte primer bit it's actually jist the poreless primer. It eneded up being a happy mistake. I prefer this over the oringal matte primer. I apply all my cream liquid, then gently pat a small amount over the areas I want poreless. I then ser woth loose powder abd a puff. It gives me a poreless look with a nice natural finish. It does keep my makeup in place all day, I do have to do the occasional touch up with powder. Doesn't break me out either. Onlt con is I feel like it super expensive so I don't wear it everyday jist for special occasions.
Absolute garbage since the formula changed
This was a great primer before the formula change. It is absolute garbage now it clumps and it takes horribly. I'm looking for a different brand. I would not recommend recommend and will not buy again unless they bring back the old formula. And it is sinful to allow the previous good rating to apply to the new formula in this packaging. I emailed the company and they confirmed with a responding email that it is indeed a new formula.
