Works well

Meg

It gives a good finish to my face, blurs the pores and hides blemishes. I would often go without foundation with this one and it works well

I really wanted to like this primer. I heard so many reviews before buying the little sample to try and every one loved it. However, I did not like this primer ...
  1. Handy Mini

    TilleyLamp

    The Benefit Porefessional Primer delivers as promised - poreless mattified blurred canvas. A great base for foundation. The travel size is handy for a weekend away but would recommend the full size over it.
  2. Causes breakouts

    Lily

    I really wanted to love this product, but I can't because it inevitably gives me pimples.
  3. Works well

    Meg

    It gives a good finish to my face, blurs the pores and hides blemishes. I would often go without foundation with this one and it works well
  4. The best

    Kat

    It covers up the pores in seconds ! A magical primer
  5. Really good

    Kenia

    I was sceptical at first but after reading so many good reviews on the internet I gave it a try. It does the job! I have large pores in my nose and is very annoying seeing how they start to appear after a few hours of applying my makeup. This primer has helped me to improve the look of my pores and my makeup last longer.
  6. So soft

    M

    This is such a good primer, feels so soft on the skin and makeup goes on flawlessly
  7. Unsure

    Marnjane

    I dont find that it fills in my pore as expected. And peels makeup off
  8. I wish I liked it more

    Immy

    I really wanted to like it but it just wasn't it. Left a super weird finish on my skin and didn't gel with my foundation at all, my foundation separated within 30mins.
  9. Love it!

    Madison (Adore Beauty Staff)

    This has the weirdest texture and I love it!! It's soft and smooth, but also matte at the same time. It does a great job of priming skin before foundation application.
  10. Great mini

    Marianna

    Travel friendly primer . Does a wonderful job in covering pores
  11. Greasy and weird

    Bluebum

    I purchased the full size many years ago,and oh my goodness..I can STILL feel the awful texture between my fingers! It's like if a sponge melted. Then a snail slimed over it. It sat on my pores,and felt so heavy. Those with oily skin,think twice about this.
  12. Don't like

    My least fav from this brand, it pills on my skin.

    It feels up the pores up so well making it flawless. Just a great prep before applying foundation love it
  17. completely understand all the hype

    R

    I bought this after reading articles and reviews about this, I figured I would give it a try myself to see for sure if this was all I had read about. I included this in my makeup routine this one date night and my skin instantly was so much more smoother, pores minimised and I could notice it set the perfect canvas for my next step which was foundation. Throughout the night I had a look in the mir...

  18. Go to primer

    Sandy Shehata

    This primer has been one of my favourites for years! Love how it fills in my pores and creates the best canvas for foundation. I also use it on its own sometimes as it gives such a flawless skin look!
  19. porefessional

    kim

    this primer is really good at smoothing and blurring my skin. It looks perfected and not cakey
  20. Interesting texture

    Claudia

    I like this as pore-filling primer (it does this well), but I don't love the texture - it feels very dry and powdery. I can see how those with oilier skin types would enjoy this but I can definitely agree that it isn't suited for dry skin. I feel like this is one of those primers that you either love or hate, so I'd definitely suggest trying the mini size first.
  21. Excellent primer

    gp

    I have been using Benefit for years and love it. It really does make my pores look smaller and just primes the skin beautifully ready for my foundation.
  22. overall best

    mel

    This primer is BY FAR the best I've used. It smoothens out my scars and acne and leaves me with a face soft as a baby's butt! :) highly reccomend!!
  23. great

    john

    really helps my pores and makes foundation glide on smoothly
  24. Good but not great

    Han

    I liked the product and it smoothed by skin, I just feel as though there are similar products that are cheaper
  25. Silky Smooth

    kumar

    This is a great primer which works really well for concealing pores. It is very natural and feels very light. I use this primer and apply the dandelion blush. My face looks amazing.
  26. Smoothing

    Kath

    This is really nice for smoothing out my pores, but I do find it a little bit slippery if I use too much.
  27. Magic

    Jay

    Nothing makes my pores disappear like this! My favourite primer
  28. Goodbye pores

    Nardia

    This does as promised! I purchased for my nose area and my pores are blurred perfectly! It does get a tad oily by the end of the day...but easily fixed. Works well under makeup.
  29. not for me

    Kylie Deng

    I don't know which step is causing the problem, but when I apply the foundation after the primer it rubs off on me.
  30. So-so

    Dhanoa

    helps with the pores but it is not hydrating at all, it made my makeup look very dry.
  31. Good product

    Jess

    I recently purchased a bunch of Benefit products only to learn afterwards that they test on animals :( a really good product though, hopefully they will stop animal testing
  32. No other competes

    Rachel

    The only primer I need in my life, the way it fills in pores is magical
  33. Nice primer

    Teish

    Really nice product for oily girls! I would only use this in the t zone
  34. Ok but not amazing

    Iryna

    Good at the ‘blurring’ effect but I find this product pills too easily for my liking. Overhyped.
  35. Must have

    Ubu

    Must have in your make up bag to minimise pores before foundation application
  36. Love this!

    Carly

    This is a dream to use - you only need a little for your foundation to glide over the top. I love this
  37. Good to fill in fine lines

    Christina

    Since I have dry skin, I don't use this all over my face, only on my lines so my makeup applies smoothly on top. Has good lasting power.
  38. A little goes a long way

    Tracy

    A little goes a long way because i only need a little on my nose and around my nose where there are pores I need to fill. Also only need a little because if you use too much or on dry skin it ends up peeling like a ball.
  39. Will be getting the bigger size

    Serena

    It is flakey sometimes, haven't been able to find out why yet, but it wasn't bad. I will be getting the same one again, coz it hide pores very well.
  40. super hydrating

    rach

    this feels like silk gliding onto your face absorbs in really nicely and makes makeup sit well
  41. Worked ok, but could be better

    Alex

    Applying this felt good, it gave my skin a super soft feel. However the results were really mixed, and it worked better as a primer than as a pore filler. In some sections of my face I have very dry skin, and it worked quite well on those areas as a primer. In more oily sections of my face, it didn't work at all, and made it feel like my makeup was impossible to apply over the top of it. It also ...

  43. pretty good primer

    jenny

    helps blur pores and nice texture, although doesn’t really help with extending the longevity of makeup
  44. Didn't work for me

    xlily

    I've always heard friends and reviews raving about this product, but I don't think it works for my skin. It feels lovely applying it on, but it doesn't smooth out areas that I would like it to, and it did not respond well when I applied concealer and foundation over it (emphasised all my dry skin and made my pores more obvious). It may be due to being a silicon-based primer and doesn't go well wit...

  46. I really wanted to love it but it was terrible for my skin.

    Jem

    I’d heard good things so really thought this might be the one, but it actually makes my makeup flaky and gross. I have combination skin, oily nose, dry cheeks, but my makeup on both areas flaked. I tried it a number of times with different foundations ranging from Laura Mercier dawn to L’Oréal, mattifying to a normal consistency, but every time the same result. I’m testing a few other primers and ...

  47. Smoothing

    Stella

    This is a good primer that fills in pores and smooths your skin. However, it can feel heavy and probably isn’t good for everyday use.
  48. It really works!

    BK

    The first time I used this product, I was really impressed. It smooths over the pores so they're much less noticeable when applying make up.
  49. Does what it says

    Lucy

    Not super hydrating but does a great job at smoothing skin under foundation. Try to only use when i'm using more make up though as it has silicone in.
  50. Skin feels smooth and silky

    Amy

    i am 30+ with dry skin, feel this primer works for me and not too thick. After applying it, my skin feels more silky and the fine lines are reduced. It does help to minimize the greasy skin after sunscreen and help makeup stay put. Downside is it has poor coverage, to be honest i could not tell if it is working on minimizing the appearance of pores.. Recommend this product overall!
  51. Cult classic

    Amelia

    Fantastic primer, I've been using it for years and it masks the pores on my cheeks/beside my nose perfectly. I only use for special events, I imagine it might be a bit heavy for daily wear.
  52. Love it so far

    Sss

    This product certainly deserved the hype it received. It is one of the best pore filling primers I’ve tried, to date. Noticeable smoothing both on bare skin and under makeup. One star deducted due to product not prolonging the wear of makeup, as claimed. Otherwise, worth a try.
  53. Blurs pores but not much else

    J

    Using this product alone, it does actually reduce the appearance of pores - however once applying foundation over it, my makeup clumped and didn't go on smoothly at all. Throughout the day, it would actually flake off. Also don't think it's good for your skin at all as it literally clogs your pores...
  54. Good primer

    Maddy

    I don't think this particularly good for pores, but is a nice primer. Light in consistency, feels smooth on skin.
  55. great for pores

    aa

    only pore primer that actually works and that fills in pores.
  56. Great for my oily porous skin

    JP

    I'm in my early 40's and this primer is great for my very porous skin. I have large pores on my nose and whilst this primer doesn't perform miracles by making them completely disappear, it does minimise their appearance. It definitely controls shine too. I've found I'm blotting maybe once rather than several times a day.
  57. Not worth the price tag

    Allie

    I used this before I switched to cruelty-free cosmetics. It does an okay job of priming foundation (although not much more effective than sunscreen), and it gives my skin a nice velvety texture, but it doesn't really cover my pores the way elf's Poreless Putty Primer does, which is disappointing since it costs nearly four times as much.
  58. Best primer ever for pores

    Julia Hothersall

    I have quite an oily skin and it is my favourite primer of all times. I always apply it before make up and it stays all day and I don’t have oily problem on T-zone if I use it. It literally makes my pores disappear and the texture is very light and I would say even a bit silky. After I use it all my face look smooth and make up looks flawless if applied after I use it. I also love how velvety my s...

  60. not amazing

    ellis

    this was not very good. Way over priced. Didn't do much to my skin.
  61. don't like it

    Av

    I love almost all Benefit cosmetics products but this I just don't like. This goes gritty when I apply and I have tried using my hands as well as brushes but the texture just doesn't sit right on my skin.
  62. not the best

    anomymous

    not a fan of this product, i feel like it did fill in pores and fine lines i just didn't like the texture of it and feel like ot rubs off easily and didn't make makeup last longer.
  63. Unsure about this primer

    Mon57

    Sometimes I love this primer and sometimes I don't. I feel like it is an amazing pore filling primer but it doesn't make the makeup last too long and it rubs off my nose quite easily.
  64. Great product

    xthutranx

    I actually got this primer not to smooth out my pores but to smooth out my textured oily skin. It defs does do the job, however only giving it 3 stars because I find it doesn't work well with all my foundations.
  65. My all-time favourite

    Jasmine

    This is my favourite primer. It literally makes your pores disappear. Everything looks smoothed over.
  66. blurs my pores

    shaz

    always apply it when I have to wear makeup for a whole day. it blurs my pores and smooth my skin after I apply the foundation. the makeup also last longer.
  67. Hides pores!

    Tara

    Makes any obvious pores impossible!
  68. Good but not good value

    Chiara

    This is a fantastic dupe for Hourglass veil but not worth the cost. It doesn't go very far and I find it overpriced for the amount you get. While it is an effective smoothing and blurring primer, it does little for oiliness or dryness or any kind of makeup longevity- you'd need a great setting spray. I do like it, but I don't recommend it. There are many better than this.
  69. Fave primer

    Anita

    This definitely blurs my pores and worn together with the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation are my holy trail.

    This primer makes your skin feel so velvety and keeps my make up in place all day and night - and I have a slick t zone.
  70. So good

    Lily

    I have very stretched pores and dry skin, and I would even use this daily without makeup, it really feels like its blurred my skin like photoshop. It's a bit pricey but you need a good base to start a makeup routine!
  71. Fills Pores, Doesn't Work With Every Foundation

    Juliet

    I don't know what it is about this primer but not all foundations work with it. Half of my foundations work well with this and it provides a perfect base for underneath and I think it does help smooth out my pores especially on my cheeks and nose and keeps my foundation looking fresh literally all day. But then with other foundations they simply won't stick onto the silicone texture of this primer...

    Joce

    I have very large pores and normal to oily skin with tendencies towards hormonal acne.
    This product feels promising going on but I now realise that it breaks me out every time i use it.
    Generally one day after using this product, I develop tiny pimples or whiteheads, generally where my largest pores are. I double cleanse so I am definitely removing the product but my skin still throws ...

  76. Not great for oily skin

    Emmy

    Not a fan. Although this product on it's own gave the appearance of poreless skin, I found after a short time, my oily skin would be more greasy and my make up would slip and slide all over my face.
  77. Maybe not for problem skin

    Teagan

    I want to love this primer so much but every time I use it I wake up the next day with a few new pimples. Perhaps not ideal for skin easily blocked
  78. Not for oily skin

    K

    This does a good job at filling in pores but makes my oily skin even more oily by the end of the day.
  79. One of the Best Primers

    Maria

    This was one of the best primers I have used, definately long lasting and perfect in the summer time or if you are going to humid areas and you don't want to use an oil blotting sheet constantly. A little goes a long way to make your foundation look flawless.
  80. Fills pores easily

    Hannah P

    I use this product on a lot of clients and it fills pores so easily. The secret is to use a really small amount and press it in with fingers. Overdoing it with too much product will ball-up and not be effective.
  81. Not bad

    Ozzie

    Goes on really well but doesn’t stop the shine on my nose oops!

It really does leave your skin looking airbrushed and ‘blurred’ it has a lovely, light texture that doesn’t even feel like you’re wearing anything at all! I wear alone on weekends for a natural look and under my makeup on work days it...

  83. Airbrush

    Sswain5775

    One word, airbrush. This product really fills in those deep pores giving your make up a perfect finish. I find that using it on the main areas of concern (nose, cheeks and chin) and avoiding more oily areas (forehead) works best.
  84. Magic

    Graciela

    This is the best primer I've used! It's non-greasy/oily. It is easy to apply and doesn't take much! I love the smell- it's simply fresh and clean. As I put it on I definitely see it working as it looks like my face is being airbrushed. Love this product and definitely is a must in your make up routine!
  85. It leaves a thin film and too thick

    Gebi

    I have oily skin and this primer does not help me. Instead, after a few hours I could feel see on some part of my face a thin film start to peel off. Would not repurchase,
  86. Love the finish

    Laura

    Love this primer and the silky smooth finish on my skin. Defs recommend!
  87. made my skin look flawless

    alla

    I really love this primer, helps to blur out the pores around my nose and cheek, however i feel like it got a bit greasy on my forehead because i have oily skin.
  88. Excellent

    Chele Pagno

    This is one of my favourite products by benefit. It really works well on my skin. It feel like velvet and super smooth. Love it!
  89. Love this primer.

    Jess

    This is a great primer. I have dry, sensitive skin which at times can be flaky and this primer creates a super smooth, flawless surface for me to work with. It also helps my makeup stay on for longer. Definite holy grail.
  90. Not sure

    T

    Not bad for my dry areas but a bit heavy for my T-zone. Have to use with another primer to make it work.
  91. Good primer

    Kristy

    I have been using this for a couple of years and it doesn't clog my pores nor make me break out. There's a dupe of this product now and I am tempted to try it but I am a bit of a Benefit fanatic! Highly recommend!
  92. Doesn’t do anything for me

    May

    I feel like I’ve wasted my money on this... it feels like any other primer upon application, a bit more slick and silicone-y. However it does nothing to keep my shine away. Will always go back to The Ordinary and Hourglass primers.
  93. holy grail

    y

    Love this primer! Makes my pores disappear and allows makeup to transfer onto my skin smoothly and softly!
  94. Mattifying primer

    Sarah

    This primer is super good for people with oily skin! It really make the pores look smaller on your face and control the sebum very well!
  95. I love this primer

    charlo

    I really do enjoy the blurring technology in this primer, but it does make my skin feel slippery. Feels a little as if the primer never truely sinks into your skin, but still a wonderful primer for the pores on my nose!!
  96. Very good at masking pores!

    Jen B

    I use this under my foundation & it definitely blurs pores. I love that you can buy a mini tube, as I only use a small amount each day so the mini tube lasts a long time. I have been impressed with all the Benefit products I have used!
  97. Smooths out pores

    Tash

    Really smooths out pores, helps foundation look flawless.
  98. Good Finish for a few hours

    Giorgi

    The primer feels really great on my skin initially, however, throughout the course of the day makes my skin quite oily.
  99. Sadly wasn’t great

    Zoey

    I really wanted this product to work but sadly it didn't. For some reason it made my skin feel terrible and my makeup didn’t apply great, I used it about 5 times before I realised I couldn’t save my makeup when i wore this primer
  100. Prime on the go

    Bri

    Easy primer to use on the go. Great mini version. Love it. Highly recommend even for dry and sensitive skin.
