Feels silky, maybe as a stand alone product

Overall I found no benefit to this Benefits product! Although I loved how silky it felt as I was applying it, the product sort of "balled up" and looked dry until it was really worked in. My skin did not look any more uniformed than it is (not overly!) and my foundation/ cover up does not last any longer or stay put any better. I will not purchase this product again, I like the Smashbox or clinique primer lines much better!

Not effective

I was truly excited when I heard about this product as I have extremely oily skin. I was left disappointed as I don’t feel like this made any difference in getting rid of my oiliness. The texture is very thin and absorbed well enough into the skin, but it just did not help in reducing my oil. The one thing that I really did like was the smell, but unfortunately due to the product not producing the matte effect as advertised, I will not be repurchasing.

wanted to love

I really wanted to love this primer, as I love other benefit products. My initial impression was good...I liked that the product was slightly tinted, It applied smoothly, and made my skin feel smooth and appear slightly blurred...but that's about all it has going for it. The product pilled and rolled on my skin, no matter what combination of clean skin, moisturizers or serums I tried. It also did not make my make up last. At this price point, it is hardly worth it.

Very oily.

If you have oily skin, I definitely do not recommend this. The primer is good at what it is meant to do - making an even surface for your makeup to be applied on, and filling in your pores, but other than that it doesn't have anything extra goin' for it. The primer is very oily so with wear it makes my makeup begin to separate. This makes me sad cause I did really want to love it as you only need a little because it goes a long way but I just couldn't do it.

Unsure..

I have mixed feelings about this product! I have been using it for over half a year and still cannot tell if it is worth the hype. I am not a fan of the texture of the product, it doesn't feel very creamy or soft compared to other primers. I also find that if I use this on a dry patch of my skin it enhances the dryness even more. I do think it minimizes my pores but thats all it really does for me.

This gel product works well to minimize pores however it's not very effective in keeping the skin matte for a long period of time. Even with a setting powder and setting spray, the shine still comes through after a few hours of application.

amazing product if you are a person who has a lot of pores. it is a bit pricey but during Sephora sales, you can always grab one for a couple dollars cheaper!

This primer claims to minimize the looks of pores and create a smooth canvas for your makeup application.it can also be used as a touch up product to mattify shine.

Personally, I did not notice a huge difference in my pores over all. My pores were clearly still very visible after applying this primer and my foundation. It did slightly, create a smoother canvas and made my foundation last well through out the day.

I would not repurchase this again as I do feel there are better primers offered for my skin type, and what it claimed to do did not work for me.

Okay, I like the tint and the texture is comparative to other primers but that is where the comparison ends. I did not feel that it improved the look of my pores if anything my pores were accentuated. Although, it did smooth my skin a little.

The concept of this mattifying gel is awesome. However, I don't see any difference between it and the Porefessional Primer. It is basically the same consistency and colour. It works just like the primer in my opinion. I would just buy the primer and use it throughout the day to nix shine if needed. Just seems like an unnecessary product.
