My absolute go-to
It's smooth, it's soft, it gives a nice finish and makes my makeup last - I first had this as a small one, but then went straight to the large size because I know how much I'll be relying on this. Don't sleep on it.

Amazing
Ive previously used this primer before and I already loved it. I love that it covers up my blemishes and feels so smooth on my skin. I like to wear it under my foundation. Sometimes I top up under my eyes to disguise my wrinkles, which really works for me 😁

Staple in my make up bag
This product is just quite simply my Holy Grail. I fell into the trap of buying primers a few years ago, not really understanding what they did, and also not really getting any visible results. I have large pores, texture and acne scars, and no primer ever seemed to make a difference, so why bother? Then I tried this product and just wow. It doesn't react with any of my other skincare or make-up, a tube lasts a really really long time, it's good value for money, and I can look at my make up 8 hours later, and it still looks beautiful with no visible pores, especially around my nose. This is always going to be a staple in my make-up bag. This product changed my mind about primers.

Great base for make-up
Im 45 - pores are starting to get viable (and make-up can hide in paws) this prevents this, and also banishes a bit of shine.

Not the Same
I have used this primer for years, but the last two orders have been bad. It's like wet clay. So disappointed. I'll have to find a new brand.

I wouldn't buy this product again
It is a good formula but unfortunately didn't work very well on dry skin. Did cover pores but felt dry.

Amazing smoothing primer
I've been testing Benefit's POREfessional Smoothing Face Primer and I have to say, it's surprisingly lightweight but still effective. It feels almost like a silky balm going on, and within seconds my pores and uneven texture look noticeably smoother. I love that it doesn't feel heavy or greasy my makeup sits on top beautifully and I haven't noticed any patchiness even after a long day. It gives my skin a soft, natural finish rather than a flat matte, which keeps my complexion looking fresh. For me, it's become a go-to whenever I want my foundation to look polished without feeling like I'm layering on a lot. Just make sure to prep your skin with moisturiser if you're dry because this primer is all about smoothing rather than hydration. Overall, a solid performer that actually delivers on its blurring promise.

Perfection in a tube!
Absolutely loved this primer- it fully hid my pores and made my make up stay in place all day. The coverage wasn't too heavy and gave a fab blurring effect. This will now be my go to primer from now on as got loads of compliments on how great my skin looked!

A must-have product
A smooth light-weight product to use under make-up. I used it for when I went on a party or wedding. Easily applied & unnoticeable.

Didn't give me the smooth base
Thought it would do more to help my foundation go on nicer.
