Q: What’s the original pore concealer? The last one I bought was more like a foundation. Are there two different ones?

    I would but again and again!

    Was recommended by employee because I have oily skin and absolutely love it. Works perfect. Want to just wear alone. Makes skin very soft and smooth no oil.

    Not effective for mature skin

    I bought this with high hopes of reducing pores like it was advertised to do, maybe it's because I'm a senior, but I do have relatively nice skin. I'll be with some enlarged pores around the nose and chin area. I had hoped this would do the trick, but it really did nothing. Maybe it helps the makeup stay fresher a little longer, but that's about it. No help for my pores.

    Can't report ZERO stars; will no longer buy

    ZERO stars! I now hate this product. I've been using this primer for several years, however, something about the formula has changed (was buying vsn in light colored tube vs new aqua tube color redesigned). My process was cleanse, toner, moisturizer, Benefit primer then tinted pressed powder. Results were always satisfactory; many compliments received. Now, same application process but new primer formulation, the primer paste appears to curdle & comes off in clumps all over as I apply the powder. Thinking I did something wrong, I cleanse my face & reapply - same result. Subsequent uses; same problem over & over again. As a result, I will no longer buy/use this product. I'm also returning unused 2nd tube that I had purchased.

    Better than hourglass

    This primer has completely changed how my makeup wears throughout the day. My makeup stays on so much better, and my foundation no longer separates or breaks apart like it used to. My skin looks noticeably smoother and more even once everything is applied. I've used the Hourglass primer before, and honestly, this works even better for me. It creates such a smooth base that makeup glides on effortlessly and stays looking fresh for hours. My face looks more polished overall, and I don't feel the need to touch up as much. This primer is definitely a new favorite in my routine.

    Causes stubborn pimples

    Each time I used this primer it caused really stubborn pimples. Currently, it caused one on my upper lip area. I never get pimples like the ones this product causes and it happens every time I use it under my foundation. I do typically have oily skin. It's just not the best product for my skin.

    Doesn't work for me

    This did not work with my face makeup. I put it on like so and waited for it to dry. I then put on my liquid foundation and I waited until it dried. When I went to put on my blush and bronzer it wiped the coverup off.

    This stuff works great!

    I have pretty oily skin and by noon, I start to shine at work. Using this stuff in the morning before I put on the rest of my makeup has been a savior and I haven't had to do a touch up at work since I started. It also smells good, which I think is great!

    Ok

    This is an okay product. I usually buy the original pore minimizer and I like it much better. This product is a little runny and I'm not sure about it being a "matte" because I use foundation and powder over it.

    My new favorite!

    I have tried many different brands and types of primers and brands over the years (Tula ,mac. Bare minerals etc). This had become my new favorite !! It Left my face feeling very soft and smooth. Great if you love for your face to feel moisturized before you apply makeup.

    Its perfect for blurring pores but dont get it in your eyes

    I used it and immediately noticed my pores blurred. Just dont get it in your eyes because the white part of your eyes will turn red and you'll see your blood vessels BUT I have to admit, after rinsing my eyes with water, it was perfect lol. I still use it every time I do my makeup

    Not for me personally

    I had purchased this during 21DOB due to all the good reviews it had and i had just finished my porefessional one. I have very oily skin and i normally monitor how oily my face gets when i try a new primer. Normally it takes about 3-4 hours. This one only took one! I felt more oilier throughout the day than with any primer I've tried. The texture itself is nice, it just does not last with my skin.
