Disappointed - loved the old Hydrate formula
2 out of 5 stars

These new formulations are so disappointing. I LOVED the old Hydrate formula - it blurred pores and was water-based so worked with my foundation. Now all the new primers are silicone-based other than this one and this doesn't come close to the old Hydrate. The texture is thick and weird and does not blur pores at all.
Great for large pores

My pores are huge, my skin is oily, and no primer helps... except for the POREfessional Lite Primer! I love wearing it with or without foundation on top.
Waste of money, buyer beware

I have been a loyal Porefessional primer user for over five years and I have many of Benefit's other products. I purchased Porefessional Lite in the regular and mini sizes. It is a waste of money. It squeezes out in a VERY tiny stream and just rolls off my finger onto the floor. When I squeeze it onto a flat surface I have to smush it first and then it pills and falls off when I apply it on my face. When I phoned customer service they acknowledged that this product has this issue. No offer was given to replace the product or to make amends.
It's just okay

It's just okay, doesn't feel as heavy as the original but not worth it for the price point. I'm not sure if the one I got was defective but it came out dry
Works but could use more power

Lite and useful. This primer seems to help my makeup stick but not as long as the others I have tried in the past. I wouldn't repurchase it as it's not worth the price point.
Budget friendly

The texture makes me feel like there isn't a primer there, but there is. I honestly can say this is one of my favorite primers and has great coverage, and the scent isn't strong!
Dried out product, Benefit wouldn't pay return shipping cost

I will never buy anything from Benefit again. They do not stand by the quality of their products. This product was so dried out that it fell off my finger when I squeezed it out of tube. I had to keep picking it up and trying to stick it onto my face, but it kept crumbling and falling off. When I contacted customer support, they told me I could send it back, BUT AT MY EXPENSE.
Amazing for my skin

The product works really well on my skin. It does not feel heavy or greasy, and it provides a seamless coverage while effectively concealing pores. The product lasts at least 4 hours on my skin without any touch-ups. It makes my skin feel comfortable and looks radiant. Highly recommend.
I wanted to love it but . . .

The POREfessional Lite Primer just didn't work for me. This is not tinted like the POREfessional regular and doesn't fill and smooth as well. Also, it caused a little breakout for me. I'll stick with the regular!
It's a crime to not prime!

This primer is perfect! The matte component that keeps you from shining, does that without drying! I never applied powder throughout the day. My foundation stayed put on top of it. Also, the texture feels like silk, very creamy & easy to apply. The tube is such a hygienic plus for me, also making the primer easy to travel with. The price is super reasonable considering the quality. It's a win & a future repurchase for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I once received this product in a VoxBox and let me tell you something. Ever since I received this product, I've been coming back to it. I prefer this one over the other ones because it works amazing with oily skin.

This product makes your makeup look seamless and smooth. It makes foundation look so much better on the skin. It makes my pores look like their not even there.

Love that this is silicone free and water based so the gel is super light. It's able to blur pores effectively and lasts a long time. Since you literally can't feel it on you face, it's perfect for warm weather. Removed a star because it's a little expensive.
Has minimized the size of my pores .

I have large pores and certain makeup settles in them and make them more obvious. This helped to do the opposite. They appeared smaller and was not as conspicuous.
Just NO.

Ugh! awful and I love benefit but this one is a big fail. I hate buying supposedly “good stuff” and then finding out they are even worst than the cheap makeup. It doesn’t go smoothly, it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever, you’ll probably need the whole tube if you actually want to cover your face like it should be, also you are barely putting some and it’s already dry so it doesn’t even give you time to cover the whole area smoothly. It’s a FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Pore Primer Not So Good

I bought this expecting it to be as smooth and effective as the Smashbox primer. I was very disappointed. This didn't go on smooth at all and it felt caked on my skin so I washed it off. I threw away box already otherwise I would return this product.

Love this primer. It fills in your pours and it's very light weight formula. Goes on smooth and fills those pores in just like it says!! I put my make up on after this and worked 12 hours and it still looked good!

Love how this primer feels light on the skin and it water based! One of my favorite primers from benefit and it makes your pores disappear
