Blurs well
I did like this primer however sometimes I did find it peeled slightly around the eyes with my favourite concealer and foundation so personally I wouldn't buy again

Disappointed - loved the old Hydrate formula
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.

Defective product/bad customer service
Ordered during a promotional online sale, but got wrong one by mistake. I wanted the regular PoreFessional and not the "Lite". Tried it anyway and it doesn't absorb into your skin. It's too dry. It just balls up and flakes right off. I called customer service and wanted to exchange for the regular Pore primer and they said no, I'd have to mail it back at my own expense for refund and then reorder at the regular price, which is double the price I paid. Very unfair.

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.
