Sadly not the same formula
I used this primer for years and the new formula does not blur my pores or acne scars like the old one did. I'm so sad because the old formula helped me to feel so much better about myself. The new formula also makes me feel more oily quicker and doesn't seem to hold my makeup as well. I am looking for a new primer that compares to the old original formula.

Nooooo!!
I have used this primer for the past 6 years and it WAS amazing. I have ordered 2 separate ones thinking one was bad, but no I think they changed the formula because it is not the same anymore. It now feels oily and does not apply smoothly like before.

Hands down GREAT
This is my favorite stuff. It tops all else that I have tried. I use it alone mostly and it makes my face feel so good. There are a lot of look alikes that don't work so be careful! It's pricey too. It just takes a little.

I was a long time user until now
I have used this product for decades. It was the best on the market until recently. this was my go to never fail item, I am totally disappointed. When the product packaging changed so did the formula. It is now greasy on the skin (even though it proclaims matte finish) and is like all the other pore minimizing primers. I am so upset that I now have to find a product to replace by never fail pore minimizer.

It did not live up to the hype.
I'm glad I only bought a sample. I'm desperately trying to find something to disguise my extremely large (due to genetics) pores.

Pores
I have tried so many different products to hide my large pores that I inherited. I received this product in a subscription box over a year ago and at first I was like this isn't going to be any different than everything else that I have tried. So i gave it a try and AMAZED how well it covered! I followed with my foundation and my face was flawless! This is a must have for me!

I would buy this product again and again!
The best primer ever! I have acne-prone skin, combination of oily (t-zone) and dry (chin area). Also, I have large pores on my nose and cheeks. This product does not break me out and doesn't leave my face oily nor does my foundation (I'm using Huda's Easy Blur) oxidizes. I've been using this product since 2011 and it has never failed me!

Changed Formula
I have been using this primer religiously for years. Since they changed the packaging, it seems that the formula changed as well. Within 1 hour of wearing this formula my face was so greasy and my makeup was sliding off. I didn't do anything differnt with my makeup and continued to try and use it, but it kept happening. Thankfully went back to the store and they had the old packaging but it came with the benefit pore moisturizer so i had to pay more than I would with just the primer, but it was worth it. Once i switched back, my makeup went back to normal!

Super soft and creamy
Love this product fr, i swear i should've gotten the whole box of it. It's so soft and creamy, like you cant even tell if you put it on before doing your makeup or anything. Listen to me, buy this and you wont regret it

This stuff works great!
It does what it says. It helps your makeup stay put also. So far, it hasn't clogged my pores.

Not that great
It feels fine but then when applying make up it comes up like dead skin.

Will not buy again
I had used this product for years,I loved it. The new packaging came with a new formula. It is not the same formula and does not hide any pores. I will find a new product that works!

Not good
This was my go to product for years but not anymore. The new formula is awful. It doesn't apply well and clumps on the skin. Will be looking for a something new.

Formula Change
I have been using this product for years but won't be buying anymore. The fomula is different now and I hate it. Please change the formula back to what it used to be.
