The POREfessional primer - matterende pore primer

A Pore-Blurring Classic That Lives Up to the Hype

Benefit’s POREfessional Primer is one of those cult-favorite beauty products that earns its reputation and for good reason. Designed to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, this lightweight, silky balm glides on effortlessly and gives your skin a smooth, almost airbrushed finish. What I love most is how it instantly blurs pores without feeling heavy or greasy. It’s oil-free and has a slight tint, which blends seamlessly into most skin tones. Whether worn alone or under makeup, it creates a soft-focus effect that helps foundation stay put for hours, even in warm weather. The texture is velvety ,not overly silicone-y like some primers and it works well on both dry and oily areas. I also appreciate that it doesn’t clog pores or trigger breakouts, which is always a risk with pore-filling products. Pros: ✔️ Instantly blurs pores and fine lines ✔️ Lightweight, non-greasy formula ✔️ Extends makeup wear ✔️ Works well for most skin types Cons: ❌ Pricey for the amount you get ❌ May not be hydrating enough for very dry skin Verdict: If you struggle with visible pores or want your foundation to go on smoother and last longer, Benefit’s POREfessional is a solid investment. A little goes a long way, and it genuinely delivers on its promise. It’s a makeup bag essential especially for big events, photoshoots, or long days when you need your skin to behave.

allergic reaction

well I got this as a sample, and I used it once for a dance I went to. I loved how it felt, and it made my makeup go on nicely. however, half way through the night I started to get an allergic reaction☹️☹️ still don’t know what from

I've been using this product for years, but I recently decided to change to the more hydrating version since this version became too dry for my skin and started to cause a weird texture, especially during winter.

LOVE IT!

I received this as a sample (thank you Sephora) and LOVED IT…..had to purchase it. I am 65 and here’s a pic of just doing my makeup for the day and yes used POREfessional primer.

Amazing product. So smooth and light so feels like you are wearing nothing. I would highly recommend this product for all skin types

Fantastic product! Makes makeup go on super smooth without drying it out.

Beauty Constant

Absolutely the only primer I will use. It goes on smooth and makes my face feel amazing.

Very good

Nice

Broke me out and clogged my pores. Would not recommend. Scars lasted a whole month.

Staying power

This is the only primer with staying power for my skin. Applied after cleansing and let my moisturiser and serum settle on my face usually about 10 mins before applying the primer and my skin is ready for my foundation, even a powder foundation, it’s just got that ability to hold on to my foundation for several hours. If I put it on straight after moisturiser it loses a bit of staying power. Waiting about 10 mins before applying just works for me, I have tried so many but return to benefit primer every time. Works great for me!

My holy grail

I have a very oily T-zone. I’ve tried other primers but I always go back to this one. Will keep you matte all day.

Gotta have it!

Best pore minimizer ever! It goes on so smooth and light but minimizes my pores so well. I wear this even when I don’t wear makeup and looks great too!
