Clogs your pores and does nothing to matify the skin. Feels light and absorbs quickly, but does not control oil. Will not recommend or repurchase.

I have oily skin and big pores, especially my cheeks. This primer is lightweight and absorbes into my skin fast. I like that. I don’t think it does the best job of keeping shine away, but I also...

Luckily, I bought the mini size of this primer just to try it out, instead of spending the full $28. The quality is just average, it's nothing to obsess over. It does an okay job at making the skin...

I wanted to like this so badly. I received it as a gift and I adore both the packaging and Benefit in general, so I was expecting that I’d love this stuff as well. Sadly that is not the case. I...

I live in the Caribbean where it's very hot and humid. I used to use the MAC Prep and Prime but this works better for me. It feels cool and fresh and keeps my face less shiny for longer (as in...

I'm super oily and this clogged my pores. I tried with high end and drugstore foundation and didn't work. The oil appeared in less than an hour. I bought the bigger size and I feel is worthless....

I have big pores and oily skin, so this product should be my HG primer! Nope. My skin transcends what's normally considered 'oily' and turns into 'did BP have another spill on your face?', and my...

So this product did a decent job at keeping my t-zone matte. This primer added unwanted texture to my foundation and did not fill my pores in at all. It did keep the makeup from settling into my...

I may be one of the few to dislike this product. I have very oily skin and large pores, and it does nothing to either one. It keeps me matte for maybe an hour, but the oil always get through. The...

The primer goes on smooth and silky and leaves and incredibly soft feel that is lightweight and airy. It is great primer to set your regular makeup for every day use. The price is mid range to high...

Broke out like crazy. If you're not prone to acne, this would definitely help control your oil control for a few hours. I have an oily t-zone and it definitely helped the shine-ness. However, I...

I kinda like this primer for the natural finish it gives my foundation. It minimizes pores enough and it's not matte enough but it stops my foundation from seperating and it provides a beautiful...

I'd recommend purchasing the sample size as it comes with so much product I doubt you'd run through within 6 months. I use this every day and it works great. That being said it's winter where I am...
