I've never bought a full size tube of this primer for plenty of reasons. This primer is only good for a few hours on my skin. Typically most mattifyng primers last about 3 hours, this one lasts...

I do not have a lot of pores so this review might be reliable to a certain extent. My only POREblem is my nose area. With this little guy, I managed to cover those pores and I really love how...

I got two deluxe samples of this and I am really displeased. Makeup stayed true for a few hours at best, pore and fine lines were still visible. Too mediocre for the money.

I tried this out in one of the mini tubes and I'm glad I did instead of buying the big tube! The consistency is like a thick paste, and is relatively easy to apply. It has a very distinct silicone...

This just didn't work for ME personally. I got a sample of it from Sephora a while back, but was trying out a new facial cleanser at the time that really dried out my skin. So when my makeup looked...

Okay so this kind of product that makes you think: "hmmm was it really worth buying this?" Honestly, it's an alright primer. It smooths the face, fills in the pores.. it does what it claims. It...

Did nothing for my pores, melted into skin and only worsened my already oily skin.

It doesn't do anything to my pores and sometimes makes my face feels dry and hot. Don't like the texture and still makes my face shine at the end of the day

I bought this as a cheaper alternative to Smashbox's pore minimizing primer. It has a strong scent, but I actually really like it. Some may not, however. It does help with pores, but I'm putting...

I used to use this primer all the time because it was the only primer my mom bought and I'd borrow it from her whenever I'd wear makeup. And after I ran out of my Marc Jacobs primer, I couldn't...

I know it works for some one, but for me it does not work out well. I have normal to dry skin, it makes my skin look even drier. My make up looks like a mess over this primer

Pros: I have sensitive, oily, acne prone skin. This did not irritate or break me out. Cons: However, it did nothing to minimize my pores or reduce oiliness. My t-zone was more oily than usual...

I have gotten many samples of this from sephora including a large tube and it's just too greasy for me. Doesn't help minimize the look of my large pores very much (if at all) and my makeup slides...

Did absolutely nothing at all to my pores and didn't keep my make up on any longer than it lasts without it. I ended up throwing it away

I love this product because it makes my foundation go on so much more smoothly and evenly! A little of this goes a really long way, so I can justify spending what I do for it. It smells...

I'm in love with this primer. It does exactly what I need it to do. My skin feels so soft, my pores are significantly minimized, and my makeup remains fresh looking all day long. I have picky skin,...

You can see the immediately smoothing effect of this primer once you apply it on the skin. It has a slip to it and does a great job of blurring pores, but it also clogs them. I bought a full-sized...

I bought the travel sized to try and the first time I used it, I liked it just okay. I didn't notice any smoothing, but it did create a decent barrier for my foundation (which was why I bought it)....
