Review: I guess my skin would be described as normal/dry but not dry in the sense of like patches of dry skin - I'm going to describe my skin type in case it helps anyone else thinking of trying this. I guess my skin would be described as normal/dry but not dry in the sense of like patches of dry skin...more in that it feels tight a lot of the time so I'm more inclined to describe it as dehydrated. I also have sensitive skin and although I don't suffer from spots or breakouts I will get an odd red blemish if I am sensitive or allergic to an ingredient or product. I'm also in my mid 40's so do have a few wee fine lines so am super careful not to use anything that will settle into them or highlight them. Ok that's out of the way now I really wanted to try this...I have the Benefit Pore Professional and I have read that this is a dupe for that. The BPP works great but I'm not crazy about the price as I wear a full face of make up every day so thought this will be a great cost effective replacement if it works. I have found this also has that silicone feel and a little goes a long way and I have found the best results from this hav been achieved when rather than applying it like a moisturiser I first concentrate on the areas I feel need it first...I have a few enlarged pores around my nose and of course the fine lines around the corners of my eyes so I take a little and press it into these areas gently...sort of like filling in the pores and lines and then blend out from these areas to lightly cover the rest of my face. This method of applying it works so well for me and it does give the impression of blurring out those lines and pores and even before applying my foundation my skin is already looking and feeling smooth. Using this as a base has also cut in half how much foundation I used to apply....instead of 2~3 pumps I only need to use 1~2 at most, foundation applies so beautifully and using this primer I have been able to achieve a flawless and smooth face which is every bit as good as using the BPP. My face looks even and I don't get that tight, dry feeling throughout the day so I think its also helping to lock in my serum and moisturiser. I don't need to touch up during the day and blusher/bronzer are still in place. I'm enjoying this primer very much...if the silicone feel doesn't bother you I'd give it a try if you are thinking about it, just remember a little goes a long way. I'm not sure how this would control oil shine if you have oily skin though...I can imagine it would give some oil control. I have used many primers including Laura mercier, Clarins, BPP, etc and this works brilliantly for me so I'd definitely recommend trying it especially if you have a similar skin type. Hope this helps someone!. :-)
Review: Really good at hiding pores. - This makes my skin feel incredibbly smooth and really gets rid of all of the pores on my face. I even had a friend ask what product I use because of how well it works. It does make your face feel a little greasy but its not a big deal compared to how well it works.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this make skin oily**
A: No! If you are finding it too oily then you are using too much product! I made that mistake when I first used it but you really only need a tiny amount (so it lasts for ages too) and skin really does look better and make up just glides on.

**Q: Does it make pores more obvious when you're not wearing it?**
A: Pores will still be visible... But your skin do feels like a baby skin

**Q: When I first used this it was easy to get it out of the tube. Now its impossible! I have had to cut the top off the dispenser and it still won't exit!**
A: Don’t bother! When I  first used this my face became slightly red and blotchy. I continued with it but on application my face still became red.
By the way I used it sparingly and gently. Have now disposed of it and am
staying with my  “ Gosh “ which I buy online.  Good luck ! Regards.

**Q: Is this water based or oil based?**
A: Silicone based which silicone is an oil so its definitely not water based its not even water soluable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by S***T on 12 March 2025*

I wanted a change from my ordinary brand and the reviews for this are very good. It's affordable enough to try and not worry if it's not ideal. Thankfully it's good! I used a small amount (the tube is small but you really don't need much each time), and apply it, wait a couple of minutes then put foundation on. It helps even pores etc, so you have a smoother finish. No irritation, no mess, no faff. I'm pleased with it so far. If it helps, I'm mid 50s. Happy to recommend.
