    HORRIBLE new formula!

    I agree with all the reviews that say this new formula is horrible! I'd give it a "0" if I could. It's so greasy and thin and accentuates my pores instead of masking them. This used to be my favorite primer and would not go without. I will be looking for another product to replace this if benefit does not bring back the old formula. SO DISAPPOINTED!

    Company confirmed formula changed (not a good change)

    The new formula is terrible. It does not glide on like previous formula - it is gunky and cakey. I tried the product in the new packaging hoping it was just updated packaging. I have been using the original POREfessional pore minimizing primer for YEARS and loved it. The new formula is truly awful. I emailed the company and received this reply, "We'd like to inform you that the product was reformulated to meet beauty industry regulations. We have forwarded your feedback to our product development team for further consideration." If you have used this product prior to new packaging and do not like the new formula - please go to the Benefit cosmetic website and drop them an email. They have got to do better than this garbage replacement!!

    Just right!

    It's summer-time in LA and I needed a primer that can keep up with the heat, the sometime-y marine layer and random humidity while not letting my skin get too oily or too dry. I feel that this does all of the things. It's not too heavy but not too light. I feel that it's sufficient for multiple seasons, but I will say that I have noticed that when it is more humid that my face tends to get a little oily using this product. For reference, I use this with Ilia skin tint or Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and it holds my makeup in place all day while giving my a smooth finish and hiding my large pores.

    What did they do?!?!?!

    Why, why, why did they change this? I have used this product for MANY years. The new formula is very runny/liquid now. Feels oily.The last tube I bought before the new packaging was a bit dryer than normal and "balled up" when applying. Are they having issues getting certain ingredients? So disappointed.

    Never again!

    Nope, not what it's all advertising… I use a pea sized amount in 4 areas, let it set, seen zero minimization of pores at all and when I put on my powered makeup it just piles up all over my face! Very disappointed what a rip off!!

    i would probably buy this again

    It works great at blurring pores and giving me a matte finish on my oily nose. I have been trying primers and this one by far helps my makeup look better and last longer. i'm looking forward to try more products from this line.

    New formula does not work like the original one

    The new formula in the new packaging does not work. It does not cover your pores at all! Please bring back the original formula or I will be trying new brands. Very very disappointed!

    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.
