POREfessional Matte Rescue Invisible-Finish Gel by Benefit

I love this stuff, although a little pricey it is so worth it, it mattifies my skin and keeps it that way for hours, it makes my skin look so smooth, and has a great smell too. Perfect for oily/combination skin !!

✨I received this product in my monthly Birchbox. Being a huge fan of the original Porefessional I was really excited to try this out. Unfortunately I was left feeling disappointed - unlike the original it did not do anything to hide my pores or minimise them in anyway. The formula did not make my skin matte and actually made my skin really oily and gross. The product is very ‘wet’ and there is a very loose consistency to it which feels strange on the skin, don’t really get why it is blue either? 😂 This doesn’t compare to the original at all and that is the one I will be sticking to!

I used this on one or half of my face to see the real difference. It didn't change change the appearance of my pores of shinyness unfortunately. I like how smoothly it glides on and it's a nice base for makeup. Although it isn't as good as the original Porefessional primer so I won't buy again.

This product did absolutely nothing for me, far from minimising pores I felt after applying make up it made them stand out more. Maybe it's just my skin :( very dissapointed in this as I usually love benefits products.

This primer is beautiful! It is so soft and smooth on my skin and keeps my oils on my nose at bay all day! It is just so expensive so I only really use it for weddings etc when I know I'll be wearing my foundation for a long time!

I'm really not impressed by this product, I generally have very shiny oily skin and this seemed to do nothing to combat that shine, when I applied it I felt that it really didn't do much at all! All I can say is it felt nice and refreshing. I don't recommend spending £20 on something just to make your face feel a little refreshed without doing anything.

I have been using this product for around three weeks now. Good points are the texture which is a very smoothing fresh lightweight gel which leaves my skin feeling fresh and hydrated. It has that gorgeous ocean scent like the other benefit skin care items. I'm not so sure that it really reduces my pores as much as it claims. I like it... but don't love it.
