Birchbox Breakdown

Of all the beauty minefields out there, visible pores are one of the trickiest to dodge. Foundation alone doesn’t do the trick, which is why we turn to this translucent balm to shrink our pores. We can use it as a primer in the mornings or as a touch-up treatment throughout the day. Perfect t-zone, here we come.

How it Works

The silky, oil-free formula diffuses pores and fine lines for an “airbrushed” finish. It goes on sheer, leaving skin even and smooth. Don’t we all love instant gratification?

How to Use

As a primer, apply a fine layer on clean or moisturized skin, starting from the center of your face and working outwards. Pat to blend. Feel free to use for midday touch-ups too — just dab a pea-size amount over your makeup and blend.

worth the $$$

I have used lots of primers over the years (I am a full time makeup artist) and I use this one actually on myself! I like how it feels and definitely notice a difference in the texture of my skin (cheeks) after I apply this and apply my foundation over it. Helps my makeup look great all day too! (I have oily t-zone) Would buy again :)

Smooth and soothing for skin

I feel like this makes my skin super smooth and feels super lightweight and silky. Very luxurious feeling. Love to use this under my foundation or alone.

Minimizes pores and smooths face

It does indeed minimize pores, especially on my nose. And it smells great and goes on smoothly. But it's a pretty small tube for what it costs and I'm not sure it's a better primer than anything else out there.

Great Primer!

I have been using this product for years, and I think it is a fantastic primer to wear under makeup. It goes on smoothly and gives an even skin tone for makeup application. I sometimes even wear it alone without any powder or foundation. Although the cost is high for a small product, it last a LONG time and I would highly recommend!

My #1 Beauty Product

This is my #1 must have beauty product. I love it so much. I don't even care or notice if it shrinks my pores; what I love about it is how well it controls my oily skin. Using just a tiny bit in the morning keeps my face from becoming an oil slick all day and my skin has cleared up because of it. Plus, I can't get enough of the smell. I wish Benefit would bottle this scent so that I can bathe myself in it. Maybe they do?

Pretty Good

This was okay, not remarkable. I prefer one less thing in my morning routine, and this did not present itself as a must have.

Porefessional

This is my new favorite product. I have purchased it numerous times and even given as a gift. Your make up just looks smoother when you use this product. Not greasy.

Amazing product!

I purchased this product not only for my pores but I also have some indented scars from previous facial piercings. This fills everything in and makes a smooth base to apply foundation to without clogging the pores! It's a must-have for me :)

Great primer! No more visible pores!

Fantastic primer -- really erases pores but isn't so thick or slimy that you can't wear foundation over it. I don't use it all over -- mostly on my nose, temples, and below eyes and to the nose. Great texture - and not too thick like L'Oreal or other primers.
