I really don't care for this product. It doesn't go on smoothly, feels, chalky, and doesn't cover my pores.
Did not like!

Comes out very stiff. Hard to apply.
Maybe it was a bad tube...

I really wanted to like this primer but it feels like nothing and squeezes out horribly. I've lost so much product on my bathroom sink as it comes out in a snake-like form. Wish I tested it at the store before buying it.
Just Okay

I love this primer as it does work to minimize pores, however, it's so difficult to apply! The best way I could describe it is its like putting a thin clay on your face. It bunches up and falls off before you can apply it. Most of the product lands on my vanity vs my face :(
Blurs well

I did like this primer however sometimes I did find it peeled slightly around the eyes with my favourite concealer and foundation so personally I wouldn't buy again
Not good at all.

Not sure if I just purchased a bad batch but it came out very dry & almost crumbly. Could not smooth over my face without it just all falling apart.
Disappointed - loved the old Hydrate formula

These new formulations are so disappointing. I LOVED the old Hydrate formula - it blurred pores and was water-based so worked with my foundation. Now all the new primers are silicone-based other than this one and this doesn't come close to the old Hydrate. The texture is thick and weird and does not blur pores at all.

Would reccomned this primer to my ex best friend, my awful bosses, and my mortal enemies. Great if you want your skin to feel greasy AND dry at the same time! I expected a lot more since I love a lot of benefit products, but this primer is awful. I would give it zero stars if I could. it felt really greasy when forst applied and once foundation and concealer were applied they immediately creased and clung to any dry patches.
It doesn't work

I bought this primer at the recommendation of the ulta girl. Comes out like toothpaste. Does not spread. Crumbles and falls to the ground. Figured i got a bad container. Exchanged it two states away and had the exact same issue. Yet none of the testers have this issue (i checked them). Dont waste your time or money.
i like it

i was looking for a primer that is water based plus acne safe. i agree with all the other reviews that the product comes out like string/very thin but i found that warming it with my fingers before applying works. the best thing about this primer is that it keeps my face matte ALL day! before this primer, i would blot my face several times a day.
Great for large pores

My pores are huge, my skin is oily, and no primer helps… except for the POREfessional Lite Primer! I love wearing it with or without foundation on top.

I have been a loyal Porefessional primer user for over five years and I have many of Benefit's other products. I purchased Porefessional Lite in the regular and mini sizes. It is a waste of money. It squeezes out in a VERY tiny stream and just rolls off my finger onto the floor. When I squeeze it onto a flat surface I have to smush it first and then it pills and falls off when I apply it on my face. When I phoned customer service they acknowledged that this product has this issue. No offer was given to replace the product or to make amends.
