    I really like the velvety finish the product gives and the light scent. I think is works well as a primer but cannot say I se any difference in my pore size.

    Doesn't really do anything about the pore size as promised. Neither long term nor the temporary appearance. It is an excellent primer, but the price is little too steep for a primer. It smells...

    HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE HORRIBLEEEEE. This product made me break out SO BAD and my skin is still recovering. This does not minimize your pores, it is useless and a total waste of money

    This is a rather ho-hum product. Doesn’t contain the level of active ingredient to make a difference yet pumped up with silicones. It does however, have minor oil control properties. This is more...
