This is a tad different from the OG. A lot of people don't enjoy the original, because it does not do much for them.
Even I have to apply a hydrating primer all over & then go in with the original version in my t-zone. You also have to pat / press as it has a tendency to ball up.
With the pink version you will find it to be more hydrating and a little less silicony. So, it actually works well by itself and applies & spreads out much easier.
It does have a brightening effect, so women of colour beware if you are going to wear this without makeup - it will make you look ashy.
I really enjoy & recommend this one!

Absolutely an incredible primer! It makes all your pores disappear, it’s like a new smooth layer of skin! Really helps blend out foundation and helps your makeup stay on for longer.
Definitely worth the price and would recommend to anyone!

What a star. You can instantly see your pores disappear. Just swatching it on your hands makes you want to use it as a hand cream, it does THAT good a job at filling in fine lines and pores. Silicon based, so be careful if that irritates your skin.

As someone who has enlarged pores using this product has been a game changer for me. This completely covers and fills my pores making them invisible underneath foundation.

This product simply does what it says.
Hides pores and wrinkles meticulously.
However I found dupes that work almost as well for everyday make - up. I use this product when I'm going out for special occasions and for shoots when there's harsh lighting and long hours.
Dupes are Smashbox (very good) and Maybelline (good) primers which you can touch up with NYX Mattifying spray or matting sheets.

I initially recieved this product as a sample and was so impressed that I purchased a full size.
It helps to minimize the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin, used under or over makeup. It is not a primer but merely a balm. It is silicone based.

I watch a lot of American beauty you tubers and they rave over benefit cosmetics so when it was finally in South African store i had to try their products. It most obvious product on the top of my list was the porefessional primer. Initially i thought the price was too steep for the amount of product and the product in general but once i tried, it all made sense haha, its totally worth it.

Benefit is one cool brand. The packaging of this cult product is so cute and so funky! The product itself speaks volumes! A little bit of this magic potion is enough to create a silky smooth canvas! Pores disappear like magjc( really!). And your foundation truly lasts longer! The key to flawless I say! Love!

I received a sample from BB to test. I must say I have tried a lot of primers and Benefit The Porefessional is definitely a winner. It provides the perfect canvas for foundation and my makeup did not budge the entire day even in Durban's heat, was no need for touch ups! It is pricey but I would say definitely worth the investment. Fantastic product!

I have recently had the pleasure of testing this wonderful little product.
As we all know... buying and trying new products to find the perfect one can become costly. (R125 for a 7.5ml tube).
At Benefit, you can buy a small tube at a fraction of the price. You only need a pea size amount, so the tube last you quite a while. The cream is a bit thick, however it feels smooth on your skin. Allowing you to apply you foundation over it without a "cakey" feeling.
I believe it is a "must have" for any make-up user. Love this!

I've tried so many face primers that it scares me. I was a little scared to try the Porefessional out, despite the good reviews, as I've been let down by so many primers in the past.
I found out that the Benefit stands actually sell a smaller tube than the regular size - ir's 7.5ml for R125, which is pretty reasonable, as you only need a tiny amount for it to work.
It's a sort of nude-y colour, and quite thick, and I smoothed it onto my skin, concentrating on the problem areas where I have larger pores, or where my skin starts to shine during the day.
My makeup went over the primer so flawlessly, and lasted so so well throughout the day. To top this off, my skin looked airbrushed and so smooth and even!
This stuff is just as good as all the reviews make it out to be, if not better. I'm now an addict, and will be purchasing a full size tube when I've finished this one.

This gorgeously silky smooth cream is a little miracle-worker! It has a light beigy-caramel colour that seems to just blend with any complexion. It smooths over enlarged pores and seems to fill them in leaving a smooth canvas on which my foundation just melded with so effortlessly. It has a very faint fragrance and the cream most definitely allows make-up to set much better and it seems to also prevent oiliness of the face under the make-up even at the end of the day. I had no idea that this product was a primer, as I have never used a primer before, bar one day which was my wedding day. This product is something that I will definitely purchase on a continual basis. You don't need to use a lot as a small blob on the tip of the finger can cover an entire cheek ensuring perfect coverage. I am very impressed with this fabulous product and my make-up has never looked more professional thanks to this lovely cream.

I got sent a sample of this to try and boy am I happy I did!! This is by far the best primer I have tried. It has a velvet feel once applied to your skin which I absolutely love. I have a combination type skin and by 10am I am extremely shiny. The first day I used this I noticed such a difference in the shine to my face. I didn't have to blot the whole day. I would definitely purchase this and recommend it to my friends.

I couldn't contain my excitement when I received my Benefit samples to review, I looooove this brand!!!! The porefessional does not disappoint, it has a luxurious silky texture that glides onto the skin and reveals a perfect canvas that prepares the skin for foundation. It also allows for foundation application to be much easier I find. Now that I have reviewed it I will save my sample for special occasions :) Thank you Benefit and Beauty Bulletin!

An absolute winner in effectively reducing the appearance of pores and priming skin! Pores are visibly filled after application, and my skin texture appears smoother and less uneven. Make up lasts longer and doesn't set into lines and creases!
The initial reaction when applying this product was "WOW!" - my skin felt so smooth. The smell, slightly fruity, was subtle yet left me feeling refreshed.
I love a product that lives up to its promises: It really is oil-free, lightweight, translucent and silky!
