Makeup doesn’t stick to it. There is some blurring effect but it feels a bit oily. Its performance is definitely not worth $60

Does a good job at smoothing pores, but it does pill some when I use it with certain moisturizers or foundations. Also it doesn’t do a very good job at keeping makeup in place. Would not purchase again.

The new formula is garbage- pills terribly, doesn't blur pores, doesn't mattify, makeup doesn't stick to it at all, and it's been making me break out like crazy. I would argue the promotional material for the new packaging art is genuinely false advertizing- Benefit says it's the same product you "know & love" with a "new look" but it's literally not the same product I have been buying for nearly a decade. If I had known it was a new formula, I would have bought a smaller container and treated it like a new product I was testing out, not gaslit myself for months into thinking it was all user error and I was just having a bad skin phase. I'd give this and the whole company 0 stars if I could.

Do not buy!
So disappointing!! I've used this product for years. Was always my go to primer. You can not use it under your makeup. It rolls off the minute you put any other product over the top of it.

New formula has broken my heart
I’ve been using this primer for 10 years, but now have to look for something new for my routine. The new formula is difficult to put on, it pills when I try to spread on my face and somehow also just feels like a layer of grease and does not blur pores at all. I hate it and am heart broken my previous favorite product is absolute trash now

Will break you out
Since Covid when I got serious about skincare, I never break out, but this product has me broken out so bad. I bought it on a whim because I ran out of my regular primer while on vacation but it was a terrible mistake. Worst breakout I’ve had in a decade.

New formula is so so bad
I’ve been using this primer for nearly a decade and I’m not kidding when I say it’s been an absolute staple in my makeup routine throughout. The last few months I’ve been gaslighting myself into thinking my skin was just extra oily but I finally narrowed it down to this primer and confirmed it was reformulated recently. Based on these reviews and various online forums it’s fair to say the reformulation has been a flop. My makeup is literally sliding down my face by midday even with setting spray. My heart is truly broken by this and I’ll be on the hunt for a new go-to primer now. 💔

A staple
This is the primer I wish I found a long time ago. I have aging skin, work in a sweaty humid environment, and am not prone to breakouts. A little product goes a long way and keeps my makeup from sinking into my old pores. After my shift my makeup looks fresh
