What the gurus are saying

Gurus split on this one. Those who love it praise the whipped texture for filling pores and call it a classic high-end primer, but someone with oily skin found it felt slippery rather than gripping, which means it may not hold makeup as well throughout the day if your skin tends toward shine. Best suited to those with normal to dry skin or if you're after that nostalgic pore-smoothing effect.

"I don't like Porefessional primer on oily skin. I just think it's quite slippery."

"This is one of the very first high-end makeup products I ever tried. It's just one of those classic primers. It's a very interesting whipped pore filling texture. The smell even takes me back, I think it was 2014 that I discovered this product."
