Designer Brands Pore Minimising Primer Review

I use this primer a lot, been a staple of mine for some time.

It's a bit heavier than some primers available, but I thats what I like about it. Also it is super easy to apply and spread out. (: I have pretty bad acne in general and a lot of acne scarring on my cheeks- This primer helps to smooth out my big pores and acne scarring, and it makes my skin feel so silky and soft! Feels way nicer than other primers I have tried.

It also seems to help keep my makeup in place for most of the day, even though I have oily skin and my face sweats a lot during summer!

Maybe not necessary for people with great skin, but if you have acne, acne scarring, or large pores, I would defintely recommend you try this! I totally notice the difference.

I was given this for free when I purchased a few products from my local pharmacy, this is something I wouldn't normally purchase as my pores aren't very large. I have a few small pores on the tops of my cheeks that are visible to the eye and a few fine lines under my eyes.

The tube it comes in looks very cheap, I would easily mistake this for something non makeup related if I didn't know, it looks similar to a few glues I have in my craft cupboard.

The formula is very thick, a bit frightening when you first squeeze out the contents, but once it applies on to your face it just melts into your skin. I like to apply this on to the exposed pores and on to the under eyes. It fills the pores quickly and makes the lines under my eyes less visible. I normally use the left over product thats left on my hands to rub over my face. Every where the primer touches it creates this smooth base.

I notice a big difference when applying foundation, it glides on so easily and covers nicely. It helps my makeup stay on all day but I do notice that where Ive applied the majority of the primer (pores and under eyes) it begins to get oily towards the end of the day.

I would repurchase this, I was very surprised with the results. I hope they change the packaging in the future though.

Being that I battle with enlarged pores at times, a pore minimizing primer is essential when i'm wanting to achieve a flawless full faced makeup.

The packaging of this product has changed as to what is pictured here, it now comes in an appealing pretty pale pink tube. This along with the words "Reduce pores & fine lines... Vitamins A, C & E, Aloe vera, Green tea & peptides"... Plus this bargain price point attracted me to this product.

This formula is very thick but spreads out and applies beautifully and provides a very slight dewy glow. It creates a solid barrier between the skin and foundation layer I do believe that it is effective in reducing the look of the size in pores and depth of fine lines.

I'm quite happy with this primer and would consider purchasing again, and would definitely recommend as a budget beauty buy to those with enlarged pore problems.

For the price alone this was awesome. Did what it said, hid my pores . But I'm not sure this is still available? Haven't seen it in a while.

I received this as a free gift from when I used to purchase Designer Brands products due to having no money. I really dislike the packaging as it isn't appealing and very cheap looking. I have found that this is a very different feeling primer as it is quite thick and I am not sure that it is suppose to be like that. I have found that it does apply very easily and evenly. My skin doesn't feel any smoother but this is suppose to be a pore minimising primer and I only apply this on my forehead, chin and nose. I have sadly found that this primer doesn't fill in all my pores. I won't repurchase this product again due to it not filling in my pores.
