Benefit The POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel Review

Hi My Angels,

Recently, when I bought the Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Face Primer from Sephora in Singapore, the store suggested I try the Benefit The POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel before applying the primer, for a matte finish. So I've been using this tiny gel for about a month now, and today I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on it.

My Experience With Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel:

During my visit to Sephora Singapore this year, I headed straight to the Benefit counter because I was already a huge fan of the Benefit POREfessional Primer. I asked the beauty consultant for the primer, and she recommended that I apply the Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel before using the primer. She explained that it helps control excess oil, which can cause makeup to break down throughout the day, while creating the perfect matte base for makeup application.

She applied the Matte Rescue Gel on my face, followed by the primer, and I immediately loved the smooth, matte finish. Impressed with the results, I decided to purchase it.

After using it regularly, I can say that the Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel lives up to its claims. It effectively controls excess oil and leaves the skin feeling smooth, soft, and shine-free. It creates an excellent base for primer and foundation, helping makeup apply more evenly and last longer throughout the day. If you have oily or combination skin, this gel is a great addition to your makeup routine.

The Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel has a lightweight, gel-like consistency that spreads easily over the skin. A small amount is enough to cover the entire face. After applying the gel, I follow it with a primer, and together they create a smooth, velvety matte base for makeup.

The gel instantly minimizes the appearance of pores, absorbs excess oil, and leaves the skin looking fresh and shine-free. Despite its mattifying effect, it doesn't make my skin feel dry. Instead, it provides light hydration and has a refreshing citrus-like fragrance.

However, the biggest drawback is its longevity. On my skin, the matte finish lasts for only 2–3 hours, after which oil starts to appear again. Considering its premium price, I expected the oil-control effect to last much longer. While it performs well initially, the short wear time makes it somewhat disappointing for the price.

Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel 

What I Liked About Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel:

• Packaging
• Instant matte finish
• Light Hydration to skin

What I Didn't Liked About Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel:

• Staying period is less
• Price is higher side

Rating:

3/5

KaurzScoops Recommendations:

No, I'll not buy it again as per price range its not working on my skin type.

Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Face Primer Review

BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer Review

Hi My Angels,

I'll admit it — I was completely swayed by a YouTube video raving about the Benefit primer. The hype got so deep into my head that when I finally landed in Singapore this year, the very first thing I picked up at Sephora was the BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer. No skincare, no makeup — just this primer, straight off my wishlist.

Before this, my go-to was the L'Oreal Paris Face Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer, which had served me well enough. But curiosity (and let's be honest, a little bit of FOMO) got the better of me.

Now that I've put the Benefit pore minimizer through its paces over several uses, I think it's finally time to share my honest thoughts. So let's dive in...

  BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer

Product Says:

WHY WE LOVE IT

Pores...now you see ‘em, now you don’t!

Quickly minimize the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin! Apply this silky, lightweight balm alone, under or over makeup. The translucent formula contains a vitamin E derivative known to protect skin from free radicals.

• Oil-free

Quickly minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines and help makeup stay put with this priming phenomenon. The silky and lightweight formula can be worn under makeup to create a smoother-than-smooth canvas or used throughout the day to mattify shine and touch up problem areas. It’s so translucent, no one will know you’re wearing anything! 

What else you need to know:

The oil-free formula contains vitamin E, which is known to protect skin from free radicals.

Suggested Usage:

-To prime in the morning, apply a thin layer to moisturized skin from the center of the face outward. Wait a few seconds and apply makeup as usual or wear alone.

-To touch up over makeup, pat delicately on problem areas and blend. A little goes a long way.

-To smooth and brighten, layer the over "That Gal" Brightening Face Primer (sold separately).

- To help foundation stay put, always start with the POREfessional. Then blend Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow (sold separately) from the center of the face, out.

-To spot-conceal, apply the POREfessional over blemishes, then blend Boi-ing (sold separately) on top.

- For a photo-ready look, prime face with the POREfessional to minimize the look of pores and mattify skin. Apply your favorite Benefit makeup products, and then reapply the POREfessional. 

Precautions:

-Please read the ingredient list on the packaging of your product to be sure that the ingredients are appropriate for your personal use.

My Experience with   BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer:

I was using the L'Oreal Paris Face Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer before this, but after hearing so many glowing reviews about the Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Face Primer, I couldn't resist wanting to try it for myself. So when I visited Singapore this year and walked into Sephora, picking up this cutely packaged primer felt like a dream come true.

  BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer

Once I'm done cleansing and moisturizing, applying primer is my next step. Now let's talk texture — it's incredibly smooth, almost silky. Once applied, your foundation just glides on effortlessly. It smooths out the skin's texture so well that your foundation settles in beautifully, without any struggle at all.

After applying it, my skin genuinely feels like a feather touch — that's how light it feels. Now, coming to the pore-minimizing claim — for my skin type, it works to about 70%. It doesn't completely hide the pores the way I'd hoped after watching so many rave reviews about it. And after 2-3 hours, the pores start becoming visible again.

So, based on my experience, it does an excellent job of smoothing out the skin texture and making foundation application easier. But if you're expecting it to completely hide your pores, it doesn't quite deliver that for me — and considering the price, that was a bit disappointing. So in my honest opinion, if you're looking for a primer that completely conceals pores, this one might not be the right fit for you.

  BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer

What I Like About  BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer:

• Packaging
• Light Weight
• Travel Friendly
• Smooth  Skin Texture
• Soft skin texture

What I didn't Like About   BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer:

• Doesn't hide pores completely
• Price

Rating:

3.5/5

KaurzScoops Recommendations:

No, Because my concern was my pores to hide but it doesn't worked on 100% on it so no I'll not buy it .
