Pore-Minimizing Hydrating Primers

Benefit Cosmetics' Newest POREfessional Primer Tackles Dryness

While Benefit Cosmetics fans know the POREfessional Pore Primer for its mattifying properties and the brightening POREfessional Pearl Primer, the brand is now introducing a third formula that takes the form of a hydrating primer. The POREfessional: Hydrate Primer helps to minimize the look of pores and fine lines, all the while tackling dryness and creating a smooth canvas so that makeup can be applied.

The product boasts the same lightweight and oil-free formula as ever, yet differs from the other previously introduced POREfessional products with ingredients like moisturizing shea butter and hyaluronic acid to attract moisture. The product is capable of providing long-lasting 12-hour hydration.

Increasingly, makeup products are becoming more skincare-like and useful for addressing common skin concerns such as dryness.
