During summer I tend to suffer from very oily skin and subsequently large open pores. When I first used this I couldn't stand it: the texture was almost oily and it did NOT conceal any pores whatsoever. So I left it to one side and without realizing forgot to screw the lid back on. Fast forward a few months I re-discovered the tube and thought to give it another go. Fearing it had dried out I applied on my nose where pores are worst, expecting it to be beyond salvation but this is where it gets interesting...due to my accidentally not screwing the lid back on it had changed in consistency and was now much more matte and clay-like. This time around it actually mattified my face and when dabbed on directly onto pores it filled them up very effectively! Now every time I purchase one of these I squeeze it into a pot and leave in front of the window without a lid for 1-2 weeks to let it dry out. After that it's perfect and does the trick for my pores. Just remember to dab/push into pores in order to fill them in. Once I've used up the pot I cut the tube in half and let it dry out too, then I can push the top half down over the bottom half of the tube and it becomes a neat compact primer I can carry around in my bag for touch-ups later in the day (lasts about 8 hours). -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

Did not work for me

Maybe it’s too light, but it was the only option. I’ll stick to my Chanel CC cream since it has better coverage.
Genetics unfortunately blessed me with large pores, so I'm always on the lookout for a product that will help minimize their appearance. This does so, while feeling incredibly light going on as well. It's easy to put on over makeup or to use alone, and does a good job of blurring without being a heavy product that you feel is really filing in your pores with more gunk.
