Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works perfectly! Love this primer. Really smooths out my skin and minimizes the appearance of my pores.
Date published: 2020-11-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best primer I’ve tried I bought this after Jeffree Star reviewed it. It’s awesome! My makeup no longer cakes and my pores disappear! I go through it pretty fast but you can’t beat the price for a primer that works so well and I’ve tried some that cost 5 times as much!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nice This primer makes my skin looks very smooth, love it!
Date published: 2020-11-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product I love this primer. It glides onto my skin beautifully and it does fill in my pores and goes by cling to my dry patches. I’ve not had any problems when applying foundation over the top. It really is worth the hype!
Date published: 2020-11-26
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Why does everyone love this??? I got this after seeing everyone talk about it on Youtube being a dupe for that super expensive primer. It's so bad?? When I go to set my foundation with powder or bake (doesn't matter how much or little powder I use), it causes all of my foundation to come off with my brush strokes. I've tried it with different foundation/powder/brush combinations and it always does the same. After wearing it for a day, my nose was an oil slick and I had absolutely no foundation left. So bad!
Date published: 2020-11-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by from My holy grail!! I have been using this under my makeup before every application for months now. I adore the way it makes my skin look and feel. I have combination skin that gets pretty dry and flaky throughout the day, but I’ve noticed since using this product that it adds just enough moisture to keep me from flaking. Pairs amazingly with the Flawless Finish Foundation!

What is the difference between the poreless "putty" primer and the poreless primer in the small bottle? Is the putty just basically thicker, like a paste and the other more of a liquid? Which one is better?

Asked by: Anonymous
The Poreless Putty Primer is a paste formula that provides more coverage for all day wear and a flawless finish. The Poreless Primer is a thick liquid consistency.

Is this matte porless primer non comodergenic ?

Asked by: MGaston
We take pride in the fact that our products are designed to help you look and feel your best. e.l.f. strives to select ingredients that are gentle on the skin. While our goal is to create gentle products, everyone is different and some may experience sensitivity to an ingredient or a combination of an ingredient and outside factors. Because we cannot predict how everyone may react, we do not claim that our products are entirely non-comedogenic.
