I bought this because it was often compared to Benefit's Porefessional primer. It really does live up to the hype! Both are beige tinted and leave a very soft / silicone feel to the skin. Not sure if it makes a major difference in the longevity of my makeup but it does help fill pores to give a flawless appearance. It has a slightly faint scent that's almost medicinal? (maybe that's just me). Overall for the price you cant go wrong with it!
