Works great

I did't have high expectations from this primer stick because I have some noticeable larger pores and they are difficult to hide with the best of the best primers to begin with. I bought it because a friend of mine recommended it not so much for reducing pore viability, but for the fact that it was really hydrating and gave her an almost natural look when worn with only BB creme.
For me, if I rub it all over my face and in different directions, also putting a bit on the back of my hand to warm it up a bit, I am able to get the product to actually fill in the large pores and they are pretty much gone, oh and it also reduces the darkness of the freckles that have popped up since I've been in the sun. The primer applies easily, like a silky texture and is translucent, I add setting powder on top and then foundation and there is no chunking or creasing. It also lasts for the day.
This stuff is fantastic, just because a product is cheap, does not mean that it's a dud! Give this a try!
