Hydrating? Not at all.
Pore-minimizing? I wish!

This primer doesn't live up to its claims but I'll tell you what it does do. The only thing this primer is good for, is making your makeup adhere longer. It smells terrible, like paint, and it applies very streakily. After handling this primer with my fingers I have to go wash my hands because they feel sticky. But the tackiness of this primer is what helps makeup adhere better. I would not recommend this, you can find better things at the drugstore for your money.
