What has my experience with the product been like?
Honestly if I feel like it would've been more accurate to refer to this primer as both priming and hydrating rather than pore-perfecting. Although not always the case, I'm sure many of us, when we read that a product is meant to address some kind of pore issue, we tend to think of it as being geared for an oily skin-type and therefore expect the product to be mattifying or to somehow exacerbate dryness issues... or be friendly for oily skin. Now I, personally, wouldn't suggest this for someone whose skin is very oily because I feel like both the texture and ingredients included herein would exacerbate their oiliness.
Now I will say, for me personally, I am dry and I didn't find that this dried me out in any way. I would describe the finish of this as being natural - in that it looks like healthy skin - rather than matte (wherein it would look flat). It keeps my makeup on well and makes my skin look smoother. That said, I personally wouldn't purchase this because I prefer a lightweight, more lotion-like or watery texture to my primers. This definitely creates the feeling of there being product on your skin.
