Clinique discontinued Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector and offered this inferior product. The only "pore defying" going on is how this primer defies one's attempts to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. Its predecessor, Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector, virtually "spackled" over pores in the most natural way, as if you were being filmed through gauze. Its velvety, matte finish was the true pore-defying product. I was able to wear the old primer as my only skin makeup. This primer does does absolutely nothing to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. It leaves a sticky finish, even after being allowed to dry for far more time than I am willing to wait. Even Worse (which is what it should be renamed to), its radiant finish HIGHLIGHTS pores ... MoreClinique discontinued Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector and offered this inferior product.

It doesn't even perform as a basic primer because it pills over DDMG and your SPF 50 sunscreen. I don't know what Clinique is doing these days, but please stop "innovating" yourself out of my continued business. I am finding it more challenging to come up with reasons to shop here, after almost 40 years of brand loyalty.

I used to love the prior formula that had tinting in it. It was the best product ever and I absolutely loved it. I could use it alone without make-up and my face looked so smooth. They discontinued that and came out with this. I purchased this new product twice, returning it once thinking that something was wrong with it. The second one I will also be returning. The formula is so dry it won't even rub into my skin. It just clumps on my face and does absolutely nothing for the appearance of my pores. I have tried using very tiny amounts, using lotion first, mixing it with my makeup, everything to make it work, but it still does not rub in well and does not improve the appearance of my pores and it's just way too much work for no results. I'm so disappointed that ... MoreI used to love the prior formula that had tinting in it. It was the best product ever and I absolutely loved it.

I too used the universal primer that was discontinued. I used this and it is MUCH different and better. I'm at phase in my life where I still have oily skin but I'm starting to show age and wrinkle in my forehead. I randomly forgot to use this product one day and started a facetime with my husband. I saw myself, specifically my forehead, and I was surprised at how wrinkly my forehead actually looked. It was embarrassing. I know lighting in a camera can make all the difference so I made sure I put this primer on the next day and facetimed my husband again from the exact same spot and around the same time of day. Well, my forehead was NOT embarrassing that time. I'm paying more attention to it and this stuff really does blur lines and pores and I didn't realize how ... MoreI too used the universal primer that was discontinued.

Annoyingly hard to distribute, i have to massage it in a lot more than other primers that just melt in. When I try to massage it in I notice clumps that just roll around on top of my skin. Eventually I smooth them out but it makes me feel like the primer is not getting distributed evenly. I haven't tried it yet, but putting on while your moisturizer is fresh might help.On the bright side, I have sensitive, combination, acne-prone skin from the devil and this did not irritate my skin or cause the usual itching. Pretty decent at helping with oily areas and no breakouts afterward (I always wash my makeup off). Blurs my huge pores about as well as any other, although Sugar Rush's skin treat is the best so far (makes me break out :( )It works, it's just very annoying ... MoreAnnoyingly hard to distribute, i have to massage it in a lot more than other primers that just melt in.

Very disappointed to find that Pore Refining Solutions has been discontinued from your inventory. Pore Defying Primer is definitely not a replacement for it and I will be returning my recent purchase ASAP. Why in the world would you discontinue such a great product as Pore Refining Solutions and try to replace it with this? I'll bet you never had a complaint with Pore Refining Solutions, but you have many discontent customers such as I with this new Pore Defying Primer. Obviously you and your testers do not have a problem with enlarged pores from acne or other disease which pits the skin or you would know that this Pore Defying Primer does not perform like Pore Refining Solution, which I have used for over 20 years.

Pore Defying Primer does not blend with moisturizers or foundations and in fact, will roll up and have to be removed. Please bring back the original Pore Refining Solution product. It was revised a few years ago with a different formula that didn't work as well as the original, but still got the job done. Pore Defying Primer is useless. I will be trying to find someone who makes a product like Pore Refining Solutions, because at this point you do not have the product that I need.
Positive for product- if you are okay needing a large anount of product and wanting makeup to stick to face this is it. However. Im not looking to be photoshoot ready on the daily. When i used less product my makeup was thick looking in some places and not others. It didnt lay well over moisteruzer. Seemed to really work against skin care. I am old enough now to say less makeup is more suitable. I wanted to hide my eye creases and pores around nose. This just didnt work for my daily no makeup "makeup look". But if i had a photoshoot and was okay piling this on my face then id say its good. If you have heavy acne scars or pores where you dont care how much product you use and you want makeup to last all day looking flawless this does work for that. I'm almost 40 and ... MorePositive for product- if you are okay needing a large anount of product and wanting makeup to stick to face this is it. However.

As usual, the reviews are dominated by individuals who are upset about another product being discontinued. I'm so tired of that. Clinique seems to get that more than any other brand. Anyway, I disregarded the reviews and purchased this recently, and I really like it! Full disclosure, I was never impressed by the previous universal and color correcting primers. They were fine, I usually had a tube kicking around, but they weren't my favorite. This one is nice though. My Even Better Clinical foundation applies flawlessly over this, it blurs my pores well, and my makeup lasts all day with minimal shine - and I have oily skin! Based on its appearance, I thought this might have that thick powdery feel that many primers have and that I hate, but not at all. It's hard to ... MoreAs usual, the reviews are dominated by individuals who are upset about another product being discontinued. I'm so tired of that.

Based on its appearance, I thought this might have that thick powdery feel that many primers have and that I hate, but not at all. It's hard to describe, but it does kind of feel like a burst of cool water before drying down. I use a pea sized amount or less, so this tube will last a long time too. Everyone has their preference, and I like this one, but you may not. But that doesn't make it a bad product, that just makes it not for you.
I have used instant pore perfector for years. I came here to reorder a few items to find out it has been discontinued. That is incredibly frustrating, as there is no comparable item on the market, nor did I plan on searching for one. I like my sunscreen, pore perfector, and bronzer. Despite the bad reviews, I decided to try this and form my own opinion because I needed something. It's not even comparable. It's on its way being returned. My skin looked no different, it didn't sit well with my sunscreen and was just another layer I don't need on my face. The pore perfector allowed me to use it only where needed in small amounts. I'm done with Clinique now, after 20 plus years, they have taken away too many reliable products.
After cleansing my face with Clinique products and using Moisture Surge, at attempted to use this product. It immediately pilled and fell off my face and onto my clothes. My next attemp was to use it before Moisture Surge. While this attempt was somewhat successful, there was still pilling. When I applied Moisture Surge, the rest of the product pilled and fell off.I have been a Clinique customer since before there was internet and I had to drive 40 miles to the nearest store to purchase Clinique. I have used Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector for many years. Because Clinique has discontinued Instant Perfector and they do not listen to their customers, I am now searching for a new product line.
It is important to know that I don't wear foundation; I just wear powder and blush. So whenever I started using this first before applying my powder and blush, I noticed a huge difference! I have larger pores on my cheeks and chin, and this greatly diminishes the appearance of them! Also, I usually would have shine/oil start to appear on my T-zone after several hours of wearing my makeup, and this prevents that from occurring. So while many users are complaining about it not doing what it says it does, I have to disagree, but maybe that's because I never used the old formula so I don't know the difference.It is important to note that this doesn't make a huge difference when you wear it by itself. I think the reason it has made a difference for me is that it makes ... MoreIt is important to know that I don't wear foundation; I just wear powder and blush.
