Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Review

Hello Guys!

First of all I wanted to say that I’ve been looking for this product for so long! I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about this product that’s why I wanted to try it for myself. My skin has oily-combination to start with that’s why I am looking for a primer that will help my foundation last longer. Considering the climate here in the Philippines which is way too humid, I think a primer would be a big help especially for those who has oily skin.

I picked this product last Tuesday at a local drugstore. Thank God they already have this one. I think it’s been out in the market for quite a while now. Funny how outdated our local drugstores are. Boo! This product retails for 239 Philippine Pesos only, one of the cheapest primers I guess.

(Gel-like product in a tube container)
The packaging of this product is so cute. Who wouldn’t want to purchase this super adorable tube? The tube is hygienic and very functional too. It will give you enough amount with just one little squeeze without contaminating the rest of the product inside the tube. How convenient!

My Personal Experience
I ran a quick swatch of the product right when I came home, and this is what it looks like when I put it on my hand.

(You can see a little difference in my hands. The pores in my hand which i have the product on is a bit smoother than the hand without the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser)
I like how velvety it feels when you touch it. It does minimize your pores but not to the extent that its pore-less. It’s so smooth and it doesn’t have any obnoxious smell on it. I tried it on my face the other day since you cannot really tell if the product works by just swatch-ing it in your hand, I decided to use it as a primer then. I put my moisturizer on and wait for it to dry before I put the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser on. I applied it to the areas where my oil usually sips through. I put it on my T-Zone to be exact and finished the rest of my make-up. It did make my foundation glide on smoothly. It didn’t make my face totally matte though because I can still see the shine on my forehead and on my cheeks. But maybe my face is just so oily, you know?

I’ve been out for almost 4 hours in a very hot weather and my face feels oily. I decided to go to the nearest wash room to check my face and I was very shocked with how I look. I look like a walking grease ball! HAHAHAHA! and you can see the oil running on the side of my nose and a new zit on my right cheek. How gross is that? LOL! Good thing I have my facial tissue and powder with me.
Maybe I will recommend this product for dry to normal skin because it doesn’t control the oil. I used it for more or less 4 hours and the oil in my T-Zone was just amazing. If you have oily to combination skin, stay away from this product, it will just make you oil more.

Will I purchase this product again?

-NO. Maybe this product isn’t just for me. It doesn’t leave up to what it says on the packaging. It does give you a smooth canvass for foundation but it makes you oil up like crazy, and the worst part is that it gave me zits. So sad.
I hope this review helped you. I’ll see you in the next! Bye :)

Love,
Changee <3
