Clinique Even Better Pore Defying Primer 30ml

Clinique Even Better Pore Defying Primer is a skincare-powered face primer designed to create a smoother-looking, more refined canvas before make-up. The refreshing water-balm texture feels light and comfortable on the skin, helping to blur the look of visible pores while softening excess shine. With niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, the formula helps to support balanced, hydrated skin so foundation and concealer sit more evenly and wear more comfortably throughout the day. Skin is left feeling fresh rather than heavy or coated, making this a useful step for those who like a natural, soft-focus finish.

Suitable for all skin types, including combination and oily complexions, this primer fits neatly between moisturiser and make-up in a daily routine. Apply to clean, moisturised skin before foundation, or wear alone on no-make-up days when a smoother, more polished look is desired. Over time, the formula is designed to help reduce the look of oiliness and promote a more refined-looking texture, supporting a calm, comfortable complexion with regular use.

How to use
How to Use:
Apply to clean, moisturised skin. Smooth a pea-sized amount of Clinique Even Better Pore Defying Primer evenly over the face using fingertips, allowing the water-balm texture to melt into the skin. Wait around one minute for the formula to settle before applying foundation or other make-up, or leave on its own for a softly refined finish.

Frequency:
Use as needed as part of a make-up routine, or according to the product instructions.

Application Technique:
Dispense a small amount onto fingertips, then press and gently smooth over areas where pores and shine are most visible, such as the T-zone, before blending over the rest of the face. Avoid rubbing too vigorously so the primer sits evenly and provides a smooth base for make-up.

Best Practices:
Apply after your usual skincare, including serum and moisturiser, and before SPF and make-up if used in the daytime. Allow each layer to absorb fully and use thin, even layers rather than a thick coat. Store the product closed tightly and away from direct heat or sunlight.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse with water. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and keep out of reach of children. Always follow any additional guidance on the packaging.
