Did you know that we have around 20,000 pores on our face? It was therefore high time for a brand to launch a skincare range dedicated to the fight against blackheads and to improve the appearance of pores on the face… In 2010, Benefit created a buzz by launching the famous “POREfessional “. A blurring primer capable of smoothing the pores and surface of the skin to best accommodate foundation and powders on the face. Faced with the success of this product, which has sold more than 40 million copies to date, the famous American brand has decided to deepen its work on pores, a rather neglected problem in the world of cosmetics.
Maggie Ford, daughter of one of the brand’s founders, explains to us that the research and development of this range results from the demands of the brand’s consumers: “We have always been and always will be a make-up brand, but with the success of the Porefessional base over the years, we have understood that the beauty of our consumers’ skin is important. We have thousands of beauticians all over the world and we listened to their feedback from consumers. Many of them asked for tips or advice to hide pores even more”.
Thus, after five long years of research, the brand has just launched an entire range of treatments called “Pore Care”, the very first collection of products dedicated to pores! We remind you that taking care of your pores is essential because, when they are clogged, they most often turn into blackheads or acne pimples, and can also have an impact on the skin texture, which becomes rough. and less bright.
“The cosmetics industry likes to separate skincare from make-up, but consumers think about their face globally. So our goal is not to do anti-aging or anti-redness skincare, but simply to continue to help our consumers take care of their pores, have beautiful skin and be ready for the makeup stage. … or not.“
