As a beauty writer, I always try to stay on top of the latest product launches and news. Frankly, this isn’t too hard because I love makeup and skincare products, especially when they come from brands that I already know and love—especially Benefit Cosmetics. On February 14, Benefit expanded its best-selling pore care category by adding several new products to the lineup, from moisturizers to cleansers. The new drop is formulated to give your pores extra TLC by removing congesting impurities and combatting blackheads. If you’re already a fan of Benefit’s POREfessional Primer, then you’ll be obsessed with this new line.
The pore care collection includes six new products available in both mini and full-size versions: two masks, two cleansers, a toner, a moisturizer, and a pore-cleaning tool. The price range falls between $29-$44, and they are all non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested, so you can feel comfortable using them on your skin—even if you’re prone to breakouts or have sensitive skin.
The POREfessional Get Unblocked
After a long day, you’ll want to use this makeup-removing cleansing oil to get your skin back to its normal state, stripping it free from eyeshadow, foundation, concealer, highlighter, and other cosmetics you’ve applied before using a gel cleanser. Unlike most makeup wipes, the product will actually get inside the pores to clear them out to prevent future breakouts.

POREfessional Good Cleanup Cleanser
Regardless of your skincare routine, the first step should always be cleanser (either first or after your oil cleanser, if double-cleansing). Not only does cleanser remove impurities from the pores that have built-up throughout the day (makeup, dead skin, dirt, sebum, etc.), but it also gives your skin a fresh canvas for your serums, moisturizers, and other products. This cleanser lathers into a bubbly foam that deep cleans without over-drying or stripping. Your skin will feel clean and taut—not tight—after you rinse and dry.

POREfessional Tight ’N Toned
If you’ve been battling enlarged pores and don’t feel like cleanser alone is doing the trick, I recommend adding this toner to your lineup. Formulated with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA), Polyhydroxy Acid Gluconolactone (PHA), lemon extract, yuzu extract, bisabolol, and sphingolipids, this toner both exfoliates the skin and tightens pores for a smooth and soft complexion.

POREfessional Deep Retreat
You can’t go wrong with a decongesting face mask, especially one where you can see it’s actually working with oil spots that pop up on the mask as it dries (so satisfying!). This mask will provide a mattifying effect for up to 12 hours afterward, making it great for pre-event prep.

The POREfessional Smooth Sip
To keep pores clean and clear while nourishing the skin barrier, look no further than this hydrating face mask. This moisturizing mask will add moisture back to the skin after using decongesting treatments that can cause drying. The lightweight gel-cream formula absorbs into the skin quickly, leaving it smooth and hydrated for up to 12 hours without leaving behind a greasy residue.
