This product from Benefit has been one of the most surprising products that I have tried from Birchbox.  This balm is called the Porefessional and claims to minimize the appearance of pores.  I held onto this product for at least a month before trying it because I had so many other products that I liked to use didn't really want to add a new facial cream into the mix.  Now I use this product every single day.   I use it on my nose where my pores are the most visible and it is like using a foundation and a powder all in one.  My nose has pores that could use a facial monthly if I could afford it, but with the Benefit Porefessional product, my nose looks flawless after each application.  This product has definitely surpassed my expectations.
