I'll describe my skin type at the end for reference. Let's start with a functional assessment. Compared to the primers I used to love back in the day, this one focuses more on smoothing texture and controlling oil rather than filling in pores. It leaves your skin feeling incredibly matte, but here's the catch - when you apply foundation or cushion on top (even ones you've used before), it emphasizes texture you didn't even know you had! Instead of that beautiful matte finish, it makes your skin look parched and flaky. Thinking about who this might work for, I'd say it's best suited for those with absolutely no blemishes. Why? Because it tends to highlight any imperfections, making even the slightest hint of flaking skin around blemishes glaringly obvious. You might find yourself wondering, "Has this always been on my face?" If you're managing blemishes with BHA products, I'd steer clear of this one too. Since I've already bought it, I'll try using it sparingly on specific areas or near my hairline and reassess.
ConsSo, did my sensitive, dermatitis-prone skin react badly? You bet it did! I can't speak to how it affects regular acne since I only used it once before washing it off. While it might be okay for those with typical sensitive skin without dermatitis, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. For those with severely sensitive skin like mine, it's a definite no-go.
TipSkin profile: Combination dehydrated, varies by area, super sensitive, prone to excess oil production, frequent whiteheads, occasional itchy or painful blemishes, *frequent dermatitis flare-ups, *redness and dilated blood vessels due to steroid ointment side effects, very fragile and thin skin Ingredients that don't work for me: High concentrations of Centella Asiatica, heavy and suffocating formulas, carrot pads, Dr.G cream, cypress water-based products, Mediheal Tea Tree ampoule, over-nourishing formulas, shea butter, orange oil, sage oil, silicones, dimethicone(?), pore-clogging ingredients, cyclohexasiloxane, betaine, etc. (still discovering more)

The cushion definitely has good staying power and controls oil production well. This would be great for those new to primers - an excellent entry-level product.
ConsAfter my first purchase, I tried to retract the product and at some point it got stuck and wouldn't go back down. This caused the primer to get a bit squished when closing the lid. It's worth being careful about this. Also, if you already have a primer you probably don't need to buy this, but that doesn't mean it's not good!

I have extremely oily skin, and my T-zone would get incredibly shiny between 2-4 PM, looking like it had been dipped in oil. But using the About-turn Primer significantly reduced the oiliness. I can maintain a matte complexion even in the afternoon~~ 2. The pore coverage improves gradually and impressively! It applies thinly for a natural look, and the coverage is quite good.
ConsIt doesn't seem to fully cover very deep pores. But this actually makes it look more natural, so it's both a drawback and an advantage!
TipIt pairs well with the About-turn Blur Cushion.

It's easy to use and kept my skin matte all day without feeling greasy. I've been using Benefit's Pore Primer for over a decade, always coming back to it after trying other products. But this one? It's making me seriously reconsider my loyalty! I'm planning to keep using it throughout the summer.
ConsThe stick format makes it so convenient to use, I really can't find any downsides.

ConsI can't think of any downsides. You absolutely must give this a try!

It helps control excess oil a bit.
ConsWhen I apply it with a slight rubbing motion, it pills up like dead skin. Also, I can't really tell the difference between when I use it and when I don't.

It doesn't feel dry or heavy, and it slightly smooths out uneven texture.
ConsIt can clump, so after applying, use your hands to spread and press it into the skin for better adherence. It's difficult to apply on contoured areas like the nose. I'm not sure about its pore-blurring effect.

Although it comes in a solid balm form, which might slightly catch in the creases around your nose, it quickly melts when spread with your fingertips, creating a smooth canvas.
ConsAfter use, it can be a bit tricky to retract the product back into the container, often requiring a gentle push. Also, the formula occasionally tends to clump slightly, so you may need to smooth it out with your fingers for even application.
