Like some others mentioned, I was a little confused and disappointed when I followed the directions to apply Dr Feelgood OVER my makeup. (I seriously wonder if that’s a misprint?) It mattified my face, but didn’t do anything for the appearance of my pores and it wiped off my blush.
So then I tried it again, putting it on first, before anything else and VOILA! I LOVE this stuff. I have huge pores, and with a little smudge off this over my cheeks, they completely disappear.
I have combination skin, and it’s been getting drier on my cheeks, the older I get. Even using this over dry skin, I had no problems.
So the only reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 is that it doesn’t work well with the “dewy” look. It’s very, very matte. (But I’ll happily make the sacrifice to make my pores disappear!)
I think the price is fine – the stuff lasts forever and it isn’t a drugstore brand, after all. All makeup and products from companies like this cost a bit more. I used to carry it in my bag all day and then I realized that there’s no point – I only need to put it on once in the morning and it lasts all day.
As for the controversial smell – I love it, I think it smells fresh and clean and slightly lemon-y, and the packaging is terribly cute.

This product really made my face feel soft and smooth, but it made my face break out (despite what the woman at the benefit counter told me). I have always had a perfect complextion, but after I started using this product, my skin began to break out. After I stopped using the product, my skin returned to normal.
If you have skin that is prone to break out, I would not use this product.

I loved the packaging and bought this, got it home and wasn’t quite sure what it was for. (That’s how much of a beauty product addict I am!). I put it on and it was like no other product. It really did feel good, turning skin to satin. It just smoothed over everything and I couldn’t stop touching my face. It can be used alone or as a kind of face primer. If you’re into tactile sensations this is a face product for you. Another fun product from Benefit.

I have found that this product essentially does what it claims to do… Leaves you with a flawless complexion. Minimizes pores and mattifies, REALLY!!!! It smells fine to me. It keeps your skin looking great UNDER makeup and provides a great base. Over makeup, it tones it down if you had an “ooops, too much blush!” moment. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is that it feels somewhat slimy to the touch… but looks beautiful!
