Primark fans loving £4 range that makes skin instantly airbrushed – and some say it’s the first Benefit dupe of its kind
FLAWLESS skin doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.
And nobody knows this better than Primark – that’s why the retail giant has dropped a number of sell-out beauty dupes over the years.
Luckily for us, its brand new Poreless Prep + Perfect collection is a dupe for an iconic Benefit range.
In fact, shoppers think it’s the first dupe of its kind.
We all remember our first time applying Benefit’s flagship POREfessional Primer; the silky texture, instant blurring effect and lightweight feel are unforgettable.
And to further add to our delight, Benefit released a full POREfessional skincare range in March last year.
But where do you turn when you can’t afford £88 worth of products to have porcelain skin?
Well, you turn to Primark.
Beauty formulators at the retail giant have duped Benefit’s POREfessional skincare range in four new products.
The best bit? they all cost less than £5 each.
Firstly, there’s the PS… Poreless Prep + Perfect Blurring Drops for £4 to help to refine and smooth the look of your skin.
This is a dupe for Benefit’s £32 POREfessional Face Primer.
“Target the appearance of enlarged pores with our PS… Pore Blurring Drops, courtesy of the Poreless Prep + Perfect skincare range,” Primark bosses said.
“This dermatologically tested formula offers a lightweight consistency that allows for easy application and fast absorption into the skin.
“Aiming to refine the look of pores and smooth the skin with a blurring effect, these complexion drops are ideal for oily and combination skin types in particular.”
Secondly, there’s the PS… Poreless Prep + Perfect Foaming Toner for £4.50.
Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.

“This foaming toner is designed to help tighten, tone and minimise visible pores, while seeking to prep the skin post cleanse and prior to using serums and moisturisers,” they said.
Thirdly, Primark has dropped its PS… Poreless Prep + Perfect Oil Cleanser for £5.
Designed with combination and oily skin types in mind, this cleansing oil is formulated to help melt away dirt, debris and makeup, all while conditioning and nourishing the skin
