Customer feedback is positive overall, with the supplied summary highlighting perceived pore control and makeup longevity, including use by someone with oily skin and large pores. That feedback may be relevant to the listing’s mattifying and pore-refinement focus, but it does not establish that the stated 16-hour performance will apply to every user. The ratings also include a smaller share of low-star responses, so experiences are not uniformly positive.
