MAYBELLINE Poreless Jelly Primer clear — Hydrating, Blurring with 2% Niacinamide, lightweight 24HR wear

Maybelline Poreless Jelly Primer is a clear, water-jelly primer that hydrates, smooths the look of pores and helps makeup stay put for up to 24 hours.

This lightweight primer uses a water-break gel texture and pore-minimizing polymers combined with 2% niacinamide to create a skin-like veil that feels fresh rather than heavy. It’s formulated without silicones, resists pilling, and layers under foundation or light coverage products to improve wear time and surface blur without leaving a white cast. Non-comedogenic and suitable for a wide range of skin types, the formula aims to balance hydration and soft-focus mattifying effects.

How does this primer make skin look smoother without feeling greasy?

The gel-to-water texture spreads easily and settles into a barely-there finish that reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and fine texture without a heavy film. Instead of silicone slip, the primer relies on pore-targeting polymers and a water-jelly base for a fresh, non-greasy result.

• Water-jelly formula absorbs quickly, leaving a light, skin-like surface
• Pore-minimizing polymers create immediate soft-focus effects
• Non-greasy finish prevents shine while keeping skin comfortable
• No white cast or silicone residue, so makeup blends cleanly

Will it help my makeup last longer and layer well?

This primer is designed to extend makeup wear—its texture helps products adhere and remain even throughout the day. It won’t pill when layered with foundation, BB cream, or tinted moisturizers, and it creates an even base for complexion and color cosmetics.

• Extends foundation and concealer longevity for prolonged wear
• Compatible with cream, liquid, and powder finishes
• Does not flake or roll up under multiple layers
• Clear shade avoids altering your foundation tone

What active ingredient does it contain and what does it do for skin?

The formula includes 2% niacinamide, a skin-friendly ingredient known for improving the appearance of uneven texture and supporting the skin’s barrier. In this primer, niacinamide works with hydrating gel components to deliver a smoother-looking surface and a refreshed feel.

• 2% niacinamide helps even skin texture and supports barrier comfort
• Hydrating gel maintains skin moisture without heaviness
• Non-comedogenic formulation minimizes pore clogging risk
• Suitable for sensitive skin types due to gentle base ingredients

How should I use it for best results?

Apply a small amount after your moisturizer and allow it to set briefly before applying foundation or tint. A pea-sized drop is usually enough; gently pat or smooth across areas with visible pores or texture for a uniform finish.

• Use after skincare, before color makeup application
• Start with a small amount; build only if needed
• Works under powders, liquids and creams without pilling
• Remove at night with a gentle cleanser or micellar water

Who this is for: Ideal for anyone seeking a lightweight primer that blurs pores and improves makeup longevity without a silicone-heavy feel. It’s a useful pick for oily, combination, normal and sensitive skin types, and for makeup wearers who prefer a fresh, non-greasy base that layers cleanly under a variety of complexion products.
