You might need to just exfoliate your skin (chemically not physically ) what is your skin type?

You can exfoliate your skin two different ways. Manually or chemically.
Manually offers little benefit as it only removes the dead skin cells as the very surface and does nothing more.
Chemical exfoliants are usually much gentler yet exfoliate better and can exfoliate as deep as the pores, making them more refined.
Two types of chemical exfoliants are AHA's and BHA's.
•AHA's ( Alpha hydroxy acid ) is for dry skin.
AHA's focus on exfoliating the outer layer of the skin as well as adding moisture. This is mostly for those with sun damage.
•BHA's ( Beta hydroxy acid ) is for oily skin, acne prone skin.
This is great for blackheads, whiteheads, pores, and white bumps ( milia or 'baby acne' ). BHA's can exfoliate deep into the pores which in turn can make the skin appear more firmer.
Both are great ( and the main reason why I don't really find it necessary to use a primer. )
I have dry skin but I personally use a BHA. It definitely will give you smoother, softer skin and refined pores on the first time you use it ( I can guarantee you that from person experience. ) and considering you've tried a lot of primers it may need to be your skin that needs the TLC ☺

Chemical exfoliation is definitely a must for me! I personally do not use a primer for this very reason ☺ I just use a light-weight moisturizer underneath and I get really nice results.
The BEST AHA & BHA's in my opinion is Paula's choice.
I enjoy knowing I can trust my skin with them and just focus on my needs solely rather than having to look at ingredients. ( As we all know I despise irritating and comedogenic ingredients, as well as fragrances. ).
This is the product I personally use:

She does have a variety of other AHA& BHA products;

I got my bottle for $11.00 and it was originally $23.00.

Use a clay mask like Freeman lemon and mint one to tighten pores and then use milk of magnesia as a primer if you have oily skin and then your normal primer like benefit porefessional..hope it makes a difference!
