Neo Blurring Powder: Korean Oil-Control Compact with Pore Blurring, Smoothing Finish & Travel-Friendly, No-Spill Packaging

I’ve been pretty happy with this blurring powder overall. It does a great job of reducing shine and keeping excess oil off my face, especially when I first apply it. It gives my skin a smoother, more polished appearance without feeling heavy or cakey, which is exactly what I was looking for. The application is quick and easy, and the powder blends nicely into the skin. I also appreciate that the brushes clean up easily afterward, making it simple to maintain as part of my daily routine. My only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the oil-control effect doesn’t seem to last quite as long as I had hoped. That may be partly due to where I live—Houston’s heat and humidity can be brutal, especially during the summer. On particularly humid days, I find myself needing to touch up sooner than expected. That said, the powder still performs well and helps keep my skin looking less shiny throughout the day. It feels lightweight, doesn’t irritate my skin, and delivers a noticeable blurring effect. While I wish the longevity was a little better, I’m still happy with the purchase and would consider buying it again. It’s a solid product, especially for anyone looking for a simple way to manage oil and achieve a smoother-looking complexion.

Pros: I have combination skin with a super oily T-zone, dry cheeks, and I'm both acne-prone and sensitive, so controlling oil without creating dryness has always been my struggle. I've been using Clean and Clear oil blotting sheets for years, then switched to Revlon's Ro Volcanic Rollerball and various blotting sheets, but when the LANEIGE Neo Blurring Powder came out, I knew I had to try it. The LANEIGE powder really does keep shine at bay. Sometimes I'm patting it in with the cushion and can barely tell if I'm getting any product on, but then I see an immediate difference when I apply it over my eyebrows—my skin becomes mattified instantly. The LANEIGE Neo Blurring Powder lasts forever. I've had it for quite some time and there's still product left, which is incredible. It's more convenient than oil blotting sheets and significantly more affordable since those sheets are getting really expensive. I genuinely love having this LANEIGE option in my routine. Cons: I'm not completely convinced the LANEIGE Neo Blurring Powder is truly non-comedogenic. There are times I do break out, and I'm uncertain whether it's from the LANEIGE powder itself or from reapplying too frequently throughout the day. The velvet puff needs to be washed often because it picks up so much from my skin in addition to the product itself, which adds an extra maintenance step to using the LANEIGE compact.

This is the most beautiful and effective blurring powder I have ever used. It is incredible how blurring it is. My pores, which are big, simply disappear when I apply this with the puff. Having said that, this is a product that has a few cons and a learning curve that are worth noting. It is meant to be oil controlling and hydrating, but if there is any bit of dry flaky skin on your face this is going to cling to it and really draw attention to it. As an older woman, I have to be careful about that. Also you really do need to apply this with the puff to get the blurring and pore erasing effect. I am used to using a huge powder brush to lightly set my makeup, and this product doesn't work right with that. It really has no effect when applied with the brush. It takes a little bit longer to use the puff and I have to be extra careful that I am not overapply, as that will leave too much of a white cast. Having said that, this is still the best powder I have found, and I think I may just invest in a larger puff in order to apply this more quickly. I would 100% recommend it.

I loooove this powder. Don't be afraid just because is white. The formula is amazing, fragance free and makes my combo skin matte but not cakey or dry. And even with that has like a satin natural finish that I love. Helps to control oil during the day and I live in a tropical weather, but I don't need to re apply often, honestly like once during the whole day. It blurs my pores pretty good. Also the packaging is just perfect for having this in the bag with no mess (sometimes when the product is almost done is a little difficult to get the amount you want but, nothing too serious) and I LOVE that is refillable so you don't have to pay for the whole packaging again and that is enviroment friendly. Just get it, you won't regret it.

I was skeptical trying yet another powder. I was afraid that this would be just another product that promises without delivery of results. But I gotta tell ya, this product more than delivered! I wear this without any primer or foundation. And I only wear a tiny bit of concealer and feel like the result is much more even than the full face of makeup. Yes, you have to touch your face up more often if you live in humidity. However, it doesn’t feel like it makes your face more oily! It does actually seem like it absorbed some oil and the pores look more relaxed. I have not tried this with my Elta Md tinted sunscreen. Honestly, it just depends on what you need and where you are wearing it, and what you are wearing it with (as with any makeup). I love wearing this at home right after washing my face and/or spraying some hypochlorous acid formulated for the face. I don’t think I will wear it over my sunblock, but I did appreciate how a little bit of concealer went on when applied over the powder already on my nose. (I’m using NARS Soft Matte concealer.) I wouldn’t wear this over my sunblock because my sunblock is oily. And because the powder pouf is sooo soft! I’ve never had any powder include a pouff like this and I wouldn’t want to dirty this one with other formulas. The design of this compact is also really great. I love how there’s a feature to prevent spillage and release fine, loose powder onto only the pouf. And inside the compact is a section that separates and holds the pouf, but keeps the rest of the powder contained while allowing you to open the compact to use the mirror and never have a messy surprise! I will post pictures later and update beyond that, if necessary. LOVE this brand!

I love this brand's lip mask, so I had high hopes, but this was very disappointing. I've used much cheaper and easier to use top-coat powders that are just as effective. To apply the powder to the poof is very difficult - has a weird perforated rubber that covers the powder, I usually end up with uneven coverage of powder on the poof. Looks stylish and high-end, but is just not worth it.

Mrs K here: after a lot of back and forth with myself I decided to try this Laneige powder. During the Chicago winters I don't use much powder (52 year old, very dry, post menopausal skin) apart from an afternoon touch up on my nose. In every other month my skin goes full combination (yet remains dry, with all sorts of challenges). I do use powder to set my BB cream, and I've tried so many. This is a really exceptional powder. While I think the sort of Sputnik 60s retro/futuristic compact is almost too much, it's cute, and would look cute on a vanity, if that's your thing. I don't really care about the look of it. The silicone "mesh" inside the compact is pretty slick; the included powder puff is as soft as a kitten's fuzz, and again, secondary to the product itself, though quite nice. The powder is very, very finely milled, and whether applied with the puff, a mini triangle or a brush, only a tiny bit is needed to set your look or to touch up, and it vanishes into the skin. It absorbs excess oils and leaves my skin feeling like actual silk. It lasts for what seems like forever (I went to the gym and did a lot of cooking and other active stuff on a hot day, and I wasn't shiny when I got home, neither did my skin look flat or one-dimensional). Because so little powder is required to buff my skin I expect it to last for months and months; it's not irritating or drying, and I can't believe that I could love a powder at this age, but I do. It also gives that desired airbrushed effect; I feel like I'm walking around in good lighting. Just a really delightful and pleasant product that does what it claims to do, and very well. I recommend it highly.

Powder is really fine and feels light/ soothing on the skin. Good blurring and mattifying effect and dispenser is very easy to use. The puff picks up the makeup on your face extremely easily though and would probably need to be cleaned once a week

When recommended this product by a friend, I was skeptical. It worked so well and has become a daily part of my routine. It magically blurs out the pores and gets rid of oil instantly. Would very much recommend this to be in everyone's make up bag.

Amazing product.

The product is received open. No plastic seal

I’ve been using this blurring powder daily and it’s quickly become one of my go‑to makeup items. The texture is very finely milled and blends into my skin without looking heavy or cakey — it just gives a soft, blurred finish that helps makeup look more polished and natural. One of the biggest benefits for me is how well it controls oil and shine throughout the day. Even in warmer weather, it helps keep my T‑zone matte without completely flattening my skin’s natural glow. It also minimizes the look of pores and texture, so my complexion looks smoother overall. The compact is really handy for on‑the‑go touch‑ups — the no‑spill design and included puff make it easy to apply without mess, even when I’m traveling or in a rush. However, the amount of product isn’t huge, so it might feel small if you use it daily, and there’s a small learning curve to getting just the right amount released from the dispenser. Overall, if you want a lightweight setting powder that controls oil, blurs imperfections, and feels comfortable all day, this is definitely worth considering. It’s especially great for oily or combination skin, but still gentle enough that it doesn’t dry out the face.

It’s how i expected its so clean and the powder only come out when pressed which is convenient
