ouch!

by fallenangel9079 (12 reviews)
ok this stuff is weird. when you first put it on your skin it goes on in a silky refreshing way, however it takes foreverrrrrr to lather! try lathering it in your hands 1st which still takes a good min, a min that i dont have! anyway then when its finally on your face it feels good then takes a turn for the worst. It starts to burn! i'm not talking the slight tingling warm sensation that can be invigorating from some "heat themselves" cleansers, no this stuff burns like ACID. i'm not joking, its not fun, it makes me feel like i just put bleach on my face. whats the worst is when you rinse it o...10/26/2007

    my least favorite face wash ever

November 29, 2007, 11:42 am I love trying new facial cleansers, so I thought I'd give this a try. It lathered up really nicely and went on my face very smoothly...but about 15 seconds after it hit my face, it really started to burn. I do not have sensitive skin and am not allergic to any of the ingredients, but the stuff burns in the shower and even for awhile after you get out. It also turned my skin slightly pink...the burning/pink color do not go away until I put on a very generous amount of face lotion. I've tried using very little of this product...I've tried rinsing immediately, as well as leaving it on my face for a few minutes...but always with the same uncomfortable result!

    P-U!

    by mamaskia (3 reviews)
    I found this to be too drying and my daughter borrowed it once and thought it smelled like 'throw-up'. Oddly, when I used it again and thought about it, I had to agree that it did smell a bit barfy! It's just one of those scents that can go either way - just like manure and blueberries!

Oddly, when I used it again and thought about it, I had to agree that it did smell a bit barfy! It's just one of those scents that can go either way - just like manure and blueberries! The next time you drive by a dairy farm, think 'blueberries' when you smell the manure and you'll see! May 28, 2008, 4:46 pm

    sadly no

    by Manjana (9 reviews)
    i like the texture, the foaming sensation, and most of all their marketing face. and so i used the pore minimizing line for probably 6 months, but absolutely no reduction in pore size. in fact, i had tons of more black heads popping up every single day. biore - not for me!

    Itty Bitty Pores in Days!

    by Katie (4 reviews)
    I received a sample of this product and was floored by the effects. I had to go out and buy some. I have a normal complexion, not oily and not dry, however my pores are larger than I would like. Using the Biore face wash works miracles to reduce the size of your pores! December 11, 2007, 5:54 am

    I Like This Product

    by guildedlily (4 reviews)
    I received a free sample of this product once. I liked it so much, I went out & bought a full size. Heck, even my husband used it! It really helps clear up and control the shine in my oily T-Zone face. I tried other products since then but I've since gone back to Biore'. Good job, guys! November 29, 2007, 6:46 pm

    facial dry-out!

    by Brookie9447 (6 reviews)
    I love Biore products, however, I'm not a big fan of the Biore Pore Minimizing Foaming Face Wash. I've been using it for 2 months and have seen no difference in the size of my pores; it also has really dried my face out :( November 14, 2007, 9:44 am

I have sensitive face skin I guess since I developed some rosacea in my older years. I won't be buying this but I am glad I had some free samples first. Thats a great way to test a product before you spend your hard earned money. August 26, 2008, 3:55 am

    Pore Perfect!

    by krudder30 (186 reviews)
    I really like this face wash. I have to be honest, I never really saw a reduction in the appearance of my pores, but this is a great cleanser.

August 14, 2008, 10:18 am I really like this face wash. I have to be honest, I never really saw a reduction in the appearance of my pores, but this is a great cleanser. The little cleansing beads burst with ever so soft heat on your face. The "non-lathering" never bothered me as I have had many face washes that did not lather. Also, I have very sensitive skin and this did not irritate my skin at all. No burning or even tingling for that matter other than the slight heat. Overall I think this is a great product especially for the price. August 14, 2008, 10:18 am

    Only takes a dab!

    by DFWeclecticOne (4 reviews)
    This cleanser takes less product than anything I have ever used! If you use more than a small dot, it will take forever to get it all off your face, so watch it!

August 3, 2008, 10:21 am This cleanser takes less product than anything I have ever used! If you use more than a small dot, it will take forever to get it all off your face, so watch it! Still, even if you use too much I have never experienced buring, tinglng, or drying EVER! It cleans pours really well, but after months of use, I can't tell you that it actually reduces the pours. Plus, it does contain parabins. Still, with the tiny amount used, and the very reasonable price it is not a bad product...esp. for teens! August 3, 2008, 10:21 am
