Hides my HUGE pores

by charliecat31 (13 reviews)
This is my favorite beauty product ever made! It hides my huge pores, keeps down the shine and makes my makeup last longer. I use it as an all over face primer because it makes my skin look so flawless! You only use a small amount, so the tube lasts a very long time. I love that I can dab a little on top of my foundation during the day if I need a touch up and it doesn't disturb my foundation or leave it looking cakey. I actually make sure that I always have two of these on hand because I'm terrified Clinique will stop making it some day and I'll be crushed.10/25/2007

    I love this stuff

December 8, 2007, 9:25 pm I was surprised that I really like this product. I decided to try it but had set myself up to be disappointed by it, but I wasn't! I use it only on my nose because it tends to ball up and flake off anywhere else. And I don't wear it under foundation, because it also makes my foundation (Lancome Teint Idole Ultra) ball up and flake off. But I don't wear full foundation most days anyway; I just spot cover with it and then use MAC Blot Powder. So the Instant Perfector reduces redness and the appearance of pores on my nose, and it also increases the time before my nose will experience oily breakthrough. In fact, often after several hours I'll notice that my forehead (where I don't apply the Instant Perfector) appears oily but my nose doesn't. It certainly works better than any other mattifying product I've tried, and I appreciate that it doesn't contain alcohol. And I haven't experienced any problems with breaking out, which I half expected/feared to. So overall, I'll definitely repurchase. Ingredients: cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, hdi/trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer, isononyl isononanoate, silica, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, vinyl dimethicone/methicone silsesquioxane crosspolymer, polymethyl methacrylate, lauroyl lysine, tocopheryl acetate, stearyl glycyrrhetinate, ethylhexylglycerin, phytosteryl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate, methicone, phenoxyethanol, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, isopropylparaben. May contain: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxides. December 8, 2007, 9:25 pm

    LOVE.. Large Pores my enemy..

    As I get older my pores seem to get larger. I have pretty good skin, but large pores cannot be helped as we get older. This product I found by chance.

November 30, 2007, 9:01 am As I get older my pores seem to get larger. I have pretty good skin, but large pores cannot be helped as we get older. This product I found by chance. It hides my pores, I can wear it in the dead days of summer, and set it with a setting powder w/spf. If it helps I was told, I should be happy with my large pores. I will not get a great deal of wrinkles as I get older, due to large pores. LOL. I'm in my early 30's, with a sixteen year old son. I guess gray hair coming in is better then wrinkles and my pores well I can hide them with this awesome product.... November 30, 2007, 9:01 am

    clinique pore minimizer instant perfector

    by gsovie (1 review)
    This has got to be a clinique secret. You can wear alone, under foundation or over foundation. Not only does it minimize the look of your pores but it also hides fine lines. I would not leave my house without this product. December 27, 2007, 6:54 pm

    This fills in your pores before your foundation. It really minimizes that orange peel look and makes your skin look smooth December 27, 2007, 5:03 pm

    I use this in conjunction with the acne-clearing products & have had very impressive results...I could actually go without foundation which, given how my skin used to be, makes it a winner for me! December 27, 2007, 4:12 pm

    A Must-Have!

    by stevibiel (3 reviews)
    I usually apply this product before foundation etc, then keep it with me when I go out. It's the perfect touch up remedy, especially in humidity or heat when the face can get a little shiny. It definately creates a matte finish that is worth the extra bucks!!!! February 21, 2008, 10:56 am

    I discovered this about 2 years ago, and I don't go a day without it. It has a very subtle color to it that also helps cover those undereye circles. It also helps control my oily T-zone wonderfuly. Try it, you wont go another day without it. December 29, 2007, 11:44 am

    Does the trick.

    by nicolew (3 reviews)
    I have huge pores so this products has tough job to do. It covers well, but does wear off after a few hours. It can be worn alone or under foundation. I found under the foundation works best for me. It gives me a soft natural look--not "made up" which I prefer. Wished it dispensed a little better though. December 27, 2007, 3:32 pm

    My Ultimate New Beauty Find!

    I have that oily t-zone and nothing would work without caking up and looking un-natural. This product is amazing.

Anyone with that t-zone shine and combination skin should try it. Just a dab on the forehead, nose and chin will do the trick. December 27, 2007, 4:49 am
