This works!

I have to say I did one side of my face with this on and the other without and it is clear this reduces pores. It just feels lovely on the skin as well. A little goes a long way, and while a bit pricey, worth the $$$

Disappointed!

I had high hope for this product. I have giant pores on my nose and pretty much all over my cheeks, thanks to years suffering from acne. I don't think this stuff can help cover any of them. I apply it on, ah, what a nice velvet feeling it gives, and then look at my self in the mirror, the pores are still there, I can call each of their name. Maybe it works with the light or sth, and if I look in ...read moredifferent lighting or in different light, it can look better? I don't know, I just didn't bother to try. I though I still can use it as a makeup base because it made my face feel so smooth. And here is the most disappointing part: my makeup just seperate over it and look terrible, no matter how long I wait to let it set. Another warning: almost 20 bucks(including tax) for that tiny little 15ml tube is really a lot. I was shock to see how tiny the tube are. The fact that you just need to use a little of it each time did ease the pain a little bit though. And you need to be oily to use it, or it will dry your skin to no end.

pores no more..

This pore instant perfector really works. be careful . you may have those black head bumps around your nose this my make it show up, make sure to scrub your face durring your cleansing routine to get that result your looking for. But other than that it really helps to minimize pores right away after you apply. i put this on around my nose even on my chin before applying my foundation and it hide...read mores my pores well. id recomend this to anyone who feels their pores show through or stand out too much when you wear foundation. A little goes a long way too so no need to go over board with this stuff a pea size anout should do the trick.

Love this!

Its one of the best pore minimizers I've used, its easy to put on, non greasy and goes under makeup easily. Its pretty concentrated so you dont use a lot and the price is affordable and well worth it

Didn't work out for me

I really wanted this product to work. I love the Clinique line. However, after only a couple of hours, my nose was shiny and I had to blot. I used it after moisturizer but before foundation. I also tried after foundation but found it really smeared my foundation when I did that. I keep searching for my HG shine control.

Absolutely LOVE this stuff!

Thanks to genetics, as I've aged my pores have gotten very large near my t-zone. I use this only on those problem areas on top of my Studio Gear primer and under my mineral makeup, and can honestly say that my skin looks flawless! I also use a tiny amount around my lips, and it fills in the tiny lines and totally prevents my lip stick and gloss from feathering! This is a must have for me.

Just as its name implies...

This very thick gel/ paste goes on matte, smoothing over pores, & evening out the skin tone. It's a powerhouse in a small tube. Though the amount of product is small, it lasts a long, long time. For me, it's a desert island must-have.

mattifyingly wonderful!

I use this every day, on the sides of my nose, my chin, my forehead and temples. It keeps the oil at bay on my infuriatingly combination skin (cheeks are flaking off while forehead is spewing oil) and tones down the redness by my nose and on my chin. Also good for a quick refresher toward the end of the day.

a keeper

I''ve had the product for about 2 weeks and impressed how it hides the pores around my nose and brow. On the chin I noticed it balls up a little, but otherwise it feels light and natural and does a great job of making my skin look smooth in those porous areas.
