Review 1 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
Amazing!
-05.07.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
Nothing worked on my sensitive skin, my nose would break out in these red pimple-like areas that would never emerge. This stuff not only did not aggravate, but actually corrected the situation! I am very impressed.

Review 2 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
-04.23.13
Quick Take: a revelation
This has been the greatest product. I have incredibly oily skin, and I put this on before I apply foundation and it keeps my skin smooth and matte for a good hour or two longer than otherwise. My pores look super small, and it has overall been a lifesaver.

Review 3 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
AMAZING
-04.23.13
Quick Take: exfoliating
I NEVER write reviews but I felt like I had to with this product. I am OBSESSED with face products and buy almost everything under the sun. This is the first product I have ever got on to write a review about. Within a week after using this morning and night my face is so smooth. People keep commenting on how smooth my skin is. It's flawless. BUY this product and I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Review 4 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
No result
-04.17.13
Upon first using this serum, I had high hopes. I have really oily skin with large pores on my cheeks. The serum absorbs quickly and made my skin feel very smooth and matte. But this did not last long and within an hour, my oily skin was back. However, the serum was not intended to control oily skin and so I continued using it hoping that my pores would eventually get smaller. After no changes after daily usage for a month, I gave up and returned the serum.

Review 5 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
Love this Serum
-03.25.13
Quick Take: smoothing
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. You can tell a difference with one use. I tend to stay with Clinique Products for the price and value. Always good product and at decent price. However I do have to say I find this product on the pricy side, but 100% it works, The woman who does my facials actually reccomended this to me. As an alternative product to her 150 whatever she was trying to sell me :-) I even find that before makeup application this tends to fill in small wrinkles for a more airbursh look.

Really Works
-03.19.13
Quick Take: worth it!
I have tried several products for large pores without much luck. Ive used this for a week and see an improvement already. Feels a little heavy when I first put it on but absorbs quickly.

Review 8 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
Great Stuff!
-03.08.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I have read some reviews saying that this product didn't shrink their pores. I'm not sure if it is supposed to actually shrink, or if it is just supposed to give the APPEARANCE of smaller pores. If it is the latter, then it does it's job! This stuff is great! I clean my face like regular, and put it on. I have dry skin that is actually prone to break outs. At night I put a little heavier moisturizer on, and before makeup in the AM I put this on before base. Immediately, my skin feels super silky and soft. When I apply my makeup, it goes on very smooth and sets~I'm not even using powder anymore. (I used powder for shiny spots on nose and forehead since my base was moisturizing). Before, when I would talk on my phone, there would be gross, thick makeup residue on the phone afterwards. Not since I started using this. I am also not using as much base or applying as often as I was before. The first time I used it, I noticed a difference. I have even worn it without makeup and there is still a noticeable difference. It is a little pricey for the size, but if you want the appearance of smaller pores and can pay it, then I suggest getting this. I only need one pump for each use. I have also not experienced any breakouts at all, and my skin is prone to breakouts. I LOVE THIS STUFF.

This has got to be one of my favourite products. I bought it thinking : these creams never work... but I love Clinique so I decided to splurge.
Shocker : it works wonderfully. My pores are noticeably smaller. It's amazing, really. Worth the price.

Review 10 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
Worth the price tag
-02.08.13
Quick Take: effective, silky
I really love this product. The pores on my nose are so much lighter and smaller as are the large pores on my cheeks I inherited from my mother. If I didn't have such bad under eye circles I wouldn't even wear makeup thanks to this goodness.

Review 13 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
A little goes a long way
-01.24.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
I've been working at a spa for over two years and am studying bio. I learned that you can't actually shrink your pores and that your skin still needs oil. Sadly, I had really oily skin, generally around the T-zone. I was hesitant about trying this product because of two things, what I learned and the price but I gave it a shot anyway because there was a set of the full sized serum and travel size for the 7 day scrub and moisturizer. This line doesn't really promote itself to help oily skin but it has really leveled out my oiliness. I hate wearing face makeup but will for work, however, after about two or three weeks, I wasn't wearing any at all. My skin is soft, my pores are less noticeable and it looks as if my skin is even evening out depigmentation from old scars. There are still scars but it's not so dramatic and I don't feel hypocritical going to work anymore. I did start using this serum after getting a European facial to first remove all of my blackheads. Will definitely keep using this. Four stars because of price but a little goes a very long way. I'm going onto my second month and there's still some serum left. I was tempted to try the foundation for this line but I haven't even been using that anymore.
I recommend asking for a sample. The amount they give should last a few days so you can decide from there. Just remember that serums are generally light sensitive so keep it away from direct light.

Review 15 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
Love how it feels
-01.14.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I'm not sure if this does much to minimize the look of my pores, but it definitely improves the texture of my skin. My skin tends to be slightly oily, but this lotion seems to minimize that. It works very well as a primer underneath makeup and in general just makes my skin feel like cashmere.
I gave it only 4 stars because of the price, but I definitely notice a decline in the quality of my skin when I'm not using it, so I always repurchase it willingly.

Review 16 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
Made a HUGE difference!
-01.06.13
Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating
I bought this because I needed a new serum. It takes about two weeks to see the results but I started getting compliments on my complexion and trust me before I was using anything to cover all the problems. I just ran out and will be buying it again.

Review 17 for Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum
seriously awesome primer
-12.10.12
I am so glad I found this primer. It works wonders as a base for your foundation. It fills in your pores giving you flawless skin. Mind you my pores are not huge and I don't have many, just a few on my cheek/nose area. I can't say that i've noticed a reduction in the amount of pores I have, but I do only use this product once a day in the morning and it's recommended use is twice daily. This is something I don't like being without. Like I said I don't have extremely noticeable pores but now that I use and adore this product I can tell a difference when I don't use it.

Works Great!!

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, reduces redness in skin
This serum works awesome! It shrinks my open pores AND takes care of any redness in the skin especially around my nose. I'm Asian with a combination skin type oily T zone and dry skin at night. I love how soft my skin gets and I also use the moisture surge gel, this product is totally worth it =]
