Dried my combination skin
-04.18.13
This product is probably best suited for oily skin as my combination skin didn't like this. My cheeks are not as oily as my T-zone but that is where my pores are more noticeable so I used this on my cheeks. It caused dryness and some flakiness on my skin. So I returned it. I still use the pore refiner which I love.

I love this product!!!!!!!
-03.23.13
Quick Take: excellent!, lasts a long time too!!, easy to use!
I have tried everything to minimize my pores and finally found what works for me with this product. I also use the pore vacuum/extractor in this line as well as the exfoliator and lotion. Love this line.

Poor thing because it didn't help my pores!
-03.17.13
Quick Take: hydrates t-zone, doesn't shrink pores as advertised, disappointing
This pricey product didn't reduce my pores whatsoever and I wouldn't re-purchase; however, I'm finishing the jar up only as a lightweight T-Zone hydrator. Since this only worked as a hydrator for me, I prefer the refreshing feeling of Philosophy's new "Take A Deep Breath Oil-Free Energizing Oxygen Gel Cream Moisturizer" on my T-Zone (Philosophy's gel cream makes my pores feel tighter versus Dr. Brandt's more expensive attempt). I feel like a poor thing to have invested my money.

It's okay
-03.01.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, oil controlling
I don't really have a big pore problem, but I still want my skin to be better. A shop assistant recommended this to me. It's quite expensive one and I thought it would work. While it doesn't really help my pores get cleared away. It works for moisture and oil control really well though.

Not really working for something so pricey
-01.25.13
Quick Take: refreshing
I bought this cute little ball two months ago, with hope that it could diminish my pore (according to the sales guy).
I used it religiously until it is finished (lasted me for two months), but haven't seen any results. It has a nice texture and is refreshing though...

Went back.
-08.25.12
Quick Take: drying
I tried it for a week, and took it back. I purchased it to use on my forehead, as I had some visible pores when I applied my foundation. I dried my skin in some areas and in others It really just didn't deliver. I brought it back, switched to a different foundation and resolved the problem.

Not impressed
-08.18.12
I bought this product hoping it would make the pores on my nose smaller and help lessen the oiliness in that area. After about a week and a half of using it morning and night, I saw no difference in either pore size or oiliness. I ended up returning it to the store.

I haven't used this product for a month yet but I know when I use it with makeup I am poreless, without makeup it seems my pores are smaller, but as I said, I haven't used it for long

-05.25.12
Quick Take: hydrating
Not a miracle product, but I definitely like how it feels on my skin. I haven't really noticed a difference in my pore size so I probably won't repurchase but I assume results vary and it may work great for others.

Awesome Product!
-05.06.12
Quick Take: lightens pores
I'm usually skeptical when it comes to new skincare products; however, I was pleasantly surprised. Since this product is pricey I wanted to test it before I bought. I asked for a few samples and I ended up loving this product! I use it every night after I wash my face. I do not put face moisturizer where I put the pore lightener. My pores look so much better than before. For me, it only took about a week in a half to notice a difference. And I honestly noticed a difference. However, if I don’t use the product every night I can also tell that my pores look a bit larger. Basically, I definitely recommend this product!!!

so far loving this
-04.11.12
Ok this will be my initial review. I will follow up later when summer kicks in here in Texas, and believe me, it's going to be hot one. Anyway, I just want to say this is incredible. I know nothing can make my pores disappear, I've always had them. But this shrinks them almost instantly. They don't look so enlarged. I tried this with Dior's BB cream and I looked pretty and flawless! :) It is a little pricey, so I have only used it in the day with makeup so my skin can look good. I've used it about a week so I can't say what it would be like long term. I imagine the pores go back if you stop :( But I know pores can't just be closed that easily. Either way, this definitely made my pores look improved. I'm 37 with oily skin.

-03.22.12
I have only had this product for about 3 weeks and so far, no major improvements and it doesn't control my shine as well as I thought it would. I am giving it some time and hopefully I can benefit from it with long-term use.

I am done buying Dr. Brandt skincare, it never works for me. I have pretty clear skin, just some blackheads on my nose but none of these products work for me. Including this one....I was disapointed
