Review 1 for Pore Refining Serum

Quick Take: pore refining
I just started using this product on the advice of one of the sales associates. The jury is still out, but I can see a very slight difference around the eye area. I love the application, you control how much you want to use.

Review 2 for Pore Refining Serum
It's okay
-05.06.13
I didn't experience the amazing results that other reviewers did, but it's not horrible either. I don't think I would purchase it again because there is not that much of a noticeable difference. Some reviewers commented about the smell of the product, I actually like the way it smells!

Review 3 for Pore Refining Serum
Awesome and works fast
-04.29.13
The first 26 years of my life I never had a problem with my pores then I suddenly started to a few months ago. I frantically started trying out a bunch of products and this was the first that worked, I noticed a difference within a day or two and after a few weeks I'm back to normal. Awesome for the price.

Great affordable product!
-04.23.13
This product is great! Really great value for money especially since a little goes a long way for me. The only thing I am not crazy about is the applicator, most of the product stays on there. Other than that I love it!

Review 5 for Pore Refining Serum
certainlysarai
FAST RESULTS!!!
-04.22.13
I just turned 36 and for the first time started noticing my pores. They seemed to be more noticeable, and larger than when I was younger. Obviously makeup just draws more attention to them so I started looking for remedies. I tried Benefit's Porefessional first and it did nothing to reduce the size of my pores. Since Sephora brand products have always worked well for me I bought their pore refining serum knowing I could return it if it didn't do anything. I was very pleased on my first application, the smell is AMAZING kind of citrusy and fresh. It immediately smoothed out my skin and made my pores noticeably smaller. It's only my second day and I know I won't ever be without this product again.

Review 6 for Pore Refining Serum
It works
-03.30.13
It definitely does shrink pores. I haven't seen my pores this small since I was a kid. I will say though, it does dry out the skin around my nose when I follow the instructions and use twice a day after cleansing my face. I switched to using it once a day or every other day and my skin is now healthy and filled with nearly invisible pores! :)

Review 7 for Pore Refining Serum
Nope
-03.28.13
I used this for a week and didn't see any difference in my pores. It burned a little too when I first put it on & I really didn't like the applicator. I gave it 2 stars because it did help mattify my skin a bit but I will be returning this.

Review 8 for Pore Refining Serum
Review 9 for Pore Refining Serum
Great for Combo Skin!
-03.14.13
Quick Take: hydrating
Great improvement in my skin since using this (along with Boscia Black Cleanser). I have monthly breakouts and some dry patches. Also, I'm obsessed with the applicator! Why can't all products have this applicator?

Review 10 for Pore Refining Serum
PORES NO MORE!
-03.03.13
Quick Take: fantastic to use on the embarrassing wide pores
Easy to use serum that works immediately, tightening wide pores to make them a fraction of their original size! Great product!

Great Product

Love this product. Worked on first application to control oil. I have a very oily T-zone and this product works better than more expensive producta that I have tried. Will be ordering again.

Review 12 for Pore Refining Serum
Review 13 for Pore Refining Serum
Keeps shine at bay
-02.07.13
Quick Take: mattifying
My t zone is oily, and about 3 hrs in to the day I need to start blotting.
My bb cream doesn't help with this of course....but neither does the powder i apply on top of it to try to keep the shine away.
My bb cream doesn't help with this of course....but neither does the powder i apply on top of it to try to keep the shine away.
I used this on a clean face before moisturizing & 5 hrs later my nose is still shine free.
I gave it 3 stars bc, well, frankly for something that really just mattifies your skin AND it being a sephora brand not even a NAME name brand product, the price is too high IMO.
Otherwise its a good product, just should be about $8 less I think. ...

Review 14 for Pore Refining Serum
Awesome product
-02.05.13
Quick Take: hydrating
I have tried other products that minimize pores and this is by far the best. I started using it three days ago and already notice a difference , can't wait to see full results. This product is light, smells great and a great price. Definitely need to give this a try.

Review 15 for Pore Refining Serum
Pore Refining
-02.02.13
I haven't noticed my pores getting any smaller, but it has only been a week. I LOVE how it controls the T-zone shine all day! I used to be shiny by 10 and now I go all day without having to blot my face.

Help
-01.31.13
I have very large pores and when this first came out, I jumped on it. I washed my face real good but was lazy and did not use my Clarasonic. I used product as stated and within a few minutes it starts to flake and ball up in my fingers?? I'm keeping it and will see what other reviewers say!! Help me please!! What am I doing wrong??

Review 18 for Pore Refining Serum
Amazing stuff!!!!
-01.28.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, pore refining
I noticed my pores were getting bigger and even "sagging" in the T zone and also on my cheeks. I wanted to try this product because of its smart design and value. I am amazed. I saw results within the same day I used this serum. I exfoliated with my Sonic Wave and put this on and voila! Smaller pores. I love how it smells and the extra applicator tip they include in the box for you. This is a serious bang for your buck.
