Enlarged pores and discoloration are visibly reduced for a more even, radiant complexion. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates - PhthalatesWhat else you need to know:This product is formulated without triclosan, petrochemicals, synthetic dyes, and GMOs. It is dermatologist tested, for all skin types, non-comedogenic, and oil-free.

Combining Alguronic Acid with powerful, targeted active ingredients, Algenist skincare helps support the skin’s cell regeneration processes to deliver visible antiaging benefits for youthful and radiant looking skin.Research results:In comparison testing, Alguronic Acid outperformed other well-known active antiaging ingredients, demonstrating superior antiaging benefits. Average results measured following an in vitro test with Alguronic Acid: - 55% increase in cellular regeneration - 32% increase in elastin synthesis - 26% decrease in melanin production Following a self-assessment of 100 women, within 10 days of daily use: - 86% of women reported the appearance of pores was diminished - 97% of subjects saw improvement in skin texture and tone - 92% of subjects saw brightening of dull skin Within four weeks of use: - 90% of subjects saw pore size and appearance minimized - 97% of subjects saw smoothing of rough, uneven skin

Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating, moisturizing, shrinks pores
I have or should say had large pores starting and after using this I saw changes in my pores and skin in a week. Great product. Price could more reasonable for the small amount you get. Overall happy with the results.

My miracle serum
-05.05.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
Let be start by saying I have been struggling with my acne scars for about 3 months now. I have tried everything from home remedies to using serums with hydroquinone but nothing seemed to work. I got a 8 ml size one in my sephora gratis and I started using it in fear of it breaking me out since everything breaks me out. To my surprise this product ended up helping me with my scars, it reduced the bumps on my skin, and it has helped with my pore a bit as well. But I don't have huge pores so I don't know how well it'll be for people with big pores. But anyways I call this my miracle serum and its so worth the 75 bucks. Only the best for my face.

My large pores have been an issue for me for ages so I was skeptical of this product when the nice man at Sephora recommended it to me. I liked samples of Algenist's moisturizer so I decided to give it a shot anyways. I didn't immediately see any changes, but continued to use it twice a day anyway. 2 or 3 weeks later, my pores are tiny! OK, not super teeny tiny that they look gone, but the change is really significant.
I use this with a moisturizer and sunscreen as well though... I don't think it's hydrating enough on it's own. And it takes a little while to dry so that's another step added to my already too time consuming beauty routine. Also I'm not sure I will buy this again because it's definitely out of my budget... OK on a splurge, but I'm not sure I can keep this tiny-pore lifestyle up. I just wanted to say how impressed I am with this product though!

This is ammmmmmazing. My goodness. My pores after one usage have shrunk! My cheeks by the t zone need most help. I cant wear sparkly blush cuz it will emphasize the depth of the pores. :( I am sold! I got it as a sample. Gosh if only it weren't this expensive.

Quick Take: hydrating
This seems to really work. I think I saw a difference in just a couple of days. And more improvement with continued use. The most noteable improvement is pore tightening. I haven't seen significant improvement in smooting roughness or refining skin texture.

easy way to keep my stubborn acne at bay
-04.02.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, controls acne, soothes itchy skin
I've been using this for about a month now and I must confess my skin is reacting very well to its ingredients...i've sensitive, oily and seriously acne prone skin. I tried many other products from PTR, Ole Henriksen and Korres & they all worsened my acne instead of treating it. I really did not buy this to treat my acne but to shrink my large pores and the turnaround is that, i haven't seen a zit since I first dabbed it onto my skin. I'm not too convinced about its pore shrinking power but as long as I don't get a nasty pimple like the craters I used to wake up w/while using products from the companies I've hereby mentioned, I'll continue buying it. The texture is smooth and non greasy (believe me, if there had been an ounce of oil in here, my skin wouldn't hesitate in letting me know in the form of an unsightly pimple....ugh!)....it absorbs quickly and harmonizes w/any moisturizer you may want to combine it with. I guess i should settle for what I've gotten thus far (clear, acne free skin) but i had high hopes for my pores. Oh well, i saw another product in the Algenist line i'm willing to try before I give up and just succumb to the temptation of Retin-A....all in all, a good product I'm happy to have found!

my husband noticed
-03.25.13
Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating, pore-minimizing, brightening
I had very large, clogged pores, even though I have been using oil free products and a cleansing "machine" twice daily. This product was recommended in the store so I tried it. After 6 days of use, my husband walked into the bathroom as I was just finishing putting on my makeup, when he said, "you know, your skin actually looks younger". YAY! The pores are not completely unclogged, but it is only now 1 week. They are much better than before. The only reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is soooo expensive. :(

-03.25.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I got a sample of this and I just had to write a review. I saw it had glycerin in the ingredients, which I usually stay away from as I have oily skin and it is a humectant. I tried this last night and sure enough, when I woke up, my face was covered in grease. I definitely will not be using this in the daytime, but I'll try it overnight for the next few nights and see if it makes any difference. Nothing's changed yet!

Quick Take: shrinks pores and decreases oil production
I do not know where to begin. This product has changed my skin in the most wonderful and youthful way. I am the person that tries everything ... until I find the one that works for me. My skin has always been oily, big pores with congestion no matter what I use. I use a Clarsonic to clean and yes, it helps ... but ... I was still missing something and then came ... Algenist Multi-Perfecting Pore Corrector Concentrate. My results are astonishing. My oil production has decreased tremendously, my pores are much smaller and my skin tone is even. I am almost 46 years old and I have to tell you .... I was starting to give up hope. Between the hormones, aging and hot flashes I was not having a good outlook. For me, this is the product that rocks my face. I hope they will always have it available. I am also using Murad Resurgence's line with this product. Together they make an unbeatable team.

Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating, moisturizing
I've been using this serum for about a month now, and this is one of my new favorite beauty products! My skin feels smoother, my pores are shrinking, and my skin tone has seen improvement too. I'm not a huge fan of skincare products with fragrances, and I love the subtle scent in this line!

What a Difference!
-02.27.13
I have, in the last few years, noticed larger pores around my nose and nothing I had tried seemed to make them smaller until I tried this. I have only used the Pore Corrector for about 2 weeks, 2x/day, and the pores are nearly gone. I really am amazed. I hoped for some improvement, but this went beyond my expectations. So worth the cost!

Quick Take: pore minimizing
I got a sample of this and used it only once a day for close to 2 weeks now. My pores were less noticeable after only 2 uses and my skin was also smoother. I think it may have also slightly brightened my skin, although not as noticeably as the pore reduction. I must mention though that I have oily skin and I did find the product to be slightly drying even following it up with my normal moisturizer so I don't know how this would work for those with dry skin. I also noticed slight peeling around my nose. I had a few more blemishes than normal, but I don't know if that was product related or just coincidence. I still gave it 5 stars because it did what it claimed to do and more quickly and noticeably than I expected.
