amazing product

Quick Take: moisturizing, clearing
I've used everything to try to clear my combination skin. Not only does it moisturize well without being too heavy, it also cleared my skin up quickly. I will never switch to another product.

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
So....I don't know bout this. Contemplating returning it because it does moisturize my face but it also leaves a greasy layer or sheen after I put on my makeup as well..MY face is overall better but I do think it is because of my Clarisonic etc...

Doesn't Work!
-02.24.13
Sorry Dr. Brandt, I don't think this works. And it smells like a little boy's cologne. :) In a seriousness, saw no improvement after finishing most of a jar and using it regularly. It does give light moisture, goes on smooth, and feels great on the skin, not heavy at all. Just doesn't do what it says so I wouldn't buy it again.

What to say?
Pros:
-Smells nice
-Fast absorbing
-LIGHT Moisturization
Cons:
-Price
-LIGHT Moisturization
-Little to no improvement in skin.
-Thick product makes you think that you need a lot to cover the entire face (not necessarily true)
I have also started breaking out after I added this and a couple of other products to my facial regimen, not sure if this is the cause.

Didn't see any change
-02.11.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
I bought this product because of the great ratings and because I wanted to buy something to shrink my pores. Well... super fail! My pores didn't shrink and I think they actually got bigger. Plus I can see them more. My face is already oily and since using this moisturizer it's gotten even worse. I'm very disappointment, specially since its so expensive. I wish I could still return it and get my money back.

Good night moisturizer
-12.21.12
Quick Take: moisturizing
I could not give the product less than 3 stars even though I should because it is a good night time moisturizer in the dry winter months. I have combination skin and this has not reduced the size of my pores. My acne prone skin as cleared some since I began using the product but I contribute it to a better overall regime.

Quick Take: exfoliating
Helps to refine. Great buy. But don't expect miracles.
I have tried the vaccum cleaner my this brand and my review is pretty much the same. It has helped my overly large pores.

Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating
It is a refining cream. Yes! And it really works because it controls oil on my face so well that my face is clean and clear all day long! But i do not think it really can help me tightening my pores......

Quick Take: moisturizing, pore refining
This cream is perfect for anyone who truley is willing to pay to see a difference in their pores. I've used this product on and off for about 2 years, due to the price, but every time I find myself coming back to it, because it truely makes a difference in refining pores. Although a bit thick for day use, it is amazing as a night cream. I simply use a different day cream with SPF, and then use this for night time only. GREAT PRODUCT

Oily

Not pleased with cream-for some reason it makes my face extremely oily and my face looks shiny. Not to mention it seemed to create more clogged pores! If after a month it does not work, I will return product & maybe try something else.

Good stuff
-01.03.12
I was looking for a really moisturizing night cream that wouldn't irritate my sensitive, acne-prone skin. A Sephora consultant recommended this one, which he uses as well.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks and definitely notice that my face is more soft and smooth and it doesn't irritate my skin.

Quick Take: decongesting
I have consistently used pore effect for 9 years, and it has kept my pores teeny tiny amd my skin decongested. It's nice and rich which keeps in my moisture while keeping the dirt and grim of the city out of my pores.

I I am using dr. brandt's pore no more + Caudalie in the morning. Dr. Dennis Gross+DDF in the night. I have not had any pimples for 3 weeks. Before I will have pimple every Monday or Tuesday maybe because I ate some oily foods on weekend. Anyway my skin is clearly and pore seems smaller. I have very sensitive but they are all fine for me.

Not the worst, not the best. It hasn't made my face worse, or better, but I am willing to give it more time. I like the smell :) Super thick, but perfect for my oily/combo skin.
