Hello Ladies,

It's happened to me twice now, that I've found a pore refiner that I like and it gets discontinued. So, here I am again seeking to find a pore refiner that works for me. The first one I used was AWESOME, It actually pinched my face as it was drying- the minor discomfort was def worth the gain, great stuff! The second one I used wasn't as powerful, but it did show result. Any recommendations for my next purchase would be much appreciated, thanks all.

Have a blessed day through prayer,
Chell~

So What Happened?

Okay, so I checked out both Avon and Mary Kay, but didn't see what i was looking for. I'd really like to have a mask that I can apply, leave on to dry, then rinse off. I found one by Soap&Glory that seems to be pretty good, it's called, scrub your nose in it, lol. You apply it like a mask, let it dry, then wet it and use it as a face scrub as you're rinsing it off. I like it so far, though it seems to pale in comparison to what I've had before. I think I got use to the slight pinching sensation and out-a-sight results with my prior refiner. I'm hoping i'll see results over time, perhaps a week or two, and that my face won't dry out & flake. I plan on checking out Clinique next chance I get. I'm not into wearing face make-up, except on occasion, so i don't know how the other products suggested would appeal to me. I'll keep all your info in mind Ladies, thanks for taking the time to share.

Bests in Christ,
Chell~

I use Neutrogena pore refiner and it works fairly well. I also use on top of my makeup a pore reducing makeup product from Mally Beauty. It is fabulous at hiding those pores! I cannot remember the name but it comes in a pink compact and comes with a sponge for application....it works wonders!

Visit makeup alley (link below) for reviews and product recommendations just like what you are looking for. It really is helpful.

Clinique has a GREAT pore minimizing treatments. I currently use the Pore Minimizer Thermal-Active Skin Refiner. You apply it and then wash it off. I use it in the shower.

I also use their Instant Perfector-light. It's amazing. You can wear under or over make-up. I apply it before. It makes your pores disappear. Very cool.

I haven't experienced any drying with either of them. I also have very acne prone skin and both products have been kindly gentle with me. 8)

Peace.
