Oil-free, non-acnegenic Effectively improve your complexion by reducing the look of pores Instantly clears away debris & impurities Continuous to strengthen pore walls
Advantages: Feels great, makes your skin look great Disadvantages: Cost
I have enlarged pores on my face due to suffering with acne as a teenager. Though people tell me they are not noticeable, I know that they are just being polite. I got married a few months ago and was determined to make my skin look as good as it could so invested in some I had never used before to give me a head start.
What is it?
It is a liquid that you apply to your face. Not a mask and not a wash, but you kind of apply it to your wet face and wash it off again. I tend to use it when i'm in the bath.
What does it do?
It opens your pores to deep cleanse them, and dislodges debris trapped in your pores. It polishes away dullness, removes excess oil and claims to reduce the size of pores instantly and over time.
How does it work?
The thermal active ingredient heats up when it has contact with water. It ...
Advantages: Non greasy formula... great for us blemish sufferers. Disadvantages: Takes a long time of usage to start working.
I have blemish prone skin, which can often become too oily or too dry depending on it's mood. I have large pores mainly on my nose, and I was looking for a poreminimizing product for quite sometime.

It isn't greasy or oily and rubs in very well. I also apply it on an evening, again after doing my cleansing routine.
I spoke to the Clinique sales advisor before I purchased this ...
admit that I do not use Clinique products for the 3-step care as I find the soap too drying & the clarifying lotion 'burns' my skin! I would suggest that any decent products designed for these purposes would work just as well, so long as you use them twice every day.
Anyway, after following the "3-steps", I applied the serum sparingly in the problem areas. Clinique claims:
"(A)...lightweight lotion that immediately and over time minimises the appearance of enlarged pores due to excess sebum production or from aging and the breakdown in the collagen lattice.
Benefits
Minimises appearance of pores over the long term by repairing collagen structure around pore wall. Immediately minimises the appearance of pores. Exfoliates dead skin cells to prevent future clogging and prevent build-up."
Well, that's a tall order to live up to! I ...
