Advantages: Does what it promises Disadvantages: eek, the £47 price tag
...However, I have recently tried Estee Lauder Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher for the first time, and I have finally found a scarily priced product which does actually do what it promises.
You might be wondering if I am so price phobic how I even came to try out this product, so I will explain. Just before Christmas, I won a competition at work where I won a facial and £50 voucher to spend at the Estee Lauder counter in my local department store. ... ...to try. Obviously she recommended Estee Lauder products but I would have been surprised if she hadn't. It wasn't a hard sell though, which is more preferred technique with me. The Pore Minimzing Treatment was the one that she said I should get if I was only going to get 1 product. The 50ml bottle was priced at £47, so my voucher covered the cost. I could have tried the smaller 30ml for £34 but would have then been faced with the quandry of what to ...

Advantages: Reduces pores and provides lovely base for make up Disadvantages: Touch pricey...get someone to buy for you as a gift!
This product is fantastic. My 50ml bottle was bought as a Christmas gift this year and, after using it every morning and most nights, is still not empty. Just a tiny amount is all that is needed to reduce pores and generally reduce appearance of redness on cheeks. I decided to not use it for the last 3 weeks to see if I noticed the difference; I have subsequently restarted the regular application!
Skin is left soft and plump after application and ... ...pores do not completely close and skin does not become suddenly perfect, but have experienced fewer spot and blackhead outbreaks as a result of using this product;
I even found that I needed less or sometimes no moisturiser after application. A little luxurious and maybe a tad expensive unless bought from a cheap(ish) cosmetics store online but definitely worth it. I'll certainly be buying another bottle when I finish this one. ...

Still trying to find it cheaper somewhere but thinking that I might just pay the full price as it is so good and you only need a small amount. It works brilliantly as a primer before foundation and it makes foundation just slide on so smoothly. But it can work just as well on its own when you have no time for foundation. It smells lovely too! I would ...
