This product is really poorly named. I wanted it because it is the least expensive, over the counter retinol product that has Azaelic Acid in it (which is really hard to get over the counter for a...

This is not prescription of course, despite the name Dermadoctor, and as an over-the-counter serum, it's formulated to be less potent than a drug you'd get from the pharmacy. However, it does...

I bought this serum after it was recommended to me by a Sephora salesperson for my blackheads and large pores. I'm pretty disappointed because I love DERMAdoctor's Wrinkle Revenge products. This...

I got a generous tube sample from Sephora and looked it up on Beautypedia where it's listed as an AHA. So, I treated it as an exfoliant rather than something only to shrink pores, which I don't...

disappointing product, doesn't do anything that it claims too, pore size not affected by it at all. I used on my forehead, between my brows and on my nose. zero change. For the price you'd...

I got a 10ml sample from Sephora, and I only used it on my nose, twice a day, and it lasted for months. Disappointingly, zero effect. The product promised instant as well as long-term results - I...

I got this product as a 100 point perk from Sephora. While I am not a chemist, I suspect it works by vasodilation, since it warns against use if you are allergic to aspirin or products similar to...

This good for slowly shrinking pores through exfoliation and it’s unrealistic for reviewers to expect it to work instantly. I was noticing that the pores on my t zone were getting bigger with age...

The product did shrink by pores on the cheeks by a lot. They almost can't be seen now after only 2 weeks of slightly inconsistent use. I only need a really small quantity put on every night and i...

this expensive little product did nothing for my adult acne, oily skin, or enlarged pores. it's also fairly sticky in consistency, making it difficult to spread before it dries. perhaps it would...

Been using this for a month. I don't notice any immediate results (in terms of mattifying or "shrinking") and haven't noticed anything longterm...in fact (hate to say this) the blackheads that I...

Picture Porefect creates a barrier that stops sweat and break-through oil. A very little goes a long way. Nothing "cures" enlarged pores, but while this is on my face, it definitely "shrinks" my...

Very sticky.. which made my freshly washed face feel dirty. I bought 2 from Sephora at $50 a piece. After months of daily use it did absolutely nothing for me. GARBAGE.
