Pore minimiser June 8, 2008

I have tried and tried to take some photos of my pores before and after using Clinique’s Pore Minimizer Instant Perfecter. But my camera doesn’t pick up the required detail, so you’ll just have to take my word for the results.

I got the Instant Perfecter as a free-gift-with-purchase from Clinique a while ago, along with their Pore Minimizer Refining Lotion.

They say:

Camouflages the look of enlarged pores to immediately create a smooth, perfected look. Long wearing, oil-free formula is water and sweat resistant.

I have to say I was surprised to see a difference in the look of my pores, especially around the creases of my nose and on my chin. If only my camera would pick up the difference too so I could show you. The feel of the Instant Perfecter is lovely on the skin - soft, kinda powdery, giving a smooth finish. It’s a good replacement for foundation (if you don’t worry about ‘coverage’) as it’s tinted too.

The Refining Lotion I got to try is more of a long term thing so difficult to tell if it makes any difference to pore size at all. It’s the kind of product you’d need faith in, so I’m not gonna recommend it.

I reckon the Instant Perfecter is well worth a try though - the results are instant so you can see for yourself in store before buying it. Maybe you could ask for a sample to take home…

This sounds like miracle cream! I had a look at the website for other reviews and everybody has given it good ratings. Not so the thermal pore refiner thingo (is this the product you got?), which most people said did bad things to their skin. Thanks for the tip Amy!

I don’t wanna recommend it and it turn out crap, but you can tell for yourself as soon as you try it in store. Unlike every other pore product this one is instant, albeit temporary.
