I love this product because my skin gets really oily, and this really helps! I know this claims to be pore minimizer, but I don't really notice that effect. I love how it makes my makeup go on so...

According to the seller this was supposed to be a kind of "pore minimizer".. But does this refine the texture of the skin or minimize pores? No...I wanted it to do so, but no... I was a little...

i am a bit indifferent to this, it made the pores on my nose less noticable, but it was slightly too dry so the foundation seemed to grab on to it more making it heavier than i wanted. i still love...

I really really wanted to like this and even got the advice of a very helpful MAC MUA who did a great makeover on me but this, sadly, did not work for me. I have a very oily T-zone and followed all...

This product works wonders for reducing the size of visible pores, but only if you apply it correctly and it is a rather finicky product. Apply with a concealer brush, very lightly along your T...

This product made my T zone oilier! Maybe because it was clogging my pores?! This smells like paint, NOT MAC paints, but PAINT like the stuff on walls! No effect whatsoever on the size of my pores!...

My sister swears by this but I think it's ok product. After I put the primer on, I put a small amount just on my T zone. I don't think it does much for oil control but it does make my large pores...
